Operating Instructions

How the Alert System Works

The Prox PRD utilizes Advanced Alert Technology, which triggers an alert when the PRD device itself is moving and separates from your paired phone. This means it will alert you if you are leaving your phone behind, rather than if your phone is moving away from you. The typical alert distance is approximately 50 to 150 feet. This range can vary based on environmental factors such as obstructions (walls, furniture) and whether you are indoors or outdoors. The device is not designed to alert at very short distances, such as 10 feet.

Button Functions

The single button on your Prox PRD device has multiple functions:

• 1 Click: Connectivity Check - Verifies the Bluetooth connection between the PRD and your phone.
• 2 Clicks: Remote Selfie Clicker - Acts as a remote shutter for your phone's camera app.
• 3 Clicks: Adjust Alert Distance - Cycles through alert distance settings (e.g., 1 beep for near, 5 beeps for far). The default alert distance is approximately 50-150 feet and cannot be adjusted to very short distances like 10 feet.
• 4 Clicks: Change Alert Tune - Cycles through available alert sounds.
• 5 Clicks + Hold: Home / Travel Mode - Toggles between modes that might adjust sensitivity or alert behavior for different environments.
• Hold Button: Nap Mode - Puts the device into a temporary sleep mode, preventing alerts for a set duration (e.g., 15m, 30m, 1hr, 2hr).

Maintenance

Battery Replacement

To replace the battery:

1. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the device.
2. Carefully open the compartment using a small coin or screwdriver.
3. Remove the old CR2032 battery.
4. Insert a new CR2032 battery with the positive (+) side facing up.
