Your Smart Badge is associated with you and supports the Kontakt.io solutions used by your organization. How the badge is used varies by solution and may include location-aware functionality, button interactions, or other badge-based workflows. Wearing your badge correctly helps ensure these workflows work as intended.
What the badge does not do
Just as important as what it does:
- Does not record audio or video.
- Does not work outside your organization's Kontakt.io coverage areas — at home or offsite.
Wearing your badge correctly
- Wear the badge on the outside of your clothing.
- Keep the badge visible and unobstructed.
- Keep the IR sensor (black corner) visible.
- Make sure clothing, identification cards, lanyards, or other items do not cover the badge.
- Wear the badge throughout your shift or whenever required by your organization.
Keep the IR sensor (black corner) visible
Two buttons on the front. The black corner is the IR sensor.
Good vs. bad — at a glance
| Good — IR sensor visible. Worn on the outside of clothing. | Good — clear of items. Nothing covering the badge. |
| Bad — in a pocket. IR sensor covered. | Bad — under a jacket. Badge hidden by clothing. |
Key takeaways
- Wear your badge visibly and consistently on the outside of your clothing.
- Keep the IR sensor (black corner) visible.
- If the Kio solution includes button presses for a specific workflow, keep the button within easy reach.
- Wear it throughout your shift — don't leave it at your desk or stored away.
