Shield Mechanics
Turning ON and Off
Under a velcro flap there is access to the ON|OFF switch. Position the switch to ON to turn on or OFF to turn off.
​
Charging
To charge the Shield, access the charging port under the velcro strap. Use a USB Micro B power cord. A red LED means that is it charging. A separate green LED means that the power source is good. When the shield is done charging, the red LED will turn off and the green LED will stay on. Charging a Shield takes approximately 3 hours from fully empty. Estimated run time on a full charge is around 16 hours +
