Button, sounds and lights
What the TAG's button does and what its sounds and lights mean.
The button
The TAG has one button, and only one action:
- Hold for 3 seconds: starts an SOS. During an SOS, holding it for 3 seconds again cancels it.
A short press never starts or cancels an SOS.
Sounds
- Four rising notes: the TAG took your hold and the SOS countdown starts.
- One beep per second: the 20-second countdown. Hold the button for 3 seconds to cancel.
- Two-tone siren: the SOS was sent and is active.
- The siren stops and a short rising tone plays: someone acknowledged your SOS. It stays active.
- Falling notes: the SOS was cancelled or closed.
- Two low tones: the TAG is not set up yet, so no SOS was sent. Pair it with the app first.
You can change the volume in the app: TAG tab, Device volume. It sets the siren too: at 0 the siren is silent. The TAG does not vibrate.
Lights
- Fast blinking: SOS countdown.
- Steady light: SOS active.
- Light goes off: the SOS ended.
- A short flash every 10 seconds: the TAG is resting after 30 minutes without moving. It wakes up when it moves. While it rests, holding the button for 3 seconds still starts an SOS.
Battery and switching off
The app shows the TAG's battery and warns you when it is low. Charge it before an outing, and before a firmware update: updates need at least 20 % battery.
The button does not switch the TAG off. To switch it off, use the app with the TAG connected: TAG tab, ⋮ menu, Shut down device, then Power off.
