Charging the device
Your Cervantes 4 contains a rechargeable 1500 mAh Li-ion battery (non-removable), which
is charged by connecting a USB cable to a computer or power socket.
To charge the battery via a computer, connect your ereader to it using the supplied USB
cable. Charging speed is greater if the device is connected to a power supply rather than a
computer.
To charge the battery via a mains adapter, connect the micro-USB end of the cable to the
device and the USB end to the AC/DC adapter, then plug the adapter into the socket.
The battery icon is located at the top of the screen. It shows the device’s charge status.
Flat battery.
Charging battery.
Battery charged.
The bar indicates the remaining charge.
A full charge is recommended when this is done for the first time. This will help calibrate the battery
meter. Note that some batteries perform better after completing a number of charge cycles. The time
required to charge your device can vary markedly depending on whether it is charged via a mains
adapter or a computer USB port.
To optimally charge the device we recommend using a 5 V 1 A charger.
The battery in your Cervantes 4 is non-removable. Removal by anyone other than our Technical Support
personnel may damage the device and invalidate the Warranty.

Maintaining the battery
Although the battery’s capacity decreases with use, its service life can be lengthened by
observing the following recommendations:
· Use the device at least once a week.
· Fully charge the battery on a regular basis. Never leave the battery totally flat for a
prolonged period of time.
· Keep the device and the battery away from heat sources at all times.
If the ereader only works when it is connected to the power supply, contact the retailer in
order to change the battery.
Transferring files
Files, such as books and documents, can be transferred between a microSD card and your
computer, allowing these to be saved on either of the two.
Follow these steps:
1. Insert the microSD card into the ereader as shown in the Inserting and Removing the MicroSD
Card section.
2. Connect the micro-USB end of the cable to the device and the USB end to the
computer. Tap Accept when the following text appears: Do you want to enable mass
storage mode? The device will be temporarily inoperative.
3. The computer will recognise the internal memory and/or microSD card as Removable
drives.
4. Copy the desired files from the computer to the microSD card and/or internal memory,
or vice versa.
5. Once done copying, safely remove the device from the computer and disconnect the
USB cable from the ereader and computer. The copied documents will be automatically
classified in your Library.
Do not remove the microSD card or unplug the cable while files are being transferred.
