Battery Installation 
The Glowster and Patient Pager products are powered by a user-replaceable 
rechargeable Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery pack.  To replace the battery 
pack, remove the battery door screw and battery door located on the rear of the 
pager (Fig. 6).  Remove the existing battery pack and place a new pack into the 
battery compartment.  (For your convenience, JTECH offers a replacement 
battery pack; order with part number 232020.)  Once battery pack is installed, 
replace the battery door and reinstall the screw.  After installing the replacement 
battery pack, the heartbeat indicator should be visible.

Glowster Heartbeat/Charge Indicator 
Under normal operations, Glowsters display a solid red ‘ready’ light when on the 
charging rack.  Immediately after removing a Glowster from the charging rack, 
this ‘ready’ light will go out and, after 3 seconds, a short vibe/flash ‘test page’ will 
occur, alerting the operator that the Glowster is ready for use.  When off the 
charging rack and operating normally, the ‘ready’ light LED will flash as a 
'heartbeat' indicator every two seconds to indicate proper operation.   
 
When placed on the charging rack in a low battery state, the ‘ready’ light will 
display a rapid ‘double flash,’ indicating that the unit has entered the cautionary 
1-hour mandatory minimum charge routine.  After 1-hour, the low-battery ‘double 
flash’ indicator will be replaced by the solid red ‘ready’ light.  For optimal 
performance, Glowster pagers should charge for an eight (8) to twelve (12) hours 
to become completely recharged.  When off the charger, if the Glowster detects 
insufficient battery power, the heartbeat indicator will stop, and the unit will enter 
a sleep state until placed back on the charger, where it will enter the 1-hour 
mandatory charge routine.
