We recommend plugging the charger into a wall socket, and checking all the cables are properly plugged in. Don't forget to ensure the socket is switched on.

All the devices benefit from daily charging, so there is battery when you need it. 

The screen on the device, if it has one, shows the battery charge level, and on most devices indicates when it is charging.

Pearl+ 

Check the charging cable is inserted the right way up in the Pearl+, and connected correctly to the USB socket on the charger.

Pearl II

The Pearl II should sit well in the grey charger, held in by magnets. The LED on the charger changes to red when charging and green when it is charged.

The power cable plugs into the back of the charger, and then into the charger in the power socket.

Oysta Lite

The Lite sits button down into its charger. Ensure the charging pins are at the top, back of the Lite as it goes into the charging dock.

Oysta On Hand

The Watch should sit with the silver SOS button down into the charger.

This SIM card may have been provided by Oysta, your service provider, your employer or by yourself. You should be aware that calls to or from your Oysta device may incur a charge and you should check your specific arrangements.

If your SIM card is supplied by Oysta we use a roaming SIM card to ensure the best connectivity. You should be aware that dialling into or receiving calls on your Oysta device may incur charges to the person making the call. These charges are not set by Oysta and are dependent upon the phone contract of the caller, the landline or mobile service provider. If you are unsure, contact your landline or mobile service provider and ask them if the specific Oysta device phone number will incur any additional charges.

The same advice applies to sending an SMS/text message to the Oysta device, please check with your mobile service provider. Please also note that most Oysta devices can receive messages but none can write and send an SMS/text message response.
