Overview

Operation

Basically, iBS06 will always transmit the BLE payload in the configured time interval(by default is 5s) after power on. The transmitted BLE payload/message is then received and uploaded to the internet/cloud server by the beacon gateway, such as iGS01S or iGS03W/M/E.
Power on
Two CR2012 batteries are pre-installed in each iBS06 beacon at shipment. Please remove the isolation plastic sheet to power it. You will see the LED flash when powered on. At power-on, the user can configure it within 20 seconds.

Power off
Just pull out the battery slot to power off iBS06.
