To factory reset the BT710, start with the BT710 in Active mode. Press and hold the pushbutton until the status LED blinks
yellow (approximately 10 seconds) and then release. The BT710 status LED lights red briefly, followed by a reset cycle, and
then go into Active mode.
The BT710 requires a CR2477 3-Volt lithium battery. The battery door (see Figure 3) is under the clasp on the backside of the
BT710. To open, turn the battery door counterclockwise. A coin may be used to aid in removal.
Note: When the battery is replaced, the BT710 goes into Shipment mode. The internal clock setting is not retained and
must be set again as explained in the Connecting with the Mobile App section.
The BT710 can be cleaned with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. The BT710 is not IP-rated/waterproof, so do not immerse it in
water or cleaning fluids.
▪Does the proximity algorithm only work between BT710 to BT710 tags?
–Yes. We currently only support Laird Connectivity Bluetooth devices.
▪Does the BT710 have the ability to read body temperature and, based on that reading, does it then send an alarm of
high reading?
–No. The BT710 is not able to record body temperature.
▪Is the BT710 programmable?
–Yes. Various parameters can be programmed via the Mobile app and with customer specific firmware during the
time of manufacturing based on meeting MOQ requirements.
▪What is the battery life of the BT710 tracer?
–Battery lifetime depends on the settings used for recording latency and user alerts. Typically, battery lifetimes
range between one month (very low latency) and one year.
▪How much memory is inside the BT710 tag? If I don’t check into the gateway, how long will it take to fill the tag up?
–The BT710 can log over 1000 events.
▪What happens to the contacts as they exceed 350 log entries in a 24-hour contact period? FIFO or other?
–When the BT710 log is full, it replaces existing entries in a FIFO manner, overwriting the oldest entries
with the most recent entries as more entries are captured.
