Link cables and USB cables can be inserted and

Adapters while a game is running
Updating Analogue OS and Firmware
Before playing your Pocket for the rst time,
make sure to update to the latest Analogue OS at
support.analogue.co. You will need a FAT or exFAT
(recommended) formatted SD card (up to 1TB) to
update the rmware.
In order to update the rmware, copy the latest
rmware update le at support.analogue.co
(with a .bin extension) to the root directory of your
SD card. Make sure no other rmware les are in
the root directory. Insert your SD card into the SD
card slot on your Pocket and turn the power on.
The rmware update process will start
automatically and take a few minutes to complete.
A progress bar will be displayed while the rmware
is updating. Do not power o your Pocket while
the rmware is updating. If the power goes o for
any reason or Pocket is removed from a charging
source, don’t panic. The system may not display
anything but it will look for a rmware le to ash
to once the power is restored. You cannot brick
Pocket with a failed rmware update.

Charging Pocket
Pocket requires a USB-C to USB-C cable for
charging, and a USB-C charger capable of
5V @ 3A (15 watts). There are a variety of existing
charge cables that adapt USB type A to USB-C.
These will only charge Pocket at a very slow rate
while turned o, and cannot provide enough
power to charge or even fully run Pocket while
it is turned on. Generally, USB-A to USB-C cables
will incorrectly report their current capacity even
when plugged into a USB-A charger that could
provide enough power. Further, many simply cannot
support high current anyway. Only USB-C to USB-C
cables should be used.
Pocket’s bundled USB-C cable will provide the
best charging performance
Battery Guidelines
— Store Pocket at 50-60% charged when you
store it long term. Place your device in a
cool, moisture-free environment that is less
than 90° F (32° C)
— Do not store or leave Pocket at 0% charge.
If you store a device when its battery is fully
discharged, the battery could fall into a deep
discharge state, which can make it incapable
of holding or taking a charge.
— Do not leave Pocket in direct sunlight or a
very hot environment.
— If you plan to store your device for longer
than six months, charge it to 50-60% every
six months.
— There is no need to remove the battery
from the Pocket enclosure even when
disassembling Pocket.
