Maintaining Your Badge ··· 101
Maintaining Your Badge
The Vocera badge requires very little maintenance: just recharge the battery
when the power gets low, and clean the badge when necessary. The following
sections describe how to charge the battery and how to clean the badge.
When to Charge the Battery
You must charge a new battery before you can use it. After that, you must
recharge the battery as needed for the badge to operate properly.
There are several easy ways to check whether you need to recharge the battery:
1. On a B2000 or B1000A badge, the green indicator light on the top of
the badge turns red and blinks rapidly. B3000 badges do not have a red
indicator light.
2. The battery-level indicator on the badge display shows empty.
3. An alert signal plays at regular intervals.
Note: This signal may be disabled by the system administrator on request.
Preparing the Charger
Important: Before you use a charger, read Important Safety
Instructions on page 127.
To prepare the charger for use, insert the single-pronged plug into the outlet
in the charger, and plug the two-pronged power plug into a 110V or 220V AC
outlet depending on the Vocera-supplied power adapter for your country.
