Getting Ready to Test and Compete
Before beginning any lessons in this Unit, you will need to check that your Battery is charged.
Check Battery Levels
Watch this animation and follow along to check your Battery's charge. If you have a low Battery, follow the steps below to charge your Battery.
In the animation, the Battery is first inserted into the Brain. Then the Check button is pressed. The Brain's screen shows a “Low Battery” message. The ‘X’ button is pressed to return to the Home Screen.
Your Battery level can also be checked by using the indicator lights on the side of the Battery. Watch the following animation to see how to check the Battery level using the indicator lights.
In the video, a finger presses the button to the left of the four indicator lights on the Battery, and the first light glows green.
- 1 light: 0-25% charge
- 2 lights: 25-50% charge
- 3 lights: 50-75% charge
- 4 lights: 75-100% charge
Charge Battery
View this animation to learn how to charge your Battery.
In the video, a USB-C Cable is plugged into the USB-C port on the Battery. The first green indicator light glows steadily, and the second green indicator light flashes, to show the Battery is charging.
Once you know you have a charged Battery, insert the Battery into your Brain.
