When your device is turned off, charging is indicated by a solid amber light on the LED indicator. When your device is turned on, charging is indicated by a solid amber light on the LED indicator as well as a charging icon ( ) on the Today screen.

After the battery has been fully charged, the LED indicator becomes green and a full battery icon ( ) appears on the Today screen.

The Power Settings screen will then open where you can see the current battery power level.

When the battery power gets very low, a warning message will be displayed. When you see this, immediately save your data by synchronizing with your PC, or save your data on a storage card, and then turn off your device. Do not attempt to restart your device until you have connected it with the power adapter.
