#Ridgid octane battery tracker update#

Changing the battery is super easy, twist the top of the Tick to the left and pop out the CR2032 3V coin battery and replace with a new one. The batteries are said to last about 1 year and there is a battery life % shown on the tool status screen. Once the phone and Tick have syncвЂ™d the tool picture, tool info, category, service information, etc can be recorded and saved. To add a Tick, I selected nearby devices, add a Tick, removed the battery from the Tick to be connected for 10 seconds, replaced the battery and put the tick by my phone.

I installed the Milwaukee One-Key App from the playstore and set up my account. ItвЂ™s more for inventory control and seeing where tools/equipment were last located.

The Tick runs off of bluetooth and will only update if it comes into bluetooth signal range (about 100 feet) of a phone with the One-Key app installed and Running/Sleeping. One accessory in the One-Key line up is the Milwaukee Tick tool and equipment tracker.Д«efore we get going, we need to establish that this product isnвЂ™t a GPS locator and itвЂ™s not really meant to find stolen tools/equipment. Milwaukee has started putting One-Key bluetooth technology inside of their tools to help you track tools and even control your tools with an app! Borrowed your Milwaukee drillВ out to your neighbor and they keep вЂforgettingвЂ™ to bring it back, no problem just turn the batteryВ off with your app. One technology that I foundВ particularly neat is the One-Key by Milwaukee. At the event a group of tool lovers, like myself, and media were shown the up and coming tools and tool technology being released this year by major tool brands.
