Charging the battery

Getting started

Use the charger to charge the battery before using it for the first time. A computer can be also used to charge the device by connecting them via the USB cable.

•When the battery power is low, the device emits a warning tone and displays a low battery power message.

Charging with the charger

Connect the USB cable to the USB power adaptor and then plug the end of the USB cable into the multipurpose jack.

Connecting the charger improperly may cause serious damage to the device. Any damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.

•The device can be used while it is charging, but it may take longer to fully charge the battery.

•If the device receives an unstable power supply while charging, the touch screen may not function. If this happens, unplug the charger from the device.

•While charging, the device may heat up. This is normal and should not affect the device’s lifespan or performance. If the battery gets hotter than usual, the charger may stop charging.
