plusID Battery Recharge Instructions
The plusID device is powered by a rechargeable battery. A single battery charge is good for
approximately 1,000 uses/verifications.
How to Charge
The battery is rechargeable using any mini-USB cable. A mini-USB cable is included
with each plusID device for charging via a computer (a PC with a USB port is required).
Insert the smallest end of the USB cable into the base of the plusID device and the
largest end into a computer's USB port. The device will begin charging as soon as it is
connected. Connecting to a computer’s USB port is the preferred method of charging.
! A high power USB port is required for charging. Some hub and keyboard USB ports are
incapable of charging plusID devices.
plusID can also be charged with many (but not all) wall chargers and car chargers that
provide a mini-USB connector output. For assurance that a charger will effectively and
safely charge your plusID device, it is strongly recommended that you use a Privaris
approved wall outlet or car charger.
How Long to Charge
If the device’s yellow or red light is blinking (less than 15% or 8% charge, respectively) a
recharge of approximately 90 minutes is required to completely recharge the battery. In either
case, the yellow light will continue to blink while the device is charging, and will turn off to
indicate a full charge.
If the battery is too low for the device to function properly, it may simply not power on, or it may
turn on, display a solid red light and then immediately power off. In this state, a recharge of two
hours or more may be required and the device may not exhibit any signs of life for the first 20 –
30 minutes of charging.
Note: A dead battery has no affect on the data that is stored on the plusID device
