When your Centro is on (see Turning your
Centro

™

690 smart device on and off), the

onscreen battery icon displays the charging
status:

TIP

If the battery is fully drained, it may take a

few moments for the indicator light to turn on
when you begin charging.

TIP

If the indicator light does not turn on when

you connect your Centro 690 to the AC
charger, double-check the cable connection
and the electrical outlet to which it is
connected.

A red lightning bolt indicates that
the battery is connected to an
electrical outlet and is being
charged.

A green lightning bolt indicates that
the battery is connected to an
electrical outlet and is fully charged.

A partial battery without a lightning
bolt indicates that the battery is not
connected to an electrical outlet
and it has some power.

An almost empty battery that is red
at the bottom indicates that you
need to charge the battery
immediately.

TIP

To see the remaining battery charge

expressed as a percentage, tap the onscreen

battery

icon.
