The Device Detail page is presented


The details are:
  1. Device ID - Unique ID of the AnnoLog. Also etched on the back of the device.
  2. Current location - Based on the current configuration of the logger; otherwise the field is blank.
  3. Running status - For a detailed explanation of each status, see this article.
  4. Start date/time of current configuration - If no current configuration, this field is blank.
  5. End date/time of current configuration - If no current configuration, this field is blank.
  6. Last Download - If there is no current configuration or there is a current configuration but not yet downloaded, this field is blank.
  7. Device expiry date - Subscription expiry date of this logger.

When you have a quantity of loggers to configure, you can more easily identify a particular AnnoLog from a group with the assistance of the Bluetooth transmission.
This speeds up configuration activities as it saves you from having to physically pick up an AnnoLog, turn it over, check its ID and compare it with the list of AnnoLogs in the app for selection.
  1. Click the Blink button to trigger the AnnoLog, with the same ID, to blink a blue light three times (may take up to 2 seconds).

All done!
