Charging your band for the first time

Step 1 of the Getting Started Guide

Welcome to Visible! If you’ve received your band, the first thing to do is charge it.

Charge your band for at least 1 hour

Charging for at least an hour will wake up the band and give it enough power for up to 5 days.

The magnetic charging cable is in the box. This is how to use it:

  1. Turn your band over to expose the sensor and the charging port – the port has two small round magnets each side.

  2. Attach the magnetic end of the charging cable to the charging port – you’ll feel a slight pull as the magnets connect.

  3. Plug the other end of the cable into a USB charger – a wall outlet is best for a stronger, more reliable charge.

The charger being connected to the sensor's charging pins.

The red lights will flash slowly in sequence

The sensor on your band has a red light on each corner. These lights will flash slowly in sequence while the band charges. It will look as if the lights are rotating.

If the battery is completely empty it may take several minutes for the lights to start flashing.

When the band is fully charged for the first time, the lights will flash faster. This is to let you know that the band is ready to pair with the Visible app.
