A red low battery icon will appear on your Zune MP3 player’s display as its rechargeable battery begins to lose power. The screen may even turn black if the battery drains to the point that it doesn’t have enough charge to power the device. In either situation, you must recharge the battery to continue using Zune. You can charge it using a charger; or you can charge it via the Zune USB Sync cable through another device that has a high-power USB port. Tips Warnings Writer Bio
