charge the MobilePro continuously for 6 to10 hours to fully charge the
main battery. Allow the 6 to10 hours to pass even if the indicator light
changes from amber to green before the 6 to10 hours have passed.
To protect your data, do not use the system until the battery is fully
charged. Recharge the battery whenever the battery charging LED
lights amber.
You must repeat this full 10-hour charge cycle only if the battery
becomes fully discharged.
