[PRO TIP] The cover will bind if you don’t align things well. The magnets are strong to hold the cover on during an accidental door slam. If you find the BusyBox and cover not aligning easily, it means the magnets are not taking hold at the same time. Try to keep the cover parallel to the BusyBox.

[PRO TIP] To show you that your BusyBox is charging, the LED lights by the side buttons will pulse green. The side LEDs will pulse green while the BusyBox is charging, then light solid green once it has reached 100% full.

This often means the charger you’re using can not supply enough power to the BusyBox to charge with the screen on. Your options are to a) charge the device with the screen off or b) get a more powerful charger. We recommend a 10W or greater charger with “Power Delivery” technology, for the fastest, safest charging. You can find these PD or "Power Delivery" chargers on many websites like Amazon and more, and usually you can get a 3 pack for $15 or less.

Bluetooth has a lot of advantages, and a few disadvantages. One of the disadvantages is that it’s a “low power” device (which helps with battery life). We’ve found that moving the button a few inches around our desktop can make a huge difference. Ideally, you want to make sure nothing is between your Button and BusyBox … except the door of course. 😁 Your body will absorb a lot of Bluetooth waves, so try to put the Button in a place where your body, your chair, your cabinets, and computer, are not blocking the Bluetooth signal at all.

Yes! No problem. We recommend that you attach the mounting plate with the arrow pointing toward the hinge. This maximizes the safety during a wind-induced door slam.

The most power hungry part of the BusyBox is the lights for the S and the display for the D. If you run full brightness, you will use the most power. To maximize runtime, use the lowest possible brightness while still making sure that the message can be seen. It’s pretty easy to get 10 eight-hour-days with the BusyBox S with a good "indoor" brightness. Most of our team gets two weeks between charges with the S. The D will make it two 8-hour days, but the screen is a big power hog (like your phone and tablet) so charging everynight is a good habit to get into.
If you want to leave the unit plugged in all the time, check out the Modern Cover. It has access doors for the USB-C charge port that allow you to leave the cover on completely and leave the unit plugged in.

Leaving the unit plugged in all the time is not a problem at all. It is designed to run in both battery and fully plugged in mode. In fact, we made the Modern cover with you in mind. It has 3 different side doors, two of which are made for “always plugged in” applications like yours; one door is for the BusyBox S, the other is for the BusyBox D. The third access door is solid so it hides the USB-C charging port for when you don’t want to be plugged in, and don’t want to see the opening. You can see the Modern Cover here.
