Inside the Medis 24/7 Fuel Cell is a fuel cartridge which, when activated, the chemical energy stored in the liquid fuel is converted into electrical engery. After activating the fuel cell by squeezing the fuel cell box, you first connect the supplied power cable connector to the fuel cell, then connect the cable to the appropriate power tip for your device to start charging. After use, you can send the fuel cell box back to Medis, instructions for which are included in the packaging.There are different starter kits available. The most basic is the Power Pack, which includes one fuel cell, the power cable connector, and 4 hot tips (mini USB, LG, Palm Treo and Nokia). Hot tips are available for other devices, including Samsung, Motorola and Sony Ericsson phones. Check out the Medis Compatibility List.

A Boon to Data Entry
Since Taylor D from Arkansas found the Daily Giz Wiz on iTunes, he's been listening to it for 6 months. He's tried out the Gunnar Optiks Computer Glasses (Episode 692), which have come as a great relief for his eyes, when he has to do 8 to 10 hours of data entry in front of the computer every day. No more double vision for Taylor.
