Install and charge the battery
New batteries are shipped partially charged. Before you can use your device, you need to
install and charge the battery. To install the battery, remove the battery cover first, and then
insert the battery by aligning the exposed copper part of the battery pack with the protruding
copper conductor which is on the upper right side of the battery slot. Insert the right side of
the battery first, then gently push the battery into place, and replace the battery cover.
Some batteries perform best after several full charge/discharge cycles. You can charge the
battery in two ways:
•
Connect your device directly to an
electrical outlet using the AC adapter.
•
Plug the sync cable to the USB port on
your PC and to the sync connector on
your device.
