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