Battery life
The R500 runs for 12 months on a single AAA battery. When your battery is low, the R500 goes into a 'power-saving' mode — disabling the laser to extend battery life so you can continue presenting for an extra week.

NOTE: Battery life may vary on user and computing conditions.

Smart power management
The R500 automatically goes into deep sleep after 30 minutes of inactivity.

NOTE: To prevent draining the battery when not used or when traveling, the R500 remote will instantly go to deep sleep if not connected to a device. The laser will also be automatically stopped after a continuous press of 2 minutes.

How to check battery status
Press and hold the laser button: 

• If the LED is steady white: this means that the battery is good. 
• If the LED is pulsing red:  the battery is low and the laser is disabled to save power
