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.
