• Confirm that S1G connectivity is established before attempting to add the Beacon to your FireBoard account.

To power up your FireBoard Beacon:

• Use the small thumbscrew to open the battery door and install 2x AA batteries. Lithium batteries are recommended for optimal performance, particularly in cold environments.
• After powering up, the Beacon will transmit data in real-time for 10 minutes.
• To re-enable real-time mode after this period, press the small button on the back of the Beacon. This will activate another 10 minutes of real-time data transmission.

To pair your Beacon with your FireBoard account:

1. Open the FireBoard Mobile App and log in or set up your account.
2. Navigate to the Devices tab and select “Add FireBoard.”
