POWER
Batteries
The device can be employed for up to 600 full opening and closing cycles from a single charge of a set of 800mAh
batteries. The number of open and close cycles achieved will vary depending on battery age and device use. After
one set is drained, the batteries can be easily swapped to the back-up set.
Batteries are placed into the battery case on the wristband, where they are secured by the holding catch located
towards the wrist. Release the holding catch to remove the battery (Fig. 3).
Each battery is equipped with an LED indicating the charge level of the battery. When the battery charge level is low,
the LED will light up red. The LED will stay lit until the battery has been charged to an adequate level.
Charging the Batteries
Charging time: 90 minutes to 3 hours.
Remove the batteries from the wristband and insert into the charger base unit. Connect the charger base unit with
the power cable. Plug the power cable into the power outlet.
The charging state is indicated on the back of the base unit (Fig. 4):
– Middle light on: Charger is plugged in.
– 2nd and 5th lights flashing green: batteries are charging.
