Charge your tracker

A fully-charged Ace 3 has a battery life of up to 8 days. Battery life varies with use and other factors; animated clock faces require more frequent charging.

To charge Ace 3:

  1. Plug the charging cable into the USB port on your computer, a UL-certified USB wall charger, or another low-energy charging device.

  2. Align the pins on the other end of the charging cable with the gold contacts on the back of Ace 3. Gently press Ace 3 into the charger until it snaps into place.

To remove Ace 3 from the charging cable:

  1. Hold Ace 3 and slide your thumbnail between the charger and the back of the tracker on one of the corners.

  2. Gently press down on the charger until it separates from the tracker.

📘

Charging fully takes about 1-2 hours. While the tracker charges, you can press the buttons to check the battery level. A fully-charged tracker shows a solid battery icon with a smile.
