- Alternatively, long press the power button for 3 seconds to turn it off from any mode.

- 1 LED: 0-25% charge
- 2 LEDs: 25-50% charge
- 3 LEDs: 50-75% charge
- 4 LEDs: 75-100% charge
During charging, the LEDs will flash to indicate progress. All four LEDs will remain solid when the battery is fully charged.
