Charging is indicated by a “breathing” white light around the Navigation
Control. As the battery is being charged while the power is on, a charging
icon also appears in the title bar of the Home screen. After the battery
has been fully charged, the Navigation Control LED shows a solid white light
and a full battery icon appears in the title bar of the Home screen.
For more information about the Navigation Control LED, see “LED Alerts” in
this chapter.
Warning! • Do not remove the battery from the device while you are charging it
using the AC or car adapter.
• As a safety precaution, the battery stops charging when it overheats.
