Charge the Battery

New batteries are shipped partially charged. Before you start using your device, it is recommended that you install and charge the battery. Some batteries perform best after several full charge/discharge cycles. You can charge the battery in two ways:

• Charging the device’s battery by connecting the power adapter.

• Connecting your device to a PC via the provided USB Sync cable.

Charging is indicated by a solid amber light on the left LED indicator. As the battery is being charged while the device’s power is on, a charging

icon ( ) will be shown on the Today screen.

After the battery has been fully charged, the left LED becomes green and a full battery icon ( ) appears on the Today screen.

Only the AC adapter and USB cable provided with your device should be used to charge the device.
