² Battery life testing was conducted by HMD Global Oy using an endurance test model under controlled indoor conditions with no satellite network connection. The test included periodic activation of the sound indicator, vibration, LEDs, GPS, Non-terrestrial network simulation, and SOS features as well as idle time between the activations, in a 24-hour cycle until the battery was depleted. Testing was conducted with a new battery and the Bluetooth connection remained active until the battery was fully depleted.
