Charging the Battery
Important! Always use the battery charger that came with your device. Any other charger may damage the
batteries. If you think your charger needs to be replaced, call the PRC Service Department at 800-262-1990;
outside the U.S., call your distributor. Service can determine if replacement is necessary and direct you to the
correct charger.
How long the battery lasts depends on how you use your device. You may be able to get up to 14 or 15 hours
of use from one charge, or you may use your device so heavily that a charge only lasts about 8 hours.
Check the battery status in the status display area to quickly view the battery’s charge level.
Note: You can also check the Advanced Settings’ Battery Status for battery information.
The time required to fully charge the battery varies depending on the charge level when the charge
begins. When the device needs charging, locate the charging port on the back of the device and connect
the battery charger.
Charging a Dangerously Low or Dead Battery
To fully charge a dangerously low battery will take about 10 hours. If the battery is totally dead, an
additional two hours may be required. Please note that battery status in the status display area will not
show a charge for the first few hours of charging. A battery that is not fully depleted will require less
time to recharge.
Note: If you need to use the device immediately, plug in the battery charger and leave it plugged in
while using the device.
Best Practice
Plug in your battery charger every night when you go to bed and any time you see the low battery
warning and/or see the low battery LED come on.
If you cannot plug in the charger overnight, it is best to power off the device to conserve battery charge.
The Battery/Charging LED
