Note: Only Company Owners or Admins can check the battery of a Location Beacon.

The Location Beacon battery can only be read via the Web Portal or Mobile App, unfortunately there's no indicator on the beacon itself. The battery is reported to our servers via the Lone Worker Device whenever it's detected in the nearby vicinity.

The beacon uses a CR2477 battery and should last up to 2 years. We recommend periodically inspecting the battery via the Web Portal or Mobile App to see if they need replacement.


Via the Web Portal

  1. Make sure you are logged into the Web Portal

  2. Click 'Settings' in the left hand side bar

  3. Click 'Beacons'

  4. Find the beacon you're interested in

  5. Under the 'Status' column, there will be a battery icon. Hover over it for the percentage, charging state, and the last time it was updated.

Via the Mobile App

  1. Open the Safepoint app

  2. Tap the menu button in the top left corner

  3. Tap 'Beacons'

  4. Find the beacon and tap it

  5. Under 'Battery', you will see the battery state.
