How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on how you use HTC Jetstream. The features and accessories you use can affect battery life. For example, leaving your Bluetooth® connection always on uses more power. Frequent web browsing also uses up a lot of battery power. Charging the battery The battery is partially charged when shipped. Before you turn on and start using HTC Jetstream, it is recommended that you charge the battery. Some batteries perform best after several full charge/discharge cycles. Only the power adapter provided in the box must be used to charge the battery. 1. Plug the power adapter into the USB connector of HTC Jetstream. 2. Plug in the power adapter to an electrical outlet to start charging the battery. As the battery is being charged, the notification LED shows a solid orange light. The light turns to solid green when HTC Jetstream is fully charged. When you charge the battery while HTC Jetstream is on, the charging battery icon is displayed in your tablet’s status bar.
