Initial charging time for your device's lithium-ion battery is approximately four hours. Recharging time is the same, depending on how discharged the battery has become. You can check how much charge is left in your battery in two places:

• Title Bar: Check the battery icon ( ). The icon will show a total of five bars when fully charged. In the example shown, the battery has an 80% charge (approximately).
• JUMP , MENU > Settings > Battery & Display screen: In the first section of the screen, you'll see an approximate measure of battery charge remaining.
  

If your battery has become completely discharged, your device will turn off automatically. Connect your device to the battery charger and let it charge completely--for at least four (4) hours. When you first connect the battery charger, the TRACKBALL on your device may flash a couple of times and it may take a few minutes for the device to come to life (if the battery was completely dead). When the device has enough power, a dialog box will appear, reminding you to keep your device connected to the battery charger and that your device will power on automatically when it has sufficient charge (about 10 minutes).
