Blackberry RIM 850 Installation & Getting Started Manual page 24

24 Getting started — Before you begin
When the charging cradle and handheld are connected
and the charging cradle is plugged into a power source,
the green LED on the cradle will be solid for a period of
time, in which the cradle is detecting and testing the
battery. The charging cradle then begins a charging
cycle.
During this charging cycle, the green LED on the
charging cradle will flash continually and the icon,
located in the top right corner of the Home screen will
change to a charging icon.
When charging is complete, the green LED returns to a
solid green light. If the green LED turns off at any point
during the charging cycle, there may be a problem with
the battery, the charging cradle, or one or more of the
connections, (e.g. the AC adapter, the handheld). A
complete charging cycle may take as long as 8 hours but
it will typically take less time to fully recharge the
battery.
Recharging tips
Follow these practices for charging your pager-sized
handheld to ensure that you get maximum battery
performance.

Installation and Getting Started Guide
Allow the handheld to complete its charging cycle
every time you attempt to charge it. Do not remove
the handheld from the cradle while the green LED
is flashing. A charging cycle is complete when the
green LED is solid.
