1.4 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.
Note Only the AC adapter and USB sync cable provided with your device must be used to charge the device. Use of
unauthorized AC adapters and USB sync cables can impact the performance of your device.
Connect the USB connector of the AC adapter to the sync connector on your device, and then plug in the AC
adapter to an electrical outlet to start charging the battery.
Charging is indicated by a solid amber light on the Notification LED. As the battery is being charged while the

charged, a full battery icon appears in the title bar of the Home screen.
