E. Recharging the ARES Battery
CAUTION: The ARES should only be recharged by trained staff.
CAUTION: Do Not Touch the metal snaps on the flex circuit during charging.
1. The batteries will need to be recharged within two weeks to complete a two-night
study, and every four weeks to complete a one-night study.
2. To recharge the ARES, plug the wall charger
into a power outlet and confirm the light on the
charger is illuminated.
3. Insert a USB cable into the wall charger and
into the ARES.
4. The ARES will switch on after the USB cable
is inserted. A voice message will indicate the
battery is charging and the green indicator light
on the ARES will blink once per second. The
green light on the front of the ARES will flash
rapidly during charging and will stop flashing
when charging is complete.
5. If there is a problem with the charging, the ARES
will provide a voice message or chirp 4 times a second.
6. The green indicator light on the ARES will switch off when charging is finished.
Remove the USB Cable from the ARES and it will shut off automatically.
7. Recharge the ARES with the USB charger supplied. Do not charge the ARES by
connecting it to the USB port on a computer.
Note: If the voice message does not sound and the ARES light is not flashing then the battery is
completely drained and the device must be trickle charged for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, remove
the ARES from the cable and plug it back in, this time the voice message “the ARES is Charging”
will sound and normal charging will continue. Call Technical Support at (877) 710-6999 if you have
additional questions.
