      Charging via a USB Cable (Individual Charger):

      1. For an individual iMG, plug a micro-USB cable into the rear of the solo charging case. Once connected to a power source, the solo case will display an LED light to indicate the charging status of the device.


      Charging via a Prevent Team Case:

      1. Make sure the team case is connected to a power source. Gently slide the solo charging case into any available slot within the team case; it should fit smoothly without resistance.

      2. All solo cases plugged into the team case will display an LED light, indicating the charging status of the device. 

      Avoid applying excessive force when inserting the solo charging case into the team case, as this may cause damage to the micro-USB ports. If you encounter resistance when trying to insert a solo case, please try using a different slot.

      Note: The Prevent iMG will require approximately 90-minutes to fully charge. Once removed from a power source, the iMG is turned on and ready to collect data.
