== '''''<span lang="en" dir="ltr">Multi-purpose control button</span>''''' ==
<span lang="en" dir="ltr">The Windbird has a single button for starting, stopping and calibrating.</span>

<span lang="en" dir="ltr">The multi-purpose button is located on the underside of the device. It can be pressed with the tip of a pen.</span>

<span lang="en" dir="ltr">The length of time the multi-purpose button is pressed determines the action performed:</span>

<span lang="en" dir="ltr">Short press -> Start or Stop Windbird</span>

<span lang="en" dir="ltr">Press for 10 seconds -> Start calibration</span>

<span lang="en" dir="ltr">An LED lamp is located next to the button, flashing according to the Windbird's status.</span>

== '''''<span lang="en" dir="ltr">Windbird calibration</span>''''' ==
<span lang="en" dir="ltr">When using Windbird for the first time, or if you find that it is giving you the wrong direction, it is necessary to calibrate the Windbird :</span>

* <span lang="en" dir="ltr">Switch on Windbird</span>
* <span lang="en" dir="ltr">Press and hold the button until the LED starts flashing rapidly (approx. 10 seconds).</span>
* <span lang="en" dir="ltr">The LED flashes for 5 seconds, to give you time to prepare for calibration.</span>
* <span lang="en" dir="ltr">When the LED becomes steady, calibration begins. Rotate Windbird around its axis until the LED goes out (approx. 15 seconds). The aim is to make at least 3 turns. For the wind vane to work properly, Windbird's axis must always be as vertical as possible throughout the calibration process. The Windbird works with a compass. It may be affected by strong magnetic fields (e.g. near power lines or base stations).</span>

== '''''Start''''' ==


Briefly press the button. The LED lights up steadily for a few seconds to confirm device start-up.

About 10 seconds later, your Windbird should appear "online" on the website or mobile application.

The first measurements and position will be transmitted about fifteen minutes after switching on. This may take a little longer if GPS reception is poor.

The LED may light up, but Windbird may not appear online, even after 30 seconds. This means that Windbird is not receiving the Sigfox network in that area. Try again at another location.

== '''''Stop''''' ==
<span lang="en" dir="ltr">- When your Windbird is switched on, briefly press the button. The LED will flash 5 times to indicate shutdown.</span>

<span lang="en" dir="ltr">Around 10 seconds after shutdown, Windbird should appear "offline" on the website or mobile app.</span><span lang="en" dir="ltr">     </span>
