fully charged.
All five LEDs: Fully charged
No LEDs: Fully depleted

To check the battery status
while using the Apex, simultaneously
press the two buttons on either side
of the joystick.
The battery charge indicator LEDs

To charge the battery:
1.
Plug in the supplied Apex battery
charger.
Note:
To charge the Apex, you can
use the supplied adaptor or any
micro-USB to USB 2.0 adaptor.
2.
Insert the charger connector into
the Apex and leave it to charge.
Note:
A full recharge takes up to
six hours, depending on the
charger used. To ensure the
battery is fully charged, leave it
charging until the five battery
charge LEDs
and the amber
battery charging status LED
are no longer illuminated, and the
remaining battery charging status
LED is green.
3.
When the battery is fully charged,
detach the charger.
The battery charge indicator LEDs
stay lit for about five seconds.
A fully charged Apex operates for
about seven to eight hours, unless it
is in Continuous mode (see page 4).
