USING YOUR LEA SYSTEM UNDERSTANDING RANGE The LEA Hub has a typical wireless range of up to 150 feet when there is clear “Line of Sight” or simply LoS. In general terms that means there are no physical obstructions between the transmitting device (in this case, Lifeguard Tags) and the receiving device (in this case, the LEA Hub).

Move the unit inside or under cover during extreme or inclement weather. TESTING THE LEA SYSTEM BEFORE USING In most instances where you decide to place your LEA Hub out of convenience will likely work. However it may be necessary to relocate the unit to a better spot to insure complete coverage of the water.

NOTE: If there are areas in the water that cause a false Entry Alert, it is then necessary to find an alternative location for the LEA Hub or address any object(s) that may be causing the issue. If the system is moved repeat the above test until you are completely confident that the entire swim area is fully covered.
TROUBLESHOOTING System does not power on. Confirm that you followed the steps in POWERING AND CHARGING YOUR LEA Hub section. If the Hub determines that its batteries are too low it may automatically power down the system to protect the batteries and electronics.

Scan the water to make sure that no Lifeguard Tag is fully submerged in the water. Use the LEA Management app to determine which Tag, if any, is appearing in the Entry Alert Event page. If a Tag appears in the list the alert may be because the Tag is out of range, has a low battery, or is in a location where its radio signals are being blocked by an obstruction.
