Unfortunately, we cannot change the volume of the K-IP. Very efficient outdoors but a bit noisy indoors, you can reduce the volume considerably by placing a finger on the sound output. You will be less surprised ;).
Yes, the K-IP works at sea, on the nearby coastline, up to more than 5 km! To visualise in detail the coverage of the K-IP on this area, look at our coverage model here. The simulations take into account a K-IP placed 1 meter above sea level. To ensure the dispersion of the radio…
The K-IP has the enormous advantage of being usable despite the absence of a network: it was actually designed for these environments! Wherever you are, with or without network coverage, the rescue teams connect directly to your K-IP via their dedicated equipment. This means that you can be quickly located and retrieved, anywhere. This specific…
Yes, all distress alerts are relayed to all of the K-IPs in the vicinity. This is convenient when the alert is issued in an area without a network since the relay K-IPs will automatically transmit the reported alerts as soon as they are back in an area with coverage. Please note that the K-IPPERs around…
You want to take the K-IP on new aventures ? No problem, it will follow you everywhere in the European Community* 🇪🇺 ! For the rest of the world, you will have to wait for the next set of updates, which will allow the K-IP to communicate on the right frequencies. The specifications and…
NOTHING 😉 Continue to enjoy the outdoors as you wish and above all, do not turn off your K-IP. It continues to communicate using the other networks that are present. Also, do not turn off the K-IP app, do not logout of your account, and do not stop your outing trying to restart the process.…
When your K-IP is in DISTRESS ALERT mode, its LED flashes red three times in a row. This LED color (red) and flashing repetition (3 times) are only used during the DISTRESS mode, which is not the case in any other mode. 😉
Your K-IP flashes RED and 3 times when it is in a distress alert is activated. This rhythm (flashing 3 times) is dedicated to the alert mode, and is not present on any other light code mode, regardless of color. 😉
When you go out without your phone, your K-IP relies on its capacity to communicate on LoRa and SigFox networks. When used with your phone, in addition to the other networks, the K-IP uses your phone’s GSM network.The frequencies of emissions on all these networks are as follows: Emission on the LoRa radio network: every…
The K-IP beacon indicates its autonomy capacity as best it can, depending on the conditions to which it is subjected. Its percentage of charge can go up or down without charging. This is related to the external temperature conditions. The battery does not hold the same charge when it is in an environment at…
