  3. Connect the standard USB end to a USB power source (like a computer port or a USB wall adapter rated 5V/1A).
  4. The LED indicator will light up (usually red/orange) to show charging is in progress.
  5. When fully charged, the LED may turn off or change color (e.g., to green or blue, depending on model).
  6. Disconnect the cable once charging is complete.

WARNING! Do not use damaged cables. Do not charge near heat sources or flammable materials. Unplug the charger when not in use.
