Once fully recharged, the indicated LED on the right side of the unit will turn off. At this point you may remove the wall plug and stop charging.

Precautions related to Battery Recharge:

1. Once the battery is fully discharged, immediately recharge (regardless of whether you plan to use battery or not) in order to maximize battery life.
