# Mode-Independent Information And Events

There is NO possibility for the device to **NOT** be in a mode. 

The factory default mode is the basic Press me (0x01). That being said, there are many mode-independent settings that can help you fine-tune the desired behavior of the device. Ranging from periodical (time-triggered) events such as Heartbeats to events triggered by hardware sensors that you can receive in any mode, this section will illuminate everything you need to know about **mode-independent events**.
