I'm new to this and there are no real instructions. 1. Does it have to be charged when first purchased. 2. When do you know when it's fully charged.

1. Yes. I charged mine right away. 2. Mine has 4 blue lights at the top, when fully charged they are lit.

Yes mine had to be charged when I first got it. There are 4 lights by where you plug in the charger, when all 4 lights are green it is fully charged.

You can charge it to be sure it is fully charged. Than you know. We didnt and feel good after a bit we will. Its fun to zap it and you can do this till its fully discharged the recharge.

You charge it by plugging into your computer. There is no battery to change. Mine lasts a LONG time before needing to charge and it doesn't seem to take very long to get fully charged. So if yours doesn't work after charging a few hours then it is defective.

Thanks everyone. However, I KNEW I where to press to turn it on. My problem was I charged it for 16 hours and when I pressed the button it did NOTHING. I messed around with it and then took the chance on charging it for about 12 more hours. I put it on the charger and smashed it in real hard and now I think it's working. Maybe I didn't have it fully in the charger. It seems weird that it just sits in there with no connection port. We'll see. I appreciate everyone taking the time to try and help. Happy Holidays.

HelloYou would better to charge the device for 2-3 hours for a full charge and then use the device. A full charge can use about 2-3 hours. After full of charge, the indicator light turns to green. Then you can use it without cord. Does not recommend to use it during charging all the time. Same theory with cell phone that it is not recommended to make a call when it is being charged as it may delivery higher currency. Lisa - NORLANYA

I threw mine out because I could never get it to charge again after the first time. The first time, you should charge it for about 12 hours.

Hi, ours is fairly new so I haven't let it sit real long, but it is holding well. It says to recharge after each use though. When we first charged it was real hard to tell how fully it was charged. There is an LED display, but not real helpful.

I had the same question after i received the charger, there were no instructions with it. It came wraped in a peice of plastic. I ended up purchasing a new charger with a digital guage so i could tell if the battery was fully charged.

I've never had mine actually die on me so I'm not sure what it takes to fully charge it. I use it and randomly charge it when I remember and never had any issues with it.

When new it comes already charged. When charging you don't need to turn it on.

Yes it must be charged first. Lights are blue. You can download a manual that will tell You everYthing about it.

I found the charging time to be about a 1.5 to 2 hours. There is a red/orange light that illuminates when you first plug it in. It will go out when it is fully charged.

don't count on any new battery to be fully charged! mine had a charge but I'm sure it was not 100% charged. Once installed your system should start charging it.

I don't know exactly, I just plug it, and leave it. whenever I remember it, I take it off the charge, and it'll be fully charged! If you put it in charge with less than %5 battery life, it'll take longer to be fully charged. I usually charge it whenever I use it, I plug it before I sleep, next morning will be fully charged!

Ansgar - I am sorry but I don't really know. When it arrived it was nearly fully charged. Since then I have usually just plugged it in every once in a while. I'll try to really run it down and they take note and try to pass the info on. Sorry I could not have been of more help.----M

I believe you were supposed to charge it for several hours when you first got it. I can't locate the paper that came with mine right this minute but I'm pretty sure that's what it said. In any case, it sounds like its no good and you need to return it.
