Reading the charge level of the batteries
You can read the charge level of the batteries via the two LEDs on the top of the
charging/docking station. Charging a completely empty battery takes about 4 hours, provided
that the reader is switched off while the reader battery is charged. If the reader is switched
on, the charging process takes longer and the remaining charging duration of the reader
battery is shown at the bottom edge of the display.
