1.3 Charging 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.
To charge the battery
Connect the USB connector of the AC
adapter to the sync connector on your
device.
Plug in the AC adapter to an electrical
outlet to start charging the battery.
Note Only the AC adapter and USB sync cable
provided with your device must be used
to charge the device.

As the battery is being charged while the power is on, a charging icon 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.
Depending on the battery charging status, the Notification LED shows a green or an
amber light. See “Front panel” earlier in this chapter for details.
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.
