* Sensor is located inside the plastic housing, which limits real time measurement of the ambient temperature.
** Read ranges are measured in laboratory environment and there can be some variation in real application.
*** Beacon lifetime in nominal mode is optimized for long term use, and is highly affected by operating mode parameters and ambient temperature. Configured TX power level and advertisement interval have influence on lifetime.
