The TPL Birdy Slim Desktop Charger is a standard item included along with a 3.7 VDC, 700 ma Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery in every Birdy Slim Pager package. A blue LED light strip located on the front base of the Desktop Charger indicates the unit is powered on.
While in the Charger, the Birdy Slim Pager displays a large flashing battery image to indicate that battery charging is being performed. Two connector ports are located at the rear of the Charger. One port is used to connect a USB – USB cable for power purposes. The second port can be used to control a contact relay for an external siren for example, through an RJ45 connector and cable.
The TPL Birdy Slim is a thin, lightweight and exceptionally durable Alphanumeric Pager. Functioning as a POCSAG paging receiver, the Birdy Slim also has a built-in POCSAG paging transmitter. Included with each pager are a desktop charger, a rechargeable 3.7 V 700 ma Li-Ion battery, a belt clip and lanyard.
The TPL Birdy Slim Programmer package contains a cradle that is a combination of a programmer and charger, Birdy programming software, and a micro-USB to USB programming cable. The programming cradle is very similar in appearance to the Birdy Slim Charger cradle. The main difference between the two is the LED strip light of the programmer and charger cradle is green while the charger-only cradle LED strip light is blue.
The TPL Birdy Slim Rechargeable Battery is the main supplier of power for each Birdy Slim pager. The lightweight 3.7 VDC, 700 mA Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery is one of the more popular types of rechargeable batteries used in small electronic devices.
