Troubleshooting Charging
If the magnetic charging connector is seated on the pump charging contact, but the charger and charging contact LEDs
are not lit blue: Check that the charging cable is connected to an AC adapter and active outlet, PC/laptop connected to an active
power source, or a portable power pack with a full charge that is compatible with charging Pocket Pump TOUCH.
If only the charger LED lights blue: It means that there is no connection with the pump charging contact. Check and reconnect
the charging connector on the cable to the pump’s charging contact. Both the charger and charging contact LEDs should light blue
when connected properly.
3. Charge ba ery completely (approximately 10 hours to 100% or 4.5 hours to 80%). See ba ery charge status indicator descriptions below.
