Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
Note
Leaving a device plugged in depletes the high voltage Battery. Even when nothing is plugged in, the adapter draws small amount of power from the Battery whenever it's enabled. When the charge level of the high voltage Battery is very low, power shuts off and a message is displayed on the touchscreen and in the mobile app. Leaving a device plugged in does not deplete the low voltage battery.
