# Charging

![](/files/-LIeS-VHPxnYPgElQDNp)

It is recommended that your headset is fully charged prior to capture recordings. The charge time depends on the remaining capacity in the Lithium Polymer cell and can take up to four hours. If the power LED does not glow white when you turn it **On**, your EPOC+ requires charging. Please plug-in the provided USB Mini-B cable into the headset as shown above to USB port.

*Note 1: The headset will charge faster if it is connected to a dedicated USB port.*

*Note 2: If the headset is heavily depleted or hasn’t been used for a few months, leave it connected for 24 hours.*

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://emotiv.gitbook.io/epoc-user-manual/using-headset/charging.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
