      ONE-KEY™ Bluetooth® Card Explainer: Connectivity Delivering Compatibility & Flexibility

      The One-Key Bluetooth Card delivers connectivity needed for end users looking to manage their equipment with greater flexibility.

      End users now have more control over how they manage equipment as their business and connectivity needs change.

      This can be achieved through the new One-Key Bluetooth Card.

      In this article, we discuss:

      What Is a One-Key Card?

      The One-Key Bluetooth Card is a new IoT accessory that brings you the digital experience of One-Key compatible products today while being flexible to your connectivity needs over the life of your equipment.

      The One-Key Bluetooth Card delivers the following to enhance your connected experience:

      • Compatibility –One-Key Card (OKC) tools are compatible with the existing One-Key network and bring the same digital location and asset management experience you know with other One-Key tools today.
      • Flexibility – The user-accessibility of the One-Key Card gives you increased flexibility in your connected needs by enabling self-service, replacement, or removal of the card as necessary.
      • Security – Once added to your inventory in the One-Key app, the installed OKC is digitally paired to your tool. After this, if the card is removed, your product will enter an automatic security lockout to prevent unauthorized use while connectivity is disabled. Functionality can be restored by reinserting the One-Key Card.

      Note: If you wish to purposely remove the card and continue to operate the tool after it has been added to your inventory, you must first unpair your One-Key Card from the tool (process explained below).

      The One-Key Bluetooth Card comes installed in all One-Key Card tools today.

      How to Add a One-Key Card Product to your Inventory?

       Similar to other One-Key compatible products, the tool or equipment must be added to your digital inventory to activate the tracking and security features of the One-Key platform.

      To add a new asset with a One-Key Bluetooth card to inventory:

      • Open the One-Key app with your One-Key Card product nearby.
      • From the Inventory Dashboard, select the Add to Inventory icon in the top right corner of the screen.
      • Identify your product from the dropdown of nearby items.
      • Tap the “Add” button on the right side of the item card.
      • A green checkmark will appear to indicate a successful “Add” to inventory.
      • This process pairs your tool to the installed OKC. You can now track and manage this equipment just like other One-Key tools in your fleet.

        Replacing a One-Key Bluetooth Card

        Should you need to replace the One-Key Bluetooth Card in your product for any reason, you can order a replacement part by calling 1-800-SAWDUST or visiting a Milwaukee Factory Service Center. Once you have the new card in hand, you can follow the steps below to install it yourself and restore connectivity to your equipment.

        In this section, we’ll discuss:

        1. Unpairing a One-Key Card

        Unpairing the One-Key Card allows you to remove it from your equipment without putting your asset into a security lockout. To unpair a Bluetooth Card from the asset it’s been paired with in inventory:

        • Locate the tool from the “My Inventory” page or “Nearby Devices”
        • Connect to the tool
        • Select “Tool Details”. On this screen there will be a button labeled “Unpair” next to the “One-Key Card” field
        • Tap “Unpair” to disassociate the asset from its One-Key Bluetooth Card.
        • An alert message will appear asking whether you’re sure you want to unpair your One-Key card. Tap “Remove” to unpair. A success screen will display to confirm a successfully unpaired One-Key Bluetooth Card. The card can now be removed from the tool.

                  Important: You should first unpair a One-Key Bluetooth Card with the asset it’s paired with; if the card is still paired when removed, the item will enter a security lockout. It can be unlocked by reinserting the paired card or pairing a new card to the equipment.

        2.  Physically Replacing your One-Key Card

         The location of the One-Key Card in your equipment can be identified by a small cover with an etched ONE-KEY™ logo. After locating the card port, the One-Key Card can be removed and replaced by following the steps below.

        • Remove the battery pack from the equipment.
        • Remove the screws from the card cover and pull the cover away.
        • Remove the card from the exposed port.
        • Insert the new ONE-KEY™ card in the same orientation.
        • Replace the cover and screws, tightening securely. The new card can now be digitally paired to the equipment.

        3. Pairing a new One-Key Card

        To finish the replacement process and begin tracking with the new One-Key Card, it must be paired to the equipment.

        • Open the One-Key app and find your tool from “My Inventory” or “Nearby Devices”
        • Connect to the equipment.
        • Hit the “Pair” Button next to “Pair One-Key Card”. Once the confirmation appears, the new card is now paired to your equipment and can be tracked in One-Key.

        Note:

        If you are unable to unpair your old One-Key Card before replacing it, you can unlock your equipment and restore tracking capability by following the steps below:

        • Tap “Pair” to pair the new card to your asset. “Tool lock” will show locked in the app. Tap the “Tool Lock” slider to unlock the equipment.
