396 Battery Level Check

Post by twowheelstom »

being new to the 396 Zumo, the 550 has a battery level icon that shows battery charge level, but where on the 396 can the battery level be checked? I put the 396 on a wall charger but I don't see where I can check the battery charge level on the 396.

When it's turned on, and not in the cradle, the battery icon in the upper right will show a charge status/level. When it's in the cradle, it will show that it is charging, as long as the cradle has power.

If you press the battery icon, for about 10 seconds, then it'll show the state of the battery, charging current etc etc
