18

4.2.3 MX-Beacon®

This System allows the user to apply indoor location aware
notification beacons, known as the MX-Beacon®. These
devices are used for indoor locations or the creation of
other types of safe zones.

On the dashboard, please go to the page called Beacon
Management as indicated in the diagram below. In this
section the user will create/setup one or all the Beacons
required. These Beacons wil l be defined for each Locator.

Beacon Function

In Safe Beacon mode, the Bracelet will NOT report as it is

within the Safe Beacon zone.

In the Location mode, the Bracelet will report the location.

Please note that this will be the default option.

19

Reference the next section for more details and setting
up multi-Beacon safe zones.

4.3 MX-Beacon® Management

This section is used to allow the user to create a list of
Beacons that are desired to create a safe boundary for the
wearer/wearers of the Bracelet(s). The user can decide
to use his/her own MX-Beacon or connect to another
person’s MX- Beacon that would extend the safety areas.

Setting up multiple Beacons:

Please go to the MX-Beacon Management Tab of
dashboard. It will give a list of registered MX-Beacon’s
being used.

Press the “ ” icon to add a new Beacon.
Input the Beacon-ID, which is indicated on the product
label of the Beacon or on the box of that Beacon, and the
password, which is defaulted as 12345.
Give a nickname to the Beacon, such as “Living Room”, and
tell the system it’s your “Own Beacon”. We called it
“Own Beacon” if it is initial Beacon or an extra Beacon you
purchase from your distributor/dealer, otherwise
“Reference Beacon”.
To delete a Beacon. Check the appropriate Beacon from
the list and press the “ ” to delete that beacon.

If it is the user’s own beacon, click on the beacon and it ’ll
pop up a window with map as following. The nickname or

20

address can be changed to define the location of that
Beacon. The cursor on the map can be moved to do the
same thing.

4.4 Real-time Tracking

On the dashboard, please go to “Real-time Tracking”.

automatically display the latest location record of the
Bracelet.

The user can also click on the corresponding “Current
Location” button, as indicated in the red circle in the

21

following figure, to trigger the Bracelet to report its
current location. After the “Current Location” button is
pressed, the button will turn into a timer bar. If the timer
bar runs to the end and times out, it will pop up a window
with message “(Bracelet name) Get current location time
out”. There are a few reasons why the system times out

and they are as follows:

 The Bracelet was out of the GSM cellular

service area, such as in a basement,
underground garage or subway; or

 The Bracelet did not receive the GPS signal

due to limited or very low battery life.

4.5 History

On the dashboard, please go to “History”. Click on the
Bracelet from the list on the left. The user will be able to
see the Bracelet’s history locations including a breadcrumb
trail as well as the warning history on the specific date
selected from the calendar displayed.

22

To drill down reports even further, the user can click on
the bar as indicated in the red circle above and get a
pop-up window with the record list of the Bracelet chosen
on that date, as shown in this format:

The user can also click on the items to further drill down
the record desired in the following formats:

- All: list all the reported records

- Alert: list only the reported records with alerts

- No Alert: list only the reported records without alerts

- Unread Alert: list with alerts that have not been read

or cleared. The “Read All” button can be clicked onto
clear them at one time.

excel file. When selecting output, the system allows

23

you to input time range and choose “All”, “Alert” or
“No Alert” for screening.

Please note that this data is saved on for up to six

months.

Battery information



This device is powered by a rechargeable battery and

care and protection is required by the user. For long

term device preservation and peak performance, it is

recommend the Bracelet be charged with the same

care and maintenance as any other expensive cellular

device.



Use only the approved charger to recharge the battery.



Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the

device when not in use. Do not leave the battery

connected to a charger. Overcharging may shorten its

lifetime.

Operating Environment



Remember to follow special regulations in any area and

always power off the device when its use is prohibited

or when it may cause interference or danger. Please

reference section 1.1 for the operation. Use the device

only in normal operating conditions. Do not keep the

device near credit cards and other magnetized products

or media, as some cellular devices and/or accessories

can demagnetize the products or media and have been

known to possibly delete the data.



Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum

separation of 6 inches (20cm) should be maintained

between a wireless device and a pacemaker to avoid

potential interference with the pacemaker. These

recommendations are consistent with the independent

40

research by and recommendations of Wireless

Technology Research (WTR), L.L.C ‘s public health

program. To minimize the potential interference,

persons with pacemakers should do as below:



Always keep the device more than 6 in (20 cm) from the

pacemaker when the device is switched on.



Do not carry the device in a breast pocket. If necessary

to do so, carry the device in the breast pocket across

from the pacemaker.



If there is any reason to suspect that interference is

taking place, switch off the device immediately.

Hearing aids

Some digital wireless devices such as the MX-LOCare®

Bracelet may interfere with some hearing aids.

Small children

Although the MX-LOCare® Bracelet can fit on a toddler’s
wrist, please note that its enhancements may contain
small parts. Keep out of the reach of small children.

Other medical devices

Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including

wireless phones, may interfere with the functionality of

inadequately protected medical devices. Power off the

device in health care facilities when any regulations are

posted in these areas instructing the user to do so. Please

reference section 1.1 for the operation.

41

Regulatory Agency Identifications

The following regulatory body identification numbers have
been assigned to the BR1 and its peripheral MX-Beacon1 :

FCC ID for BR1: 2AAYELOCAREBR1
FCC ID for MX-Beacon1: 2AAYEBEACON1

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation.

8. Care and maintenance

The Bracelet is a product of high quality design and

craftsmanship and it is recommended following the listed

suggestions to help protect the Locator and maintain the

one year warranty coverage.



Although the Bracelet is IP-67 waterproof, it is

recommended the user keep the device dry. The device

can be immersed for short periods of time. It is not

recommended for swimmers. It is recommended that

once the device is wet that the Bracelet is dried using a

clean cloth making sure to keep the contact points

clean.



Do not store the device in hot areas or directly in the

sun. High temperatures can shorten the life of

electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt

42

certain plastics.



Do not store the device in cold areas. When the device

returns to its normal temperature, moisture can form

inside the device and damage electronic circuit boards.



Do not attempt to open the device as this will certainly

void the warranty and ruin the waterproof seal.



Do not drop, bang, or shake the device. Rough handling

can possibly break internal circuit boards and breach

the warranty.



Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong

detergents to clean the device.



Do not paint the device. Paint can clog the moving parts

and prevent proper operation.



Use a soft, clean, dry cloth to clean any lenses, such as

proximity sensor and light sensor lens.



Always keep a log of passwords and login credentials

GPS drift is common with GPS devices. Efforts have been

made to eliminate as much drift as possible when the

Bracelet is outside. There are various factors that can

produce drift such as being in a covered area, solar storms

and other factors which may distort the GPS signal. By

using the MX-Beacon, the device will use the beacon’s

location and will not rely on GPS thus reducing the chance

of GPS drift which can trigger alerts.

As with all GPS products, they must be charged to work

properly. MobilMAX is not responsible if device is not

43

charged.
