Do not insert battery chargers from previous Sidekick models into the stereo headset jack.If you attach your device to your computer via USB, be aware that the power received may not be enough to charge your device. For example, when computers are in “sleep” mode, only a trickle charge may be supplied via USB. In this situation you can lose more power than you gain.1 Attach the battery charger to your device.Locate the battery charger that came in the box with your device. Insert the charger’s USB lead (plug) into your device’s USB port. Now plug the power cord into a standard electrical wall outlet. An orange charge indicator light will go on and a lightning bolt icon will appear over the battery icon in the title bar, indicating the charger is connected and the battery is charging.

-15-2 Let the device charge for at least four (4) hours.Put the device in a safe place and let the battery charge for at least four hours with the device powered on. As the device is charging, the bars in the battery icon fill repeatedly from left to right. When your device is fully charged, the lightning bolt icon will disappear and the bars will stop moving and remain in the filled position. 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 to recharge.
