## Hardware Compatibility

gebioMized has released several generations of transmitter hardware over the years. Only the latest BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) transmitter is compatible with the upcoming Velogic Studio integration.

### Transmitter Generations

| Generation        | Ports/Features             | Velogic Compatible | Notes                                                           |
| ----------------- | -------------------------- | :----------------: | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| BT-box (Ethernet) | Ethernet ports             |          ❌         | Superseded by WiFi in 2016                                      |
| WiFi Transmitter  | Jack plug beside mat port  |          ❌         | May have black or original housing. Superseded by BLE from 2023 |

### Identifying Your Transmitter

To determine which transmitter you have, look at the ports on the device:

* **USB-C port** next to the mat port → BLE Transmitter (compatible)
* **Jack plug (3.5mm audio-style connector)** next to the mat port → WiFi Transmitter (not compatible)
* **Ethernet ports** → BT-box (not compatible)

If you have an older transmitter and wish to use the Velogic Studio integration, please contact gebioMized about upgrading to the BLE transmitter.

## Important Notes

### Battery Management

* Battery life is typically several weeks/months thanks to Bluetooth low-energy technology
* The device automatically switches to deep sleep mode when not in use to conserve power
* It is not necessary to switch off the device - it has extremely low power consumption in sleep mode
* **Do not switch off the device by removing the battery**
* Optimal battery capacity is between 40-80% - constant charging to 100% is not necessary
* This applies even if the device is not used for several weeks

### Battery Replacement

* Only use rechargeable batteries of type **16340 RC123A**
* Contact the manufacturer if you wish to replace the battery
