Factory sleep mode is a default mode that the device uses. In this mode, all components are shut-down as much as possible and MCU is put into the deepest possible sleep state. The current draw is reduced to a minimum so this is the preferred mode to use when the tag is not used to maximize battery life. To exit this mode a reed switch is used. If it’s active for 3-10 seconds, the factory sleep mode will be deactivated and MCU will enter Advertising mode.

In advertising mode, the tag will broadcast information about itself in Bluetooth advertising packets. By default, the MikroTik advertisement is sent once every 5 seconds. This can be changed in the Configuration mode.

Configuration mode can only be entered from advertising mode by applying a magnetic field to the same reed switch that was used for exiting factory sleep. When the reed switch is active for 5-10 seconds configuration mode will be entered. Otherwise, MCU will go back into advertising mode.
