Battery
Charging the
Parrot MINIKIT
Neo
The Parrot MINIKIT Neo must be fully charged before being used for the
first time. To do so, plug the charger into your vehicle’s cigar lighter and
connect the USB / micro-USB cable to the charger and to the kit. You
can also use the USB / micro -USB cable to connect the Parrot MINIKIT
Neo to your computer.
During charging, the battery indicator light turns red. When the light goes
out, the charge is complete.
The charging time is approximately 3.5 hours.
Slide the On / Off button forward to check the Parrot MINIKIT Neo battery
level.
Sleep mode
If the Parrot MINIKIT Neo has not been connected to any phone for 5
minutes, it automatically switches to sleep mode. To exit sleep mode, press
any button or connect your phone to the Parrot MINIKIT Neo
If you leave the Parrot MINIKIT Neo in your vehicle without turning it off, the
Parrot MINIKIT Neo will switch to deep sleep mode. Thanks to its vibration
detector, the Parrot MINIKIT Neo will automatically exit deep sleep mode
when you get back into your vehicle and close its door. If Bluetooth is
activated on your phone, the connection between both devices will be
automatically established.
Battery life
The battery can last up to:
- 10 hours in conversation
- 15 days with 2 connected phones (without communication)
- 6 months in deep sleep mode.
When battery level is low, a voice prompt is played. It will then beep every
minute before turning off or being recharged.
When the magic words for outgoing calls are activated, the Parrot MINIKIT
Neo does not switch to sleep mode. The battery life is thus reduced.
