Zusammenfassung:A short-range wireless device (30) includes a short-range data transmission component (38) transmitting data at a first signal strength. A movement detection device (40) provides an indication that a work tool (26) supporting the short-range wireless device (30) is in a coupled configuration with a machine (10), or is intended to be coupled with the machine (10). A processor (32) reduces the first signal strength to a second signal strength in response to the indication. The short-range data transmission component (38) then transmits data at the second signal strength.
