The status light will flash red when the inReach Explorer is running low on

port. Connect the inReach Explorer to the USB cable then to a USB port on your
computer or plug the cable into the AC adapter to charge from an electrical outlet. A
lightning bolt icon will appear on the upper right hand corner of the screen letting you
know the device is connected to external power. A charging percentage will also appear
letting you know how full the battery is. When the battery reaches 100% the lightning
bolt will change to a plug icon to indicate that the device is running on external power.

points, frequency of sending or receiving messages, display brightness, Bluetooth status,
etc.
Note: An exclamation point (!) will appear next to the battery percentage if you
are attempting to charge the inReach Explorer outside the supported temperature range
