BATTERY & RECHARGING

CHARGING YOUR DEVICE

Using your device for the first time
When you receive your Mobile alarm it will
probably have a fair amount of charge. You
may wish to charge it up though in the
charging station for 60 minutes before
using it.
How long it takes to recharge
The battery should only take around 60
minutes to fully charge if it is very low. A full
charge can last up to 4 - 5 days depending
on use. The Mobile alarm will warn you
when it needs to be recharged.
Low battery warning
The device has the ability to send out a low
battery warning via text to the first
emergency contact. Usually, this feature is
turned on unless you asked us to turn it off
during the setup. When the battery level in
the device falls to around 20% it
will vibrate and a voice will warn you
"Battery is low! Please recharge your
battery" and will also send a low battery text
message to the first emergency
contact at 15% charge.
To turn the low battery warning off send text:
123456LOW0
To turn the low battery warning on send text:
123456LOW1,20
In this example the low battery warnings occur at the
default of 20% charge.
The device will reply with a confirmation
text that the low warning has been changed.
When is the battery fully charged?
When the battery is fully charged the red
light on the charging station will fade to a
dull glow. You can also check by texting the
command: 123456battery
Charging via the Magnetic USB cable
(optional)
You can recharge the device by attaching
the magnetic USB cable to the four
charging contacts on the rear of the
pendant. A voice warning will announce
"Your mobile alarm is charging"
when the magnetic charger is attached
correctly.
Automatically comes on when charging
If the device is off, placing it in the charging
station will turn it on.
Turning it off to save power
We do not advise the wearer to turn the
device off to save power! The device does
not need to be turned off. If you are not
wearing it, place it in the charging station.
It can be left in there indefinitely.
Power saving mode
We have set your device to 'Power Saving
mode' in order to prolong the time between
charges. This means that the GPS function
goes to sleep when the device has not
detected any movement for around 10
seconds. Without this mode, the GPS
would be constantly trying to get a GPS fix
and the battery would run down quicker. In
power-saving mode, the device will attempt
to obtain location via Bluetooth and/or wifi.
Using other chargers
To be safe only use the power adapter
supplied with your Mobile alarm. Other
adapters may damage the device and void
your warranty.
