Insert and Charge the Battery

IMPORTANT

  Before you use your device, be sure to charge the battery for at least three hours 

to ensure a full initial charge.

To insert and charge the battery, follow these steps:

 

Insert your fingernail into the indention on the back cover and lift to open the battery 
compartment, located on the bottom of the device. Set the cover aside.

 

Align the gold-colored contacts on the battery with the gold-colored contacts on the device 
and gently slide the battery into place.

 

Replace the cover by setting it on the device where the notches align, and then press on the 
cover until it clicks into place.
