Charging the Battery
Important!
Always use the battery charger that came with your device. Any other charger may damage
the battery.
How long the battery lasts depends on how you use your device. You may be able to get up to 18 hours
of use from one charge, or you may use your device so heavily that a charge only lasts about 10 hours.
Check the battery status next to the battery icon
in the status display area to quickly view the
battery’s charge level.
Note:
You can also check the Maintenance Menu’s
Battery Menu for battery information.
The time required to fully charge the battery varies depending on the charge level when the charge
begins. When the device needs charging, locate the charging port on the back of the device and connect
the battery charger.
Charging a Dangerously Low or Dead Battery
To fully charge a dangerously low battery will take about 10 hours. If the battery is totally dead, an
additional two hours may be required. Please note that battery status next to the battery icon
in
the status display area will not show a charge for the first few hours of charging.
A battery that is not fully depleted will require less time to recharge.
Best Practice
Plug in your battery charger every night when you go to bed and any time you see the low battery
warning and/or see the low battery LED come on.
If you cannot plug in the charger overnight, it is best to power off the device to conserve battery charge.
The Battery/Charging LED
When the device is on and the charger is NOT plugged into the device:
•
The battery/charging LED is not illuminated.
•
When the battery has less than 15% (about three hours) of its power remaining, the
battery/charging LED will glow red.
When the device is plugged into the charger:
•
If the device is on:
The battery/charging LED will glow yellow. When the device is fully charged,
the LED will turn green.
•
If the device is off:
The battery/charging LED will glow yellow. When the device is fully charged,
the LED will turn off.
