# Off-Season Hardware Storage \[for resorts keeping hardware onsite]

In the instance that flaik requests your resort to store some or all of its issued hardware onsite for the off-season, we will request the following procedures take place for inventory and proper storage.

## Tags

1. Utilizing one of your flaik scanners, through the flaik scanner app, [follow these directions](/flaik-knowledge-base/for-hardware-specialists/gps-tags/inventory-scan.md) to capture an accurate inventory of your tags and submit it to flaik for review.
2. Isolate any obvious issue tags (failed BIST that will not reset, not charging, etc.) and mark them accordingly for flaik to review at the next resort visit.
3. Power down and store all tags and docks in a secure location following [these directions](https://knowledgebase.flaik.com/flaik-knowledge-base/hardware-scanners-and-gps-tags/gps-tags/troubleshooting/power-cycle-a-flaik-tag)[.  ](/flaik-knowledge-base/for-hardware-specialists/gps-tags/troubleshooting/power-cycle-a-flaik-tag.md)*(Please note a couple of known issues when you go through this process, one being outlined in the article with a burnt orange "!" and the other being that there will be a few tags that will power themselves back on automatically.  All tags that power themselves back on automatically can be left in that state for storage and eventually, the battery will deplete.  This is a known hardware issue.)*

## Scanners

1. Power down all scanners and securely store them, ideally with the flaik tags and/or in a locked cabinet.
2. Unplug all scanner charging bases and store them with the other hardware.

{% hint style="success" %}
It's best practice to store everything in one central location so it's easily found/assessed at the beginning of the following season.  We encourage a locked space or a space that will not have off-season access by other resort employees/guests to prevent tampering or theft.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledgebase.flaik.com/flaik-knowledge-base/for-hardware-specialists/shipping-and-receiving/off-season-hardware-storage-for-resorts-keeping-hardware-onsite.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
