Charging the Device and Transferring Files

Your tablet contains a rechargeable (non-removable) 7000 mAh battery, which is
charged via the micro-USB port at the top of the device. A USB to micro-USB cable

and mains adapter are provided with the tablet. To charge it, follow these simple steps:

A) Using the mains adapter:

1. Plug the USB cable into the mains adapter.

2. Connect the mains adapter to any standard plug socket (220 V / 50 Hz).

3. Plug the other end of the cable into the micro-USB port on your tablet.

B) Using a laptop or desktop computer:

1. Plug the USB cable into a compatible USB port on your computer.

2. Plug the other end of the cable into the micro-USB port on your tablet.

The battery in your BQ Edison 3 / Edison 3 3G is non-removable. If it is removed
by anyone other than our Technical Support staff, your device could be damaged
and the warranty invalidated.

Allowing the battery to charge fully is recommended when you charge it for the

rst time as this will help calibrate the battery meter. Bear in mind that some

batteries perform better after a number of full charge/discharge cycles.

The time required to charge your device may vary slightly depending on whether
it is charged via the mains adapter or via a computer USB port.

les between the two devices (to/from the internal memory, or the MicroSD card,

if one is in use). This will allow you to use, copy or store images, videos, music, text
documents, etc. on one or both devices.

You can select the le transfer mode when you connect your bq Edison 3 / Edison
3 3G to a computer. Swipe down using one nger from the top of the screen in

order to display the various options for USB computer connection. The tablet will
be connected as a Media device (MTP) by default or you can also connect it as a

Camera (PTP).

There are a number of ways to transfer les. The steps below will show you how to
transfer them via USB:

1.

Connect your Edison 3 / Edison 3 3G to a computer using the micro-USB to USB

cable supplied. Insert the micro-USB connector into the corresponding port on
the device, and the generic USB connector into the corresponding port on the
computer.

2.

Select and copy the desired les onto your tablet or computer. Remember that

you can store them on either the internal memory or on the MicroSD card, if you
are using one.

To transfer files in MTP or PTP mode from your device (and/or MicroSD
card) onto a computer running Mac OS and vice versa, you will need
to download and install the free Android File Transfer app onto your

computer: www.android.com/filetransfer/.

browse a large quantity of artists and songs, purchase them and add them to
your own music collection.

Once you have downloaded the music onto your tablet, you can nd it by going to

the main menu in the Play Music app and selecting the My music option. You can
organise your music by genre, artist, album or song list.

You can also conduct a keyword search within your music library in order to locate
all the albums, songs, etc. that match the description you have entered.

Once you have selected a song, simply press it and a bar will scroll across the
screen displaying information about the song currently playing. To open the panel
of player options, press the bar located at the bottom of the screen. This panel

to get directions from your current location, either on foot or by car. It also provides

a location service to identify afliated companies and establishments.

Bear in mind that none of the above information (including the maps) is preloaded

will need to access your data connection, which could have cost implications
depending on your network operator’s mobile price plan and tariffs.

Important: The Edison 3 3G does not have this type of connection, to obtain
it you will need wireless connectivity via an external device (for example a

APPENDIX D: Information on Exposure to Radio Waves and SAR

(Specic Absorption Rate)

The design of this tablet complies with the current regulations governing exposure

to radio waves. These regulations are based on scientic guidelines that include

safety margins designed to ensure the safety of everyone, regardless of age or state
of health.

The guidelines on exposure to radio waves use a unit of measurement known as

the SAR (Specic Absorption Rate). SAR tests are carried out using standardised
methods, with the tablet transmitting at the highest certied level of power on all

the frequency bands it uses.

The maximum SAR levels recommended by the ICNIRP (International Commission
on Non Ionizing Radiation Protection) is 2 W/kg, measured on 10 g of tissue.

The highest SAR levels recorded for this tablet are as follows:

Edison 3 Edison 3 3G

When used in direct contact with the body 0,790 W/kg (10 g) 1,161 W/kg (10 g)

This device complies with the guidelines on exposure to radio frequency both when
it is used in the normal position next to the ear and when it is positioned at least 1.5

cm from the body. In order to send data les or messages, this device requires an
adequate network connection. On certain occasions, the transmission of data les

or messages may be delayed until an adequate connection becomes available. Until
the transmission has been completed, make sure you follow the instructions on the
separation distance mentioned above.
