(Device is connected via USB)

The message "Charging: hh:mm" can't be displayed when the device is in
use, but the device does charge if USB charge is on.  Otherwise,
either the device relies on its battery or it quietly falls back on
host power (battery is over).  See "battery status" in the device
menu.

If the host is up then the device is available.

With a laptop, turn USB charge off when the laptop relies on battery
for its own, otherwise turn it on.

I have been using a BAUM SuperVario 40 with a laptop for a year, and
except at the first time, I never used its external power supply.
Maybe I even lost it...
