# Charging

Plug the cable into the Insight (see photo below) ensuring the connector is fully inserted. Attach the cable to an active USB port on your PC or a USB charger. There is a red and green LED located xx which will light when the charge cable is fitted correctly, when charging is complete only the green LED will remain on.

Note the device requires 5V supply and will draw a maximum of 0.5A from the charge port. If plugged into a USB port on your PC, the Insight will check for the maximum available current from the port up to a limit of 0.5A. Note that if the port does not support extended power mode, Insight will draw 0.1A and will charge much more slowly. Try a different USB port if Insight takes more than 2 hours to reach full charge.<br>
