Information to record

Use these prompts to agree the record for your project. Keep the answers and their source references together; leave an unknown value explicit rather than filling it with an assumption.

Visit duration
Estimate the field session and travel time.
Starting charge
Record charge at the start of the trial.
Trial workload
Describe screen, photo and map activity.
Power equipment
List compatible chargers and power banks.
Interruption plan
Agree how records will be checked if the device stops.

Checks for this task

  1. Check charging compatibility before leaving for the site.
  2. Measure consumption during a representative sample session.
  3. Save and review the last records before a planned power interruption.

A worked example

Illustrative example, not a client case: A tablet lasts through desk testing but the field trial uses the screen continuously. The team adjusts its charging arrangements using that observed workload and retains a documented handover if a device must be replaced.

Scope and limits

Trial results apply to the tested device and workload; they are not a guaranteed runtime or a substitute for safe equipment use.

Use the worksheet

The download contains the prompts and checks above with space for your project notes. It is a plain text document you can edit in a text editor or copy into your project brief. It contains no client information and does not run calculations, import records or change an account.
