Yes, that is normal to conserve battery. As long as you are still getting a connection there is nowt to worry about.

Thanks for responding

So that's normal even if I remove the battery and its power source is direct from the ac adapter?

As far as I can remember the Battery's Management will not let you run this Device without a Battery Installed, or it may Power Up without the Battery then Power Down again

As @XRaySpeX points out the Device will sleep the Status Leds after a period of time after Boot Up or Button Press under normal running conditions.

Another thing to consider is the Device will Auto Power Off after a time period in the absent of at least one WiFi Connection. 

These Devices can suffer from Battery issues, to check fully charge the Device before attempt to use it. 

But that's one of options which I was looking for and I'm pretty sure it's working without battery installed just with the cable connected to device,I suppose it's a problem which my device have,any help appreciated thanks.
