• In order to get the best performance – with the lowest possible TXPower setting or widest possible signal coverage – without unnecessarily wasting battery life
• If you need the signal range to be as wide as possible in a high traffic area – use the max power setting and install the beacon roughly 2 meters (6 ½ feet) up from the floor, to reduce interference from people walking by
• If you only need the beacon to be detected a few meters / several feet away (say to identify a product sitting on a shelf) – use a lower power setting
• Always be mindful of “line-of-sight” i.e. that in general there are no objects in between a beacon and the customer’s smart device
• If getting “line-of-sight” is impossible or impractical – try to make sure these objects are not too heavy or dense e.g. thick steel panels or brick walls between a beacon and smart device
• For areas where security could be a concern, beacons can be installed behind locking plexiglass cages, they typo often seen encasing thermostats.

Since beacons can have their TXPower configured individually, it is easy to mix and match beacons with different TXPower settings. This enables you to assign an optimal value to each beacon, based on the intended use of that beacon. Enabling you to maximize efficiency as best appropriate.

• Beacons can easily be mounted using UHU Putty, available at most stationery stores.
• As a best practice, be sure that the putty extends beyond the paper label on the underside of the beacon.  This will ensure that the beacon will not fall in event the paper label "dries up"  as the label's holding power is less than that of the putty.
