service appear to the left side of the signal bars.

 You have your Kindle plugged into power and the battery is either charging or is 

fully charged. The charge indicator light on the bottom of your Kindle also lights up. 

Note that if your Kindle is plugged into a low powered USB port such as those found

it.

  

  

  

The images above show the various states of the battery as it discharges. As you
