Introduction
The LA-490 Listen Bluetooth/IR Beacon (the ‘Beacon’) is a small, battery-powered or
USB powered device that transmits a Bluetooth™ low-energy (BLE) and/or Infrared (IR)
signal that can be detected by other devices (e.g., receivers, smartphones or other
devices capable of receiving the signal) to trigger audio or events by the receiving
device in a variety of applications. This includes applications such as Training and
Collaboration, Assistive Listening, Guided Tour Groups, Language
Interpretation/Translation, Event Production and Intercom.
The Beacon works by periodically waking up, transmitting this signal via short-range
radio (BLE and/or IR) and then returning to a low-power state. The Beacon has no user
interface (UI), cellular or GPS capabilities. The Beacon’s identity is encoded within the
signal it transmits and includes a sub-segment device type.
This product can be used for residential or commercial purposes. It is considered
improper use when used for any application not named above. Listen Technologies
does not accept liability for damage arising from improper use or misuse of this
product and its attachments/accessories. Before putting the products into operation,
please observe the respective country-specific regulations.
