  3. In the Update sensor section you can edit these settings:
    1. Tracker: select a tracker you want to link the sensor to.
    2. Channel for first slot: select the data channel you want to use (it is recommended is to start with slot 1).
    3. Channel for second slot: If your external sensor has more than one sensor (for example temperature and humidity) you select a second data channel for the other sensor information.
    4. Click Update.
      Now your sensor is attached to the selected tracker

Results

Note: If you receive the device slot(s) are in use error message you must select another tracker. If all slots are in use this means the sensor cannot be linked to this tracker anymore.
Note: If you get the BLE is not enabled on tracker error message a remote setting will be pushed to the tracker to activate the BLE function because BLE should be enabled on the tracker to be able to communicate to the sensor. Normally this setting should be automatically enabled after 48 hours.
