the batteries.

How long the batteries last depends on how you use your device. The time required to fully charge the
batteries 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.

additional two hours may be required. Batteries that are not fully depleted will require less time to
recharge.

while using the device.
