Charging FAQ
What are the charging indicators?

If the LED does not show a solid red light while charging (e.g. blinking or alternating color), try a different charger.
Which chargers are compatible?
Supported chargers include:
- Standard 5V USB-A power adapters
- Quick-Charge capable smartphone chargers
- Certain USB Power Delivery (PD) laptop chargers
Compatibility may vary by charger model.
How long does it take to charge?
A full charge from 0% to 100% typically takes 2.5–4 hours, depending on the charger used.
Can I charge from my computer?
Not all computer USB-C ports support device charging. If your Pager doesn’t charge when connected directly, using a USB hub may allow it to charge properly.
Charge Troubleshooting
If the device does not indicate that it is either charging (solid red) or fully charged (solid green) here are some steps you can take:
- Unplug and replug charger, try a different charger or cable combination
