# III.	Recharging the battery

1. Simply connect your instrument’s USB to a computer. A light shows the right loading of the device.

2. Your instrument will display “Charging…” and the percentage of charge. To complete, a charge requires 2 hours.

3. Disconnect USB to stop the charge. Your instrument has a Li-ion battery, which has no memory effect.&#x20;
