* Battery life estimates are influenced by several factors including scan range, scan steps, BLE advertising power, BLE advertising interval, battery selection and more. Battery life calculators are available at support.digitalmatter.com.

** Estimates are based on 2 seconds advertisement windows, 8dB advertisement power, scanning for objects starting 1m from the PCB and ending 4m from the PCB. Devices can be configured to scan larger distances with high resolution more frequently which will negatively impact battery life estimates.
