1) Look for the date code underneath the battery in the battery
   compartment.
2) If the date code is 20080722 or later, the Neo should boot and run
   without a charged battery when connected to the charger or a USB host.
3) If the date code is 20080718 or earlier, the Neo will not boot without
   a battery that has at least some charge in it. You will need to borrow a
   charged, compatible battery[1] or get hold of an external charger.
