Recharge Battery
When a device does not have enough power to start up to the Home screen, recharge is an
appropriate troubleshooting step.
• The device may charge for over two minutes to get enough power to display the “Charging.
Please Wait” alert.
• The device may charge for up to ten minutes to get enough power to start up.
IMPORTANT: Only use the 10W USB Power Adapter when charging iPad from a power outlet.
While the Apple USB Power Adapter or iPod USB Power Adapter may appear to be compatible,
their power output is not sucient to charge the device. Note: The iPad 30-pin USB cable is
interchangeable with the iPod/iPhone 30-pin USB cable.
The iPad must have a sucient battery charge before proceeding with most troubleshooting.
Do not charge iPad with the computer port. If iPad is connected to a source that does not
provide enough power to suciently charge the device, the notication “Not charging” appears
next to the battery indicator in the status bar (top right corner).
Refer to the following article for more information on charging the iPad battery: http://www.

If either of these screens are present, keep iPad connected so it continues charging.
