I wondered the same thing. My EZPro arrived this afternoon and I plugged it in first thing, taking care not to touch the power button. As soon as I put it on the [included] charger the screen came on. The light in the upper left corner went red, then orange, but it was dimly lit.

After about an hour it started blinking. At first it was blinking orange, but what the color was depended on what angle I looked at it from: it was either red or orange.

After about three hours it started blinking strongly. For several minutes it blinked orange; next it blinked red for several minutes, finally it started blinking orange for a few seconds followed by blinking green followed by blinking red before going back to orange.

After three hours and fifty-five minutes the light went out and it hasn't come back on.

The manual reads:

"The battery can also be charged by power adapter. Connect the device to the power adapter, and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet. It takes about 3~4 hours to charge the battery. Anb orange light will flash while the battery is charging and a green light will shine steady when the battery is fully charged.
DO NOT remove the battery while it is charging.
The battery power icon is on the bottom right corner of the screen. When the icon indicates a low battery, please recharge the battery.
The device can be used while it is charging, but the charging time will be increased.
If the power of the battery is low, the indicator may be red. When the indicator is red, the device cannot be turned on. after the battery is fully charged, the device will work again.
"

There were a few things happening that were not mentioned in the manual. The icon in the bottom right doesn't look like any of the icons in the manual either. I hope that is just because it isn't calibrated yet.

No answers or questions in this post. Just observations.
