Since the T3 can safely be charged after each use, a docking station is included for convenience. If left out of the docking station, the T3 will remain in sleep mode for 1 – 2 months before shutting down. At that point the battery must be recharged.
During normal use the T3 turns-on instantly from its sleep mode. The T3 is turned-on by touching any area of the display or any keypad button. If the tilt sensor is enabled, picking up the unit will also turn it on.
