Using the Drive on Internal Power

Charging the internal battery

When the drive is connected to a power outlet, it automatically charges the internal battery. Be sure to charge the internal battery after buying the drive or after an extended period of disuse. When the internal battery is completely depleted, it takes approximately 4 hours to fully charge it.

If you recharge the internal battery after using it, charge time may be shorter than 4 hours.

The internal battery is also charged when you set the drive on the cradle and the cradle is connected to the power outlet.

For details about the internal battery, see “Power” (page 34).
