OPERATION

CHARGING THE BATTERY

The Backup Battery can be charged in two ways: via a powered USB device (like a laptop computer) or via a standard wall outlet. It is recommended to charge the Backup Battery before initial use and whenever the LOW BATTERY INDICATOR is flashing (indicating less than 20% power remaining).

To charge via USB device:

1. Extend the RETRACTABLE USB CABLE by pulling gently on both ends of the cable simultaneously.
2. Connect one end of the USB CABLE to the Backup Battery and the other end to your powered USB device.
3. The POWER INDICATOR will illuminate red. When the Backup Battery reaches 20% charge, it will illuminate blue. A tall bar on the indicator signifies 100% power, while a shorter bar indicates partial power.

To charge via standard wall outlet:

1. Extend the RETRACTABLE USB CABLE by pulling gently on both ends of the cable simultaneously.
2. Connect one end of the USB CABLE to the Backup Battery and the other end to the AC ADAPTER.
3. Plug the AC ADAPTER into a standard wall outlet.
4. The POWER INDICATOR will illuminate red. When the Backup Battery reaches 20% charge, it will illuminate blue. A tall bar on the indicator signifies 100% power, while a shorter bar indicates partial power.

Notes on Charging:

• The battery will be fully charged after approximately 3.5 hours.
• The battery can be connected to your iPod/iPhone while it is also charging (refer to "Using the Battery" section).
• To retract the USB CABLE, pull gently on both ends of the cable and then release.
