Charge the battery only with a charger. You cannot
charge the battery with the USB cable.

●

When your battery is low, the device will emit a warning
tone and display a low battery message. The battery
icon

will also be empty. If the battery level becomes
too low, the device will automatically power off.
Recharge your battery to continue using your device.

●

If the battery is completely discharged, you cannot
turn on the device, even with the USB power adapter
connected. Allow a depleted battery to charge for a
few minutes before you try to turn on the device.

not function due to an unstable power supply. If
this happens, unplug the USB power adapter from
the power outlet or unplug the USB cable from the
device.

power adapter and USB cable from the device and then
from the power outlet.

To save energy, unplug the USB power adapter when
not in use. The USB power adapter does not have a
power switch, so you must unplug the USB power
adapter from the outlet when not in use to avoid
wasting power. The USB power adapter should remain
close to the socket when in use.
