3.3 Powersaving
 Automaticdisplayturnoff
Ifthereisnofurthervisualalarmtobedisplayed,theLCDdisplay(①)willautomaticallyturn
offafter30seconds.Thedisplaywillturnonimmediatelywhenanewvisualalarmneedstobe
givenoranyofthebuttonshavebeenpressed.

 Sleepmode
Thesafetytaggoesintosleepmodeifithasremainedstaticformorethanoneminute.Inthis
mode,thetagwillstopallitsactivitiesandturnofftheLCDdisplay(①).Itwillnotbedetected
byanyLocaSafebasestationandwillnottriggeranyalarm.Thesafetytagwillinstantlywakeup
whenitismovedandwillrecommenceitsnormalfunctionality.
Theinternalbatterycanpowerthesafetytagin‘sleepmode’formorethanonemonth.
3.4 Powerindication
Theremainingbatterycapacityandthebatterychargingstateareindicatedbythebatteryiconinthe
LCDdisplay(①).Additionally,theoperationindicator(②)usesdifferentcolorstoindicatethebattery
status.Theindicatorflasheswithabluelightwhentheremainingbatterycapacityisabove20%.This
changestoaredlightifthebatterycapacityfallsbelow20%.
3.5 Recharge:
Connectthe5VUSBmagneticcontactchargertotheLocaSafesafetytagtorechargethetag’slithium
battery.
Theoperationindicator(②)willdisplayasolidorangelightwhenthesafetytagisrecharging.The
safetytag’sfunctionalityautomaticallystopswhenitisbeingrecharged.Whilerecharging,LocaSafe
basestationswillnottriggeranyalarm.
Theoperationindicator(④)willturngreenwhenthesafetytag’sbatteryisfullycharged.
TheLocaSafesafetytagusesali‐pobatterywhichhasnomemory.Thismeansthatbatteryperformance
doesnotdiminishwhenpartialchargingfrequentlyoccurs.
4 SetTimeandDate
TheTime/DatethataredisplayedontheLCDscreencorrespondwiththeUTC+1TimeZone.Theywill
needtobeadjustedifthesafetytagisusedinadifferentUTCzone.Whenthebatteryiscompletely
empty,thetime/datewillberesettoJanuary1,2000,00:00:00.Youwillneedtomanuallyresetthe
Time/Dateaccordingly.
TochangethetimeontheLocaSafesafetytag:
1. WhenadjustingtheLocaSafesafetytag’ssettings,ensureyouareinasafelocationawayfrom
anymovingvehiclesandalsooutofrangeofanyLocaSafebasestation.Ifanalarmistriggered
byanearbyLocaSafebasestationwhileadjustingthetime,thetagwillexitthetimesetting
modeandanychangeswillnotbesaved.Alsomakesurethebatteryhasbeensufficiently
