1.4Charging 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.
Note Only the AC adapter and USB sync cable provided with your device must be used to charge the device.
Connect the USB connector of the AC adapter to the sync connector on your device, and then plug in the AC adapter to an electrical outlet to start charging the battery.
Charging is indicated by a solid amber light on the Notification LED. As the battery is being charged while the device is on, a charging icon also 
appears in the title bar of the Home screen. After the battery has been fully charged, a full battery icon 
appears in the title bar of the Home screen.
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 before it overheats.
