check without exiting the group check mode. By default, it is disabled and can be enabled in the PIEPS APP device
manager.

4.5 HELPFUL PIEPS BACKGROUND FEATURES
Maximum background support in send mode and search mode!
4.5.1 PIEPS interference protection
•
PIEPS Auto-Antenna-Switch | protection in send mode
If the transmitting antenna is impacted by external interference, the other antenna would take over the
transmit function. The PIEPS PRO BT/POWDER BT always transmits with the strongest possible signal!
•
PIEPS Signal Verification | protection in search mode
Only a verified 457kHz signal is indicated. The PIEPS PRO BT/POWDER BT doesn´t confuse with ghost
signal indication!
External interference and distance recommendations
All beacons are very sensitive to electrical and magnetic sources of interference. Due to this, all manufacturers
recommend keeping a minimum distance from electronic, magnetic and metallic sources of interference (mobile
phone, radio, keys, magnetic closures, etc.):
Minimum distance in send mode: 20 cm | Minimum distance in search mode: 50 cm
