Mobile Charger MCH Overview

The MCH is the sole mechanism in which to charge the GPS device. Key components of the MCH include:

1. LCD
2. USB-C charging port
3. Button/Jaw
4. Sleep Mode (applicable to Key as well)
   • Occurs when MCH/Key has not been connected to a device or power for approximately 30 hours
   • To determine if MCH/Key is in Sleep Mode, depress the device button
   • If LCD lights up, MCH/Key is not in Sleep Mode
   • If LCD does not light up, MCH/Key is in Sleep Mode or is not charged
   • When initially connected to power, the MCH/Key that is in Sleep Mode will not generate an audio tone
   • To disengage Sleep Mode, connect MCH/Key to power for approximately 15 seconds or until information is displayed on the LCD. This action must be taken before the MCH/Key is connected to a device

Charging the Mobile Charger (MCH)

• Step 1: Connect the power adapter/USB-C cable to a power outlet, insert the USB-C cable into the MCH
• Step 2: Charge started: charge-time calculation in progress
• Step 3: Charging: charge-time remaining (15-min. increments)
• Step 4: Charge complete: disconnect USB-C cable
• NOTE: charge-time remaining stops at 00:15; and remains until fully charged ✓

Charging the GPS Device

• When the device’s primary battery level is at 25%, it will generate two vibration pulses every 10 minutes to prompt the Client to charge the device. Vibrations will continue until the MCH is placed on the device and begins charging.
• Step 1: Press and hold the button of the MCH to open the jaw
• Note: Jaw must be opened before placing MCH on the GPS device to ensure a secure connection and for charging to begin
• Step 2: While holding button, position and connect MCH to the device

MCH LCD must be facing up

• Connect MCH to the device where the three (3) silver leads and small grips are located

Step 3: Monitor MCH LCD

• a. Charge started – charge-time calculation in progress
• b. Charging – charge-time remaining (15-min. increments)
• c. Charge complete – checkmark; disconnect MCH from device
• d. MCH does not have enough charge to complete a full charge of the device – audio tones are generated every 5 min; MCH must be removed from the device and plugged into a power outlet
• NOTE: charge-time remaining stops at 00:15; and remains until fully charged ✓

Key (ULK) Overview

Troubleshooting Tips

Pre-Installation

• Confirm mobile charger (MCH) is out of “sleep mode” and charged by pressing the button located on the bottom of the charger.
• Display lights up – MCH is out of sleep mode
• The display does not light up – MCH is in sleep mode. Plug into power for approximately 15 seconds or until the information is displayed
• Confirm BRX is out of “sleep mode” and charged by attaching charged MCH
• Audio tone occurs when MCH is attached
• MCH display lights up to confirm full charge or time remaining to full charge
• Confirm both BRX and BRM are the same size (size located by serial number)

Installation

• Ensure the BRM “triangle” is pointing upwards when positioning around the client’s leg

• Attach BRM and BRX hinges first around the client’s leg

• Close the device while maintaining pressure at the lock end of the device until the top LED flashes green and an audio tone is heard

• All green LEDs and audio tone = successful installation

• Middle LED flashes green/device periodically vibrates = locking mechanism has not fully closed; press both sides near the LEDs until you hear a “click”

• Bottom LED flashes green and the device repeats a 5-pulse vibration = device is not oriented correctly:

• a. Confirm the device was installed “triangle up” – if not, use the key or software to open the device; let the device reset for 30 seconds then re-close

• b. If the device was installed with “triangle up,” then the device has not completed its orientation check – have the client stand up and the device should re-orient within 20 seconds to complete installation (confirmed by solid green LED and an audio tone)

• All red LEDs = device must be re-opened with key; wait 30 seconds then re-close Removal

• Confirm the device has a charge by placing charged MCH on it for 3-5 minutes

• Ensure the key is out of sleep mode by depressing the button located at the bottom of the key
  Display lights up – the key is out of sleep mode

• The display does not light up – the key is in sleep mode and must be plugged into power for approximately 15 seconds or until the information is displayed

• attach Key to a device – repeating audio tones/display indicate the device is ready to be opened by pressing the sides of a device together (near LEDs) and then pulling the sides apart X” on display instead of “open icons” – leave a key on a device for several minutes to allow the key to reset and start the authentication process again Optional “Open” command from software – ensure the device is charged and communicating.

• Repeating audio tones indicate the device is ready to be opened by pressing the sides of a device together (near LEDs) and then pulling the sides apart

• NOTE: If you are unable to open/remove the device, please contact GEOSATIS
