STEP 1. Charging the Battery:
The battery is not fully charged and it is highly recommended that you charge your LIBRE
before you begin using it.
Note: Using the LIBRE “out of the box” will not harm the device. You will experience
reduced battery life as the unit will not be fully charged.
Connect the power adapter to the LIBRE’s USB port and you will see an animation of a
battery charging on the LIBRE’s display. Please charge the battery for a minimum of four
(4) hours using the power adapter. You may also charge the battery by connecting your
LIBRE to the USB port of your PC using the USB cable included with your LIBRE. How-
ever, using this method will extend the charging time to approximately seven (7) hours.
Please note, the animation simply informs the user that the LIBRE is in charging mode.
Please do not rely on the animation to verify the battery level. To verify the battery level,
please go to the Main Menu, select Settings, System Settings and then Battery.
