into a powered dock or the USB Travel Charger.)
Lynx will automatically power on once the battery is installed.
Charging the Battery
When using your Lynx for the first time, charge the battery until fully charged. Then use your Lynx until the battery is
completely drained. This charge/discharge cycle calibrates the battery level meter so that it accurately reports the state
of the battery.
Lynx’s battery can be charged by using the USB Travel Charger and USB Cable. Connect the larger end of the USB Cable
into the bottom of Lynx, and the smaller end into the bottom of the USB Travel Charger. Plug the charger into an
electrical outlet.
