If the battery charge is below 95%, the battery begins charging and
the Status LED flashes green. (If the battery charge is higher than
95%, the battery will not charge, preventing battery overcharge.)
2. Check the level of charge. (See “Checking battery power status”
on page 52.)
The charging process continues until the battery charge reaches 100%.
