When to Charge the Battery
When the battery is low and only a few minutes of 
operation remain, the device sounds a warning tone 
at regular intervals. In this condition, your device 
conserves its remaining battery power by dimming 
the screen. When the battery level becomes too low, 
the device automatically turns off.
For a quick check of your battery level:
 ►View the battery charge indicator located in the 
top right corner of your device’s display. A solid 
color (  ) indicates a full charge.
You can also choose to display a percentage 
value. Viewing a percentage value can provide a 
better idea of the remaining charge on the battery. 
For more information, see Battery .
