Display
The STARwatch band has an illuminated display that provides status indicators to
both device administrators and subjects. When the band is docked the display has a
landscape orientation and off the dock it has a portrait orientation.
Touch
Users can toggle display modes of the STARwatch band using the touch interface on
the front face. A long press on the face will awaken the screen. Subsequent short
presses will toggle the display page.
Battery
Power is provided by an internally-sealed rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery. The
battery charges when placed on the dock. Recharge time will vary based on the level
of battery, but a full charge from empty to full will complete within 1.5h. A battery
full indicator is shown on the band display, and within the software when a full
charge has been achieved.
Dock
Charge-only use
The dock can be used just to charge bands, by connecting the USB cable to any USB
port that can provide power. The USB port may be a USB wall-adapter, a computer
(with or without the STAR software), or on a USB hub.
Charge and data connectivity use
When the dock’s USB cable is connected to a computer that is running the STAR
software, it provides both battery charging and data connectivity. When a band is
connected to the dock its battery will charge automatically if it is not full, and the
band will appear in the STAR software.
Range
±4g, ±8g, ±16g
Maximum acceleration range. Higher ranges
allows faster movements to be detected.
Lower ranges provider greater sensitivity for
slower movements.
