To verify if the tag is powered on, press and quickly release either the blue or red button. Look for the LED to blink for a few seconds as a confirmation it's powered on.

Continuously pressing either of the tag's buttons may result in activating a button press event. If you do not see an LED flashing after a button press, do not press a button for 5 seconds to allow the tag to clear the previous button event.
If a tag's LED does not blink after pressing and quickly releasing either the blue or red button, follow these steps to turn it on:
-
Press and hold either the blue or red button for 5 seconds.
-
Once you observe the LED blinking, it indicates that the tag is now turned ON.
To turn off a tag, follow these steps:

Press and hold either the blue or red button for 5 seconds.

Once the LED stops blinking, it indicates that the tag has been turned OFF.
To program the buttons for an Asset Tag 2 to trigger an excursion event (alert) when a button is pressed, a policy is required to be created for each of its buttons. Policies are created and managed from the Kio Cloud Policy Foundry app.
