Battery and Accessories

4.1 Rechargeable Battery

1. “Phoenix” adopts a 2500mAh/9.25Wh lithium battery.

2. When the battery level shows 0%, the device will automatically shut down. The alarm function can only be enabled when the battery level is above 1%.

3. The device can be used for up to 30 hours when four temperature probes are inserted and the phone is connected to a Wi-Fi network.

4. Turning on alarms and Wi-Fi will increase the power consumption of the device.

5. Probe temperatures can affect the power consumption of the device.

6. Turning off Wi-Fi can significantly reduce the power consumption of the device.

7. If Wi-Fi is off and Bluetooth is off and not connected, the device will be on standby for a long time.

8. Please use a standard USB TYPE-C 2.0/3.0 cable to charge the device.

9. Please charge the device with a 5V/1A rated USB adapter. At an ambient temperature of 23°C, the battery can be charged to at least 40% in 60 minutes, 75% in 120 minutes and 98% in 180 minutes.

10. Working Environment: Discharge: -10℃~+60℃ with the highest humidity 90%RH. Optimal discharge temperature: +15℃~+25℃. The device can exert the highest performance of the lithium battery at this temperature. Charging: 0℃~+45℃ with the highest humidity 90%RH. Optimal charging temperature: +20℃~+25℃. The battery can be charged to the maximum battery level in the shortest time at this temperature.

11. Battery life may be affected by using equipment in an environment with temperatures above 40°C or below 0°C.

12. Storage Environment: -20℃~ + 45℃, 65% +/- 20% RH;  Ideal storage environment: 0°C ~ + 30°C, 65% +/- 10% RH.

13. Do not fully charge or fully discharge the device’s battery – charge it to about 50%. If you discharge the device when the battery is fully charged, the battery may fall into  a deep discharge state, which makes it unable to discharge continuously.
    Conversely, if the device is charged for a long time, the battery may lose some capacity, resulting in reduced battery life.

14. Do not use the device in extremely high/low-temperature environments.

15. Do not use the device in a high humidity environment; otherwise, the battery may be damaged.

4.2 Accessory

1. USB Cable: USB TYPE-C Charging Cable Cable Length: 50cm (approx. 1.64ft)
