wireless access to a range of communication gateways, without the need for
infrastructure.

programmed at the same time. The programming method allows users to ensure
they are connected to the correct person, before allocating that person to a memory
location.

battery care
With care, you can maximize the battery life (i.e. the time your battery will run before
it must be recharged) and lifespan of your XSports’s battery.
Your New XSports
Be sure to fully charge your XSports when you plug it in for the first time.
Standard Maintenance
For proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, it’s important to keep the
electrons in it moving occasionally. Phicom does not recommend leaving your
XSports plugged in all the time for charging.
An ideal use would be a person who uses their XSports in their activity, after which
plugs it in to charge. This keeps the battery activity flowing.
Long Term Storage
