where the device’s sounds may be disruptive, like a movie
theater, you may want to turn off your device. Make sure to
turn it back on afterwards in case you encounter an unsafe
situation. If you’re in a noisy area, you’ll need to move the
device closer to your ear or to your mouth.

To ensure that your 5Star service is activated successfully, it’s

Keeping your 5Star charged
It’s very important to always keep your 5Star charged and with you, so
you will have immediate access to help.
Out of the box, the device is
only partially charged. It’s important that you fully charge your device after
activating:
1. To charge, plug the large end of the Battery Charger into a
standard wall outlet and the small connector into the device with
the word “Up” facing up. You will then hear a tone.
2.
The Battery Indicator will blink green during the charging
process. Once fully charged, it will remain solid green.
3. Unplug the Battery Charger. You’ll hear a tone and the Battery
Indicator will turn off to save power.
4.
When the battery is low, the Battery Indicator will ash red and
you will hear a repeating tone to charge. The tone will repeat more
frequently as the battery level decreases.
5.
If the battery loses all of its charge, the device will power off. The
5Star will power back on when it is connected to the Battery
Charger.
