Power And Charging - Microsoft HoloLens User Manual

Power and Charging

The HoloLens power button is on the rear arm, opposite the micro-USB charging port and
beside the device status LEDs. One click of the button will turn the device on and another will
put it in 'Sleep' mode. Pushing and holding the power button for 5 seconds (while the device is
running) will shut the device down.
The HoloLens device is charged using a micro-USB cord and outlet connector. We recommend
that you always use the provided cord and brick to reduce the risk of over or under-charging.
When plugged in, the 5 status LED lights above the power button on the device will cycle. After
a few cycles they will stop and illuminate between 1 and 5 of the lights to show the current
battery charge. Once all 5 illuminate (after a cycle) the device is charged.
Note: The device will turn itself on when first plugged in if it is in 'Sleep' mode. If the sleep
settings on your device are set such that the device will run for a while when plugged in without
automatically shutting off, make sure to turn the device back off so that it charges faster.
