Note: The EQTracker are preconfigured per default, which means that you don't have to manually switch on the

6.2 Charging
An EQTracker is powered off when put into a charging slot in the RTK EQU Charging Case via magnetic contact.
It will charge automatically when the case is connected to a suitable power supply. When an EQTracker is
removed from a charging slot, it will automatically switch on. Once operational, the green status LED starts to
flash periodically.
Note: Charging for about three hours will result in a charging level of approximately 95 percent.
The power supply for EQTracker must meet the requirements of ES1/PS1
Mechanical damage to the housing can cause shorts circuits in the internal battery
which entail the risk of excessive overheating and burn injuries.
Never deploy or charge EQTracker that appears to be mechanically damaged.
6.3 Deployment
The EQTracker has no separate power button. The EQTacker is automatically ready for operation as soon as it is
removed from a slot in the RTK EQU Charging Case. Furthermore, every EQTracker is preconfigured to "standby
mode" per default, which means that you don't have to manually switch on an EQTracker prior to an event or
after a full discharge.
EQTracker must only be used in a maximum height of 2 meters above the ground. An
accidental dropping of the device from heights above 2 meters entails a risk for
injuries, especially to the head.
To ensure maximum safety during the race, observe the following precautions:
- Do not deploy a EQTracker that seems broken or damaged
- Make sure that the EQTracker body is firmly attached to the saddle cloth
- After the race, check all EQTrackers for visible damages.
- Replace these EQTrackers if a damage is found or may be suspected
- Always store EQTrackers in a dedicated RTK EQU Charging Case, in order to avoid damages
