Power and Battery Charging

The ONEt has a rechargeable battery which will give you usage on the move
when fully recharged. You can also use the power adapter plugged into mains

charge it for 8 hours to get the best battery life from your ONEt. Plug the power
adapter into the power port (see Appearance). When the battery is charging the

system to fully load.
