The sensor battery can last for seven days in standby, but battery life will differ based on usage

• If the sensor is fully charged it doesn’t reset the charging sequence. The light will show RED on the charger when placing the sensor back on the charging pad.

• LED colors:
RED LED - The charger is not active (the sensor is not on the charger or the sensor is fully charged)
BLUE LED - The sensor is charging
