General charging question

Hello, I am wondering about a few things of my new Pandora.


How come when I plug in my Pandora via USB, it comes on and when I try to shut down it just restarts? Is this normal? How would I go about turning off the system while charging if possible?
 
It's normal, most mobile devices never shutdown when charging. When you are charging on any modern phone and when you believe it's off it's just booted in a minimal charging mode, it's only truly off when you shutdown when it's off the charger. these mobile devices need some minimal processing to properly control charging. The Pandora doesn't have this minimal mode so it just reboots.

So just flip the power switch once and it will put the Pandora in low power mode, when it's in this low power mode it's only drawing about ~40mA and on a full battery It can be on for over a well over week in that mode without charging.
