Charging times
The time taken to charge the battery is dependent on the power output of your charger. A
typical phone charger will fully re-charge your GDB Pager in 3 hours. During charging, the
device may become warm, this is perfectly normal. As a minimum, your charger should supply 1
Amp at 5 Volts. If you charge your device from a USB port on another device, such as a laptop
or a USB hub, please ensure that the device is mains powered and can deliver the minimum
charging current.
3.3.2
Expected battery life
Under normal operating conditions, you can expect the battery to last between 12 and 18
hours before recharging is required. Your battery life depends on the following assumptions:
•
The display timeout is 20 seconds
•
Clear sky/reception conditions
When your pager is powered down, you can expect the battery to last more than 30 days.
As with all portable battery powered devices, battery life can be significantly shortened by
extreme temperatures and some usage patterns.
3.3.3
Charging Precautions
•
Ensure that you charge your pager in a dry environment and at room temperature. The
battery will not charge at temperatures below 0º Celsius.
•
When you have finished charging, check that the USB charging port is clean and the
protective plug is secured properly. Failure to do so may cause water or dust ingress
resulting in malfunction.
