(the small round hole located on the upper right side of your device) and plug 

the power cord into a standard electrical wall outlet. 

 

     

 

 

The orange charge indicator light will go on and a lightning bolt icon 

will appear over the battery icon in the title bar, indicating the charger is 

connected and the battery is charging. Note that if your device has discharged 

completely, it may take up to 15 minutes before you see any indication of 

charging on the screen.

Let the device charge for at least four (4) hours, until fully charged.

Rest the device in a safe place and let the battery charge for at least four 

hours. When you first receive your device, you 

must

 fully charge the battery for 

the system to perform battery-reading calibration and deliver full capacity.
As the device is charging, you will see the bars in the battery icon fill 

repeatedly from left to right. When your device is fully-charged, the lightning 

bolt icon will disappear and the bars will stop moving and remain in the filled 

position.

For efficient operation, charge your device nightly. If you plan to leave your device 

unattended for an extended period of time, be aware that the battery will discharge 

after two days if it is turned on and not attached to the charger. If your device does 

fully discharge, simply attach it to the charger; all your data should be restored.
