Is it necessary to measure everything manually in detail to
set-up the beacons at precise locations?
No.ItisliketheGPS:youdon’tneedtoknowtheposition
of each satellites, it is automatic. Just put the 3 micro-
beacons somewhere around your playground, switch
themon,andyouaredone.
Is it an issue if I go outside the area set-up by the beacons?
No.Youcangooutsidetheareasetupbythebeacons
andstillbeframed.Andofcourseifyouaregoingtoofar
thecamerawillloseyou,anditwillndyouagainwhen
youcomeback.

inches(afewcentimeters)awayfromthemetal.

technologicalproduct.Thethreebeaconsareusedby
the watch to calculate 10timespersecondtheposition
of the robot which explains exactly why you need the

How long does the beacon battery last?
What if I need to lm for a longer period?
Thebeaconsbatterylastsabout3hours.Ifyoustillneed
moretimetolm,youcanalwaysuseapowerbank(not

that’sit!
What are the maximum and minimum operating
temperatures?
As any electronic devices, PIXIO operation is not
guaranteedattemperaturesbelow0°Cortemperatures
above 40°C. In real life we have many customers using
PIXIOsincemorethanoneyearincoldcountries,Canada,
Sweden, Iceland, Norway, Finland etc., and they never
had any problem in cold weather. And in our lab we
testedPIXIOat-18°C.
Batteries usually have less autonomy in the cold, this is
probablythemainconsequence.
