This chapter provides you with valuable information about your portable Entourage PS device.
Charging
While waiting for your Entourage PS to be activated, begin charging its internal battery:
1.

Plug the charger's DC plug into the Entourage PS

3.
Charge for 5 hours

NOTE: It is acceptable to leave your Entourage PS plugged in and charging for longer than 5 hours.
NOTE: For additional convenience, your Entourage PS comes equipped with a vehicle charger cable for charging on
the go. Charging from your vehicle is the same process as using the wall charger.
Battery life
A full battery charge will provide up to 7 days of operation depending upon the number of locations retrieved from
Entourage PS. Fewer or infrequent location requests will result in a longer battery life. Frequent location requests,
either manually or via the location scheduler, will reduce the battery life. Aggressive location requests may reduce the
battery life to 3 to 4 days.

Entourage PS. A hardwiring cable may be installed in more than one vehicle to retain portability while keeping a full
battery charge.
