Power Supply And Battery - Juniper Geode GNS3 User Manual

2.12 Power Supply and Battery

The Geode comes with a 15 W, 100-240 V AC universal USB
power supply with adapters for the US, UK, and EU. AU/NZ
adapters are supplied separately.
The Geode also comes with two USB cables:
■ USB-C to USB-C: Recommended for use as a primary
charging cable. Use this when the device is powered on
and charging at the same time. This cable can also be
used for data transfer.
■ USB-A to USB-C: Legacy cable used for charging when
the receiver is powered off.
The supplied US, UK, or EU adapter can be used with either
cable.
The Geode has an internal, non-removable battery that can
provide 10+ hours (up to 16 hours for the GNS3S) of use. The
battery may require as much as six hours to charge before
the first use. Subsequent charges should take four hours or
less, depending on the remaining power. Before storing the
Geode for any amount of time, ensure the battery is fully
charged.
To charge the Geode in the field, use the included USB
cable and a vehicle USB adapter to plug the Geode into a
vehicle's 12 V power port. For best results, use an adapter
that is rated at least 10 Watt/2.1 Amp.
Charging the Geode by connecting it to a battery-powered
PC or handheld device is not recommended. Most of these
devices do not have enough power to charge the Geode.
If the Geode detects it is connected to a battery with
insufficient power, it will not charge. The red light will flash
rapidly indicating that the Geode is not charging. If you
connect the Geode to a device via USB for data transfer,
the red light may still flash rapidly to let you know that the
battery isn't charging. This does not affect the data transfer.
!
CAUTION: The Geode needs to be charged at least once a
month. If the battery drains completely, it may not recover,
and your Geode will need to be sent in to Juniper Systems
for a battery replacement.
