Applies to AirBolt Lock and AirBolt Card Products Only.
Proximity alerts work based on Bluetooth signal strength, not a fixed physical distance. Because Bluetooth signals can be affected by interference and your surroundings, distance alone is not a reliable measurement.
High Sensitivity
Triggers when the signal strength reaches approximately:
3 pink bars on the AirBolt Lock
6 pink bars on the AirBolt Card
Low Sensitivity
Triggers when the signal strength reaches approximately:
2 pink bars on the AirBolt Lock
3 pink bars on the AirBolt Card
Out of Range
This alert triggers when your AirBolt disconnects from your phone after moving out of Bluetooth range.
You can use the slider to set a delay before the alert activates. For example, if you select 10 seconds, the alert will trigger only after your AirBolt has remained out of range for approximately 10 seconds.
Recommended Setting
We recommend starting with Low Sensitivity or Out of Range mode.
Bluetooth range and signal strength can vary depending on your surroundings, obstacles, interference and your phone's Bluetooth antenna. If Low Sensitivity does not provide the response you want, you can try High Sensitivity mode.
When an Alert Triggers
To stop the AirBolt from ringing, press the right button on the AirBolt. You can also select Snooze in the AirBolt app.
Note: If you move away from and then back towards your AirBolt quickly, the alert may occasionally trigger even when the AirBolt is nearby. This is because the system measures signal strength over a short period of time to help reduce false alerts caused by normal Bluetooth signal fluctuations.
For Proximity and Separation Alerts to work, the AirBolt app must remain running in the background and have the required Bluetooth and background permissions enabled.
