# III.	Recharge the battery

1. To recharge your instrument, simply plug a cable into a USB port (computer, phone charger…). A light indicates the instrument is charging correctly. A full charge takes several hours. \

2. If the instrument is plugged in while operating, a menu appears and allows you to choose the action to perform:\
   \- "**Charge**" : Continue to use it (even in flight), and charge the battery.\
   \- "**Mass Storage**" : Connect the instrument to a computer as a "USB drive". \
   \- "**Syride Link**" : Connect the instrument for communication with the Syride Link software.\
   \
   ⚠️ **Important note:** The 2 modes "**Mass Storage**" and "**Syride Link**" stop the current flight recording if you activate them during a flight. Your instrument cannot be handled in these 2 modes: ![](/files/7ee4266f28ee0c4f0ccf1cbe543c559425a6a9c6)<br>
3. When operating and in 'Charge' mode, a swipe from top to bottom displays the information banner for a few seconds and allows you to check the battery charge status.\

4. Disconnect the instrument to stop its charging. The LI-ION battery has no memory effect.
