Intended Use

What is the Gimbal U-Series 5 Proximity Beacon?

The Gimbal™ U-Series 5 Proximity Beacon (the ‘Beacon’) is a small, USB-powered
device that transmits a Bluetooth Smart/low-energy (BLE) signal that can be detected
by other devices (e.g., smartphones or other devices capable of receiving the signal).
This signal enables the identification of the Beacon.

The Beacon works by periodically waking up, transmitting this signal via short-range
radio (Bluetooth Smart/LE) and then returning to a low-power state. The Beacon has
no user interface (UI), cellular or GPS capabilities. The Beacon’s identity is encoded
within the signal it transmits and includes a sub-segment device type.

Important safety instructions for your Beacon
