Microsoft surface 3 charging - Microsoft Tablets & eReaders

You should have had in the box with your Surface 3 Tablet a charger. It will have a plug with 2 points that is for your power plug, and at the other end you will have a natty little flat magnetised plug for the side of your Tablet. Mine is at the bottom right slot, looking at the screen of your Tablet. Now when the power is turned on, a small bright light will glow. That is now informing you that the battery in your Surface is being charged. Now at the bottom right of your Task bar, that is the Bar on the bottom of your screen where you can place program short cut Icons for your convenience. Now the speaker Icon which is there toward the right-hand side and has a cross if off, or a different look when on. Now the next icon on its right is the one that tells you how much charge is in the battery, if you touch it, it will come on to the screen informing you how much charge you have in the battery. If I'm using my Surface a lot and I do I keep it on charge while I work as a precaution to keeping my Surface well topped up. Hope this helps.
