Note that these certificates only apply when the internal antenna is used.  
For resellers, or anyone who has to ship the device, the documents required by shipping services for 

battery safety are also provided at the link above.

Battery Charging 

While charging, the ‘Charge’ LED under the puck acts as a 4 level battery gauge.  
One short flash indicates a battery that is below 25%, two for 50%, three for 75%, and a solid indicator 

indicates a battery that is fully charged.
