8. Insert or replace batteries
NOTE: Use only limited power 3.6 V Primary lithium-thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl2) batteries. We
recommend using batteries SAFT LS14500 or EEMB ER14505.
NOTE: Batteries replacement must be done in a dry indoor environment.
NOTE: Loading the batteries with their polarities inverted is forbidden and might cause fire and
injury, or damage to the surrounding areas.
NOTE: The user must replace all batteries at the same time and replace only with new batteries of
the recommended type. There is a risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect or non-
recommended type.
1. Before opening the battery compartment lid, if moisture or water drops are present, dry Smilio S
housing with clean soft towel.
2. Open the battery compartment lid using the 6 Philips screws and the appropriate screwdriver.
3. In case of battery replacement, remove batteries. [1]
4. Respect polarity. [1]
5. Insert five AA limited power 3.6 V Primary lithium-thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl2) batteries. [2]
6. Check that the gasket, which prevents water and dust from entering, is at the right place and
untwisted.
7. Close the battery compartment lid using the 6 Philips screws and the appropriate screwdriver. [3]
NOTE: Do not dispose of used batteries in unauthorized places (you should respect the
environment by taking the batteries to a suitable collection site). Batteries should not be disposed of in
household waste but should be recycled instead.
NOTE: Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.

9. Boot sequence
Throughout the boot process, the LEDs will blink alternatively green and red.
NOTE: Each time Smilio S is turned off and turned on (batteries removed and replaced), or if the
user pushes the reset button, or if the user makes a manual reset, the boot sequence is executed.
9.1.Sigfox® boot sequence
At the end of the Sigfox® boot sequence, Smilio S will try to update its configuration via downlink.
Therefore, an acknowledged downlink query frame, which starts by “04”, is sent by the device to the
Sigfox® backend. Several possible scenarios:
•Boot with updating settings and restart
oPreconditions: a valid downlink payload available on the Sigfox® backend and the
downlink payload is different from the stored settings.
oIf the downlink payload is received by the device, and settings are updated, Smilio’s
LEDs light up steadily green for 3 seconds and Smilio S resets. After the second
boot sequence, Smilio’s LEDs light up steadily red for 3 seconds. The red color
doesn't mean that updating and restart have failed, but that the stored settings aren’t
updated twice in a row.
•Boot without updating settings
oPreconditions: a valid downlink payload available on the Sigfox® backend and the
downlink payload is the same as the stored settings.
oIf the downlink payload is received by the device, Smilio’s LEDs light up steadily
green for 3 seconds. The Smilio S does not restart because the stored payload is
the same as downloaded payload.
•Boot without payload, without valid payload or out of network coverage
oPreconditions: an invalid downlink payload available on the Sigfox® backend, no
payload available on the Sigfox® backend or “Downlink Mode “at “NONE”, and
downlink payload not received by device.
oNo payload is received by device, settings aren’t updated, Smilio’s LEDs light up
steadily red for 3 seconds. The Smilio S does not restart. In this case, the last
settings saved in EEPROM flash memory are used.
At the first startup and without downlink, the factory default settings will be used.

9.2.Sigfox® Downlink Query
A Sigfox® downlink request is done during:
•Boot Sequence
•Manual Reset
•Hard Reset
To start the “downlink process”, the user has to press one of the five buttons and at the same time
activate the magnetic sensor. LEDs blink alternatively green and red throughout the restart process.
For details about the boot and downlink Sigfox® sequence, see paragraph 9.1.
9.3.LoRaWAN™boot sequence
The Smilio Action’s boot sequence in LoRaWAN is similar to the Sigfox® boot sequence. Please refer
to the paragraph 9.1.
9.4.LoraWan™Downlink
The LoRaWAN Downlink process is different from the Sigfox® Downlink Process. For more details,
please refer to the LoRaWAN specifications which can be downloaded on the LoRa Alliance website.
If a payload exists in the downlink queue, this payload is pushed from the backend to the Smilio S after
each uplink (the downlink query frame included). The Smilio S checks if a downlink payload is available
after each uplink. If a valid downlink payload is available, and if this payload is different from the settings
stored in EEPROM, Smilio S updates these settings and restart (see boot sequence paragraph 9.3).
After each successful downlink process, the payload is erased from the backend downlink queue. For a
new downlink, a new payload must be pushed in the backend’s Downlink Queue. For more details,
please contact your LoRaWAN provider.
9.4.1.Smilio S Uplink/Downlink port
Smilio S use port “2” for uplink and downlink. To create and push a valid downlink payload with your
backend, please select port number “2”.
There is no obligation to activate the acknowledgment.

10.Manual Reset
To restart the Smilio S, without reset of counters, the user has to activate the magnetic sensor and at
the same time press one of the five buttons. For more details about the reset sequence, please refer to
the paragraph 9.1. To activate the magnetic sensor, place the magnetic badge as describe on the picture
below and press quickly one of the five buttons.
Restart Smilio S can be useful for:
•Making a new “Join” process. This process is useful if you change the location of the Smilio
S. During the “LoRaWAN Join” process, the radio parameters are exchanged between the
backend and the device: Channels, Spreadfactor (SF), etc…
•Making a new join and a downlink process in Sigfox®.
•Restart the Smilio S without opening the battery lid.
11.Hard-Reset
To make a Hard Reset, press the push button next to the battery’s holders. During the hard-reset
process, counters are reset to zero.
Restart Smilio S can be useful for:
•Making a new “Join” process. This process is useful if you change the location of the Smilio
S. During the “LoRaWAN Join” process, the radio parameters are exchanged between the
backend and the device: Channels, Spreadfactor (SF), etc…

The frame format is:
01 XXXX YYYY 64
01 = Keep Alive data frame
XXXX = Battery voltage in idle mode –hexadecimal millivolts value
YYYY = Battery voltage in emission (Tx) –hexadecimal millivolts value
Example of « Keep Alive Frame »:
010c800c8064
01 = data frame type« Keep Alive Frame)
0c80 = Battery voltage in idle mode: 3200mV
0c80 = Battery voltage in emission (Tx): 3200mV
