Tineco offers two ways to charge your device: with or without the mount. If you choose to charge without the mount, you'll need to remove the battery cover and insert the charging cable directly into the charging port. Be sure to line up the charging cable's + symbol with the port's + symbol before inserting. Once connected, the LED light on the charging port will turn red, indicating that it's charging. You can then reattach the battery cover and continue using your Tineco as normal.
