Using your Bearables badge
Press the multi-functional button on your badge briefly to cycle through the light patterns. Each of the
LEDs will light to indicate which of the 12 patterns is currently selected. Press and hold the button to
put your badge into sleep mode.
The nifty design of the badges and sensors means that it's super-simple to connect them. It doesn't
matter which way round they're connected. Just connect one hook on the badge to one hook on the
sensor with conductive thread, then do the same with the other two hooks.
Once a sensor is connected, press and hold the multi-functional button to put your badge into trigger
mode. Now when you trigger the sensor, the LED lights on your badge will light up.
Notes
Bearables badges and sensors are not waterproof or washable
Be aware that conductive thread is sharp!
Ensure that the two pieces of conductive thread connecting your Bearables badge and sensor do
not touch, bearing (pun intended) in mind that they may touch when the fabric is creased or
folded. Nothing bad will happen, the sensor just won't work as it should.
The hooks on the back can be shorted without any damage to the badge, although it may trigger
the LEDs similar to triggering them with a sensor. A painted or coated safety pin will work better
than a bare metal one.
A dab of clear nail varnish on the conductive thread around the hook can help to give a better,
more reliable connection
