Power on
Press the ON/OFF button on top of FittingLINK for approx. 2 seconds until you see a
green steady light from the top LED and a short red and blue flash from the front LED
indicators. The LED lights indicate that FittingLINK is powered on and you can release the
ON/OFF button.
If FittingLINK cannot power on, make sure it is charged.
If the top LED shows a red light instead of the green light the battery is running low
(steady red light) or very low (flashing red light) and FittingLINK should be charged.
Please refer to “See how to charge FittingLINK”.
Power off
Press and hold the ON/OFF button on top of FittingLINK for approx. 2 seconds until the
top LED indicator turns off.
How to charge FittingLINK
FittingLINK uses an internal rechargeable battery.
FittingLINK can be charged either by using the provided charger and charging cradle or by
using the USB cable provided.
When charging FittingLINK for the first time, it should be left to charge for at least two
hours even if the top LED indicator on the device shows that the battery is fully charged.
We recommend that you turn off and store FittingLINK in the charging cradle whenever it
is not in use, to ensure the best possible performance.
It is safe to leave FittingLINK in the charging cradle overnight – the battery cannot be
overcharged.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
When recharging FittingLINK, use the supplied original power
supply 5.0V/1A, CE and safety marked.
