Abstract: A method for modifying a repeat interval of a locator beacon is described. The method includes transmitting repeatedly, by a beacon transmitter, a first advertising beacon signal through a first number of transmission repetitions spaced at a first repeat interval. The method further includes transmitting repeatedly, by the beacon transmitter, a second advertising beacon signal through a second number of transmission repetitions at a second repeat interval, wherein the second advertising beacon signal includes an identifier that provides identification of the beacon transmitter and user information. The method further includes receiving a modification instruction from a user device. The modification instruction is configured to modify the first repeat interval into a third repeat interval. The method also includes transmitting repeatedly, by a beacon transmitter, the first beacon signal through the first number of transmission repetitions spaced at the third repeat interval.

Abstract: Systems and methods for establishing a wireless connection using a connection identifier. The systems include a dust extractor and a power tool. The dust extractor includes an extractor electronic processor. The power tool includes a tool electronic processor. The extractor electronic processor is configured to: broadcast a connection advertisement; establish the wireless connection with a power tool when the connection advertisement is received; receive a request for the connection identifier; and provide a response including the connection identifier; provide a first indication of a successful wireless connection. The tool electronic processor is configured to: search for the connection advertisement broadcast from the dust extractor; establish the wireless connection with the dust extractor when the connection advertisement is received; provide the request for the connection identifier to the dust extractor; receive the response from the dust extractor; and provide a second indication of the successful wireless connection.
