Battery and Charging
• The battery level on GO can be checked at any time by performing a
‘System Check’.
• GO also provides automatic notification for low battery level when it requires charging.
9.1 Low Battery Notification
When GO reaches low battery (approximately 20% of capacity remaining) it will announce, “My
battery is low. Please place me on the charger today.” The light ring will illuminate orange.
This announcement will repeat once every three hours. Without being used, GO should last more
than 48 hours, giving a user sufficient time to charge the device.
• One ‘low battery’ report will be sent to monitoring when a low battery level is detected. A
‘battery charging’ report will only be sent when GO is placed on the charger and the battery
reaches an adequate level.
• During operator voice contact (after an alert has been sent), a low battery notification (beep)
will be played over the speaker so both the user and monitoring operator can hear.
9.2 Critical Battery Notification
When GO reaches critically low battery it will announce, “My battery is critically low. Please place me
on the charger immediately. An alert may fail.” The light ring will illuminate red. No report is sent to
monitoring in order to conserve the remaining battery life. This announcement will repeat three
hourly, until placed on the charger or GO runs flat.
9.3 Battery Life Expectancy
You can expect to have approximately 80% capacity after 350 -500 charges (when charged in
temperature 25°C and fully discharged between cycles), when the battery is less than three to five (3-5)
years old.
