Battery & Charging
- Battery: 2 Ah Rechargeable
- Charge Time: Typical full charge is 4.5 hours at room temperature
- Charging Temperature Range: 0°C-40°C*
- Battery Life: LTE-M: 17 hours typical (LTE-M)*, 2G: 16 hours typical
- Actual battery run-time will vary depending on factors including cellular coverage, GPS coverage, ambient temperature, usage, active alerts, acknowledgment delay of alerts, location changes, RFID reading, gas readings, device navigation, battery age, and battery cycles.
Durability
- Exceeds 26 drops from 4 feet (1.2 m) (MIL-STD-810G 516.6 Transit Drop)
- Capable of surviving an incidental 25 foot (7.5 m) drop onto concrete
- Survives 60 minutes in NFPA 1982-2018 tumble tester
- Dust and waterproof IP68 rating (2 m for 1 hour)
Location Awareness
- GNSS: Concurrent GNSS (GPS and GLONASS)
- GPS Update Frequency: 30 seconds*
- Location is updated every 30 seconds when a position is acquired. When no position is acquired, the device searches for a location every five minutes to conserve battery life of the device.
GPS Accuracy: 2.5 meters*
- GPS accuracy will be influenced by surroundings, infrastructure, & environmental conditions
Connectivity
- RFID Reader: Used by MSA id Tags for digital device assignment & DOCK communication
- Cellular: LTE-M / 2G Fallback
- Cellular Carriers: AT&T Global Partner Network, Verizon (USA Only)
- Bluetooth: v4.1 Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE)
