CHARGE YOUR WI-FI HOTSPOT
Connect your charger. Your device uses a USB C charging port. Insert the lead carefully into the
charging port. Be careful not to pull sharply on the lead or trip over it when it is plugged in. Always
insert and remove with care as physical damage is not covered by your warranty.
Only use the genuine charger and USB C lead provided. Use of third party adaptors can damage your
device.
Typical charging time is 3-4 hours using the standard charger. Charging from a USB source (ie laptop)
will take longer.
During periods of high continuous activity with multiple users, high download rates or low network
signal, charging by USB will not have sufficient current to charge the device. In this situation the
battery will discharge so it is preferable to use the mains charger.
Always insert and remove the charging lead with care and take care not to trip or pull on the lead
harshly which could damage your device.
Physical damage to the charging port is not covered by warranty.
If the device is off while charging, press the power key as normal to switch on the device.
The device can be left always on and connected to the charger but after 16 hours of continuous
charging the device will switch to charge protection mode and the battery will drop to 65% capacity.
This is to protect the battery from over-charging. If you wish to charge to 100% remove and re-insert
the charging lead then stop charging the device when it reaches 100%.
During periods of high continuous activity, high download rates or low network signal it is normal for
the device to get hot.
If the internal temperature of the device exceeds 45C then the battery cannot be charged due to
safety limitations with Li-ion batteries.
