Revision 1.00 - 27.08.2020
11 General Operation
To switch on the device press the ON button. To switch off the device press the OFF
button. If the device detects a very low battery voltage, it will also switch off
automatically to protect the battery.
On the device there are four LED lights:
1 Charging (dark orange)
This light will illuminate when the 5V USB power cable is connected. It will stay
illuminated until the charging process is completed. At this point the light will extinguish.
2 Battery Low (red)
When the device is operating and the battery voltage is below 3.7V, this light will
illuminate. From the point this light first illuminates you have between 10% and 15% of
battery capacity left.
3 Message (yellow)
When the device is operating and a new unread SMS or email is available, this light will
illuminate. Once you read the SMS or email using the ADLConnect app this light will
extinguish.
4 Power (green)
This light will illuminate whenever the device is switched on.
12 Charging and Battery Considerations
To avoid a fire hazard, never charge the device unattended. On top we recommend
keeping the device in a "LiPo save bag" while charging.
The device is charged using a standard USB micro cable from a standard USB 5V
power supply suitable for the power system in your country. The ADL170/180 will
consume around 1A from this power supply.
During charging the number 1 light will illuminate (dark orange) and extinguish once the
charging progress is completed. The device will charge while switch on or off but the
charging performance will be much superior if the device is switched off. When running
the device during the charging process you can monitor the battery voltage on the
Config page of the ADLConnect app. When fully charged it should be around 4.2V, at
3.7V the red warning light will illuminate and at 3.6V the device will switch off
automatically to protect the battery.
The battery is integrated in the device and can not be changed by the user. But when
required we can exchange the battery for you. To get the best battery life, we do
recommend storing the device with a fully or at least partially charged battery. Avoid
running the battery low and storing the device that way. Remember to store the device
in the "LiPo save bag" to avoid a potential fire hazard.
