When to Charge the Battery
When the battery is low and only a few minutes of

Viewing a percentage value can provide a better idea
of the remaining charge on the battery. For more
information, see “Battery” on page109.
While charging, the device and the charger may
become hot. This does not affect the device’s lifespan
or performance and is in the device’s normal range of
operation.
The charger may stop charging if the battery becomes
too hot.
If the device heats up while charging the battery:
