Hi Sharon, Congrats on the new braillenote. You should probably charge it before trying to run it off the battery very much. It will take 3 or 4 hours to charge fully and you can use it while charging although you might plug it in to charge and wait a few minutes before attempting to use it.
You can check the battery level by turning on the bn, pressing space with o or function with o (depending on which keyboard you have) and you should see the display say Options menu. Then press p and you will see the percent charged for the battery. If you turn it on prior to the first charge it will probably work okay for a few minutes just to maybe check it out, but I really wouldnt try to do much until you either have it on charge or fully charged.

Can i use it while it is charging or should I wait?
