Charging the battery
Your device has an internal battery that may not be fully charged when you
purchase it. You should charge the battery for at least 8 hours before you start
using it for the very first time.
To charge the battery, use the supplied USB cable to connect the device to a
computer, USB charger or power adapter.
CAUTION:
For optimal performance of the lithium battery, note the following:
• Do not charge the battery where the temperature is high (e.g. in direct sunlight).
• Failure to follow the battery usage instructions could cause damage to your device,
battery and even bodily injury or property damage and will void the warranty.
• When storing the product for a long period of time, charge the battery to 50% –
