4.Capacity Status and LED Indications
There are four (4) kinds of LED indication status for the TBB5 power capacity:
When charging: charging or fully charged.
When discharging: high electricity capacity or low electricity capacity.
Above LED indications status, please refer to the following chart as Figure A:

Note 1: Green light will shine continually which means the capacity is around 70%; it will take another extra 10 hours to
be fully charged. (Within warranty>90%)
Note 2: When TBB5 is under protection mode, the LED indication is continuously off.
Note 3: If the orange light shines continually, it means disconnection of TBB5 or electrical circuit failure. If any related
condition occurs, please contact our authorized sales agent or TiMOTION.

4.1 Remarks
From Hi charging status (around 80%) to fully charged (in warranty period > 90% max capacity), it needs
around additional 10hrs charging
When seeing the failure status indication, please contact manufacturer or distributor

It is highly recommended that TBB5 should be charged continuously at least 24hrs+ in the following
situations:
First operation
Before long time storage (long period of time when disconnected to AC power)
First operation after long time storage (long period of time when disconnected to AC power)
