The In-Home Beacon function does not support Bluetooth connectivity, data transmission or
other functions. In addition, meter Bluetooth cannot be searched.
5. The purpose of the alternate equipment PPM 360 Collector is to replace the meter
Machine-to-Machine Data Transfer cellular technology with an alternate data transfer
method, in areas where cellular technology is not available. The PPM 360 Collector is not
normally provided to a panelist. As of the time when this User Manual is written, the only
country where the PPM 360 Collector is provided is Canada. However, if the PPM 360
Collector is provided to a panelist, the specific PPM 360 Meter provided to the panelist is
specially configured by software to enable communication with the specific PPM 360
Collector provided to the panelist. In this case, Bluetooth connectivity, Bluetooth data
transmission and other Bluetooth functions are enabled between the PPM 360 Meter and the
specific PPM 360 Collector, and only between these two devices.
