Can you charge the Pico 4 Ultra Enterprise during use?

There are times when it may be necessary to use the Pico 4 Ultra Enterprise while it is charging, especially during long sessions or professional demonstrations. However, this practice comes with both advantages and limitations that should be considered.

1. Can the headset be used while charging?

Yes, the Pico 4 Ultra Enterprise can be used while charging, but this may affect charging time and user comfort.

  • The headset operates normally, even when plugged into its charger.
  • Battery life is extended, allowing for prolonged use without interruption.
  • Charging time increases, as power is consumed while being supplied.
  • Mild heating of the headset may occur during intensive use.

2. Tips for optimal use while charging

If you need to use the headset while charging, consider the following best practices:

  1. Use a high-power charger: Opt for a 45W USB-C charger that supports Power Delivery (PD 3.0) or Quick Charge (QC 4.0) to ensure a stable power supply. Avoid low-power chargers, as they may not provide enough energy.
  2. Limit power-intensive applications: Heavy applications or VR streaming can increase the headset’s temperature. Reduce screen brightness when possible to save power.
  3. Choose a long charging cable: A long USB-C cable (at least 2m) allows for greater mobility while charging. Ensure the cable does not obstruct movement during VR sessions.

3. What are the risks of prolonged charging while in use?

While the Pico 4 Ultra Enterprise is designed for use while charging, it is not recommended to rely on this practice frequently.

  • Increased headset temperature: Prolonged use while charging can raise the headset’s temperature.
  • Battery wear: Constantly charging the headset while in use may shorten battery lifespan over time.
  • Reduced comfort: The charging cable may interfere with movement in certain interactive applications.

The Pico 4 Ultra Enterprise can be used while charging, but doing so slows down charging and may affect comfort. It is therefore recommended to avoid intensive use while charging, except when absolutely necessary.
