    Note

    Settings can only be changed with an active Bluetooth connection between your computer and AirID reader.


    Tip

    To avoid unintended disconnects, keep in mind that the minimum distance for the automated log-out is about three meters between your computer and AirID reader.


    Tip

    The distance value for the "Distance Sensor" feature represents a relative value. It depends on the signal strength of the AirID, on the environment and on other interferencing signals.
