About the battery
The Wireless Force-Acceleration Sensor’s battery is partially
charged at the factory. If the battery status LED blinks red, use
the micro USB cable to connect the sensor to a USB port or
USB charger.
Maximizing battery life
Two factors that affect battery life are the storage temperature
and the number of charge cycles. Therefore, to maximize battery
life, avoid storing the sensor in very cold or very hot
environments, and disconnect the sensor from its charger once
it has been fully charged.
Troubleshooting
• If the Wireless Force-Acceleration Sensor loses Bluetooth
connection and will not reconnect, try cycling the ON
button. Press and briefly hold the button until the LEDs
blink in sequence, then release the button. Start the sensor
in the usual way.
• If the sensor stops communicating with the computer
software or tablet application, try restarting the software or
application. If the problem persists, press and hold the ON
button for 10 seconds, then release the button and start the
sensor in the usual way.
• If the previous steps do not fix a connection problem, turn
Bluetooth off and then back on for your computer or tablet,
then retry.
