Device Basics Battery Charger Your device comes with a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion polymer battery. The battery should be fully charged when you receive your device, but if it isn't, follow the instructions below to charge the battery. Warning Only use the battery charger provided with your device to charge your battery, or you risk damaging your device. 1 Attach the battery charger to your device. Locate the battery charger that came with your device in the box. Insert the charger lead (the small round end of the adapter) into your device's power jack (the small round hole located on the lower right side of your device) and plug the power cord into a standard electrical wall outlet. A lightning bolt icon will appear over the battery icon (in the title bar), indicating the charger is connected and the battery is charging. Note that if your device has discharged completely, it may take up to 15 minutes before you see any indication of charging on the screen. 16 Device Basics 2 Let the device charge for at least four (4) hours. Rest the device in a safe place and let the battery charge for at least four hours, or overnight, to ensure maximum battery life. As the device is charging, you will see the bars in the battery icon fill repeatedly from left to right in an animated fashion. When your device is fully-charged, the lightning bolt icon will disappear and the bars will stop moving and remain in the filled position. Tip For efficient operation, charge your device nightly. If you plan to leave your device unattended for an extended period of time, be aware that the battery will discharge after two days if it is turned on and not attached to the charger. If your device does fully discharge, simply attach it to the charger; all your data will be restored from the service. USB Port The USB port is located under a cover between the power jack and headset jack on the right side of your device. Although the current hardware version of the device has a USB port, it is primarily used by developers as they create new device applications, ringtones, and services. There are no immediate plans to expand the functionality of the USB port. Wrist Strap Holder To carry your device securely, use a wrist strap with a flexible loop on one end. (Straps are optional accessories.) Thread the loop under the strap holder and through the "tunnel" on the back of your device, near the Power button.
