Setup the LoRaWAN® sensor device for use.
Step 1 - Prepare your LoRaWAN® Device
Getting your device ready is easy. Just insert the battery, and you’re all set. No extra setup is needed. When you’ve put in the battery, make sure your LoRaWAN® device is sending data. If the blue LED blinks, that means your device is transmitting data. As simple as that!*

To confirm that the device is transmitting data, watch for the BLUE LED inside the casing. It should light up approximately every 20 seconds. If it does, this indicates both data transmission and a functional battery. Refer to the image below to locate the LED.
*The blinking of the blue LED indicates data transmission from the device. However, it doesn’t guarantee that the LoRaWAN® packets have successfully arrived at TPC.
