About charging Charging the Reader is required when using for the first time. Turn on the Reader, and then charge in one of the following two ways. • Connect to a computer via USB (Refer to the Quick Start Guide and page 27). (Charging time: approx. 4 hours*) • Connect to an AC outlet using the AC power adapter and AC power cord (optional). (Charging time: approx. 2 hours*) * Approximate time required to fully charge the battery. Notes • When you connect the Reader to your computer, (indicating connection via USB) is displayed on the Reader's screen. If the battery has been fully depleted, it takes about 40 minutes until is displayed, and you will not be able to turn on the Reader by the POWER switch during this time. In this case, wait until is displayed. The indicator lights up in red while is not displayed, and the Reader is charged. • If the remaining battery power of a connected notebook computer is low, charging via USB connection may not be possible. • If you connect the Reader to a notebook computer which is not connected to an AC outlet, the battery of the notebook computer will be consumed. Do not leave the Reader connected to a notebook computer which is not connected to an AC outlet for an extended period. • Connecting the Reader via a USB hub or extension cable may not work and is not supported. Connect the USB cable directly to the computer. Continued 17 US
