STEP 1. Charging the Battery:
The battery is not fully charged and it is highly recommended that you charge
your LIBRE before you begin using it.
Note: Using the LIBRE “out of the box” will not harm the device. You will experi-
ence reduced battery life as the unit will not be fully charged.
Connect the power adapter to the LIBRE’s USB port and you will see an anima-
tion of a battery charging on the LIBRE’s display. Please charge the battery for a
minimum of six (6) hours using the power adapter. You may also charge the
battery by connecting your LIBRE to the USB port of your PC using the USB
cable included with your LIBRE. However, using this method will extend the
charging time to approximately 12 (twelve) hours.
Please note, the animation simply informs the user that the LIBRE is in charging
mode. Please do not rely on the animation to verify the battery level. To verify the
battery level, press the Menu button, select Settings, and Power Management.
