Battery Information
This product contains an internal rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Under
normal operating conditions, a new battery will last 14-16 hours on a
full charge. However, battery life is diminished due to a variety of factors
including temperature and backlight usage. All rechargeable batteries lose
their eective charge length over time.
The internal battery can be charged by connecting the included USB cable
to the device and a computer. Alternatively, the battery can be charged by
connecting the USB cable to the device and using the included adapter to
plug the charger into a standard 110V wall outlet. The battery should be
charged for at least six hours before using the Neo for the rst time.
