Today, I wanted to share with you some information on how the BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet charges and how the power button works. Let’s start by talking about how the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet charges:

When you plug in your BlackBerry PlayBook tablet, if it is off and the battery is fully charged, it will turn on automatically. In the event the battery isn’t at 100%, it will not automatically turn on, and you’ll notice that BlackBerry PlayBook tablet displays a flashing yellow LED, which means is currently charging. In case you want to use it while it’s charging, all you need to do is tap the power button once and it will start up. When you are finished, you can leave the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet on or turn it off, and either way, it will continue to charge as long as it’s plugged in.
