14 Appendix – NFC Application
The Cockatoo is shipped in a low power stand-by mode, known as FLIGHT mode. In this
mode the satellite radio is disabled to conserve battery and render the device safe for
transport in air cargo.
To activate the Cockatoo an NFC enabled smartphone running a free NFC App is required.
Prior to arriving at site please install an NFC reader App such as one below or similar.
• Android App – link is here NFC Tools*

The activation process is very straightforward. Once the Cockatoo is installed it requires a
single NFC “tap” (similar to a tap and go payment) to reboot the device. On reboot the
Cockatoo will check that the sensor is connected, (if a satellite variant it will update its location
using its internal GPS receiver) and transition to OPERATIONAL mode, where it will
commence taking sensor readings and transmitting data.
Checking the Status of the Cockatoo
1. Download and install an NFC reader app, such as the examples above.
2. Confirm NFC App is functional.
3. Ensure the sensor cable is properly connected the Cockatoo and tight. Without a properly
connected sensor cable, the Cockatoo will stay in FLIGHT mode (and will not wake up).
4. Open your NFC app on the mobile phone, select READ and then Tap the phone over the
letter “a” on the Taggle logo on the Cockatoo, as per below. You should be presented with
a dialog box and a tick symbol. This indicates a successful NFC interaction with the
Cockatoo.
5. Proceed to the information screen and review the status and condition of the Cockatoo.
