Battery troubleshooting
GB LASER atom will not power on
Connect the GB LASER atom to its USB-C charger and give it a full charge before retesting. If no charging indicator appears, check the cable, connector and power source first.
USB-C charging does not start
Inspect the USB-C port for lint, dirt or moisture and make sure the plug seats fully. Try another known-good compatible cable before assuming the internal battery has failed.
Battery life is below the published figure
The GB LASER atom is listed at 5,000 actuations. That figure is an ideal reference, not a guarantee; battery age, temperature and repeated use can reduce real-world runtime.
Battery drops faster during heavy use
The GB LASER atom includes LCD / multilayer optics. Using these features heavily can increase power draw compared with occasional laser-only readings.
