1. A wearable article, comprising:
an electronics module holder arranged to hold an electronics module; and
a visual marker located on an outside surface of the wearable article, the visual marker being located at a position corresponding to the electronics module holder;
wherein the electronics module comprises:
a housing;
a processor disposed within the housing;
a first communicator connected to the processor, wherein the first communicator is associated with a first communications protocol; and
a second communicator connected to the processor, wherein the second communicator is associated with a second communications protocol; and
a sensor disposed within the housing, the sensor being arranged to detect a device being brought into proximity with the electronics module,
wherein the visual marker is configured to indicate the location of the sensor of the electronics module when positioned in the electronics module holder such that the device being brought into a vicinity of the visual marker is detectable by the sensor of the electronics module, and
wherein the sensor is arranged to generate a signal in response to the detecting of the device being brought into proximity with the electronics module, wherein the processor is arranged to receive the signal generated by the sensor and is arranged to, in response to receiving the signal:
cause the first communicator to transmit data to the device using the first communication protocol; and
cause the second communicator to establish communications between the electronics module and the device using the second communication protocol, wherein the communications using the second communication protocol is established based on the data transmitted using the first communications protocol.
