Charging the Battery
Your device has a built-in battery. Before using the device for the first time, you must charge
the battery for at least 3-4 hours. Use only Datawind approved chargers. Unauthorized
chargers may cause damage to your device and/or may lead to overcharging and/or explosion.
When your battery is low, the battery level indicator will
be very thin. If the battery level reaches a critical level, the device will automatically
turn off. Recharge the battery to continue use. Recharge the battery by first inserting the
cable into the charging head and then plugging the head into a standard AC power outlet. After
the charging is complete, unplug the charging head. Note that it is best to charge the device at
room temperature. It is not necessary to wait until the battery is completely drained before
recharging, you may charge at any time. Also, the battery will maintain its lifespan longer if it
is not left uncharged for periods of more than 2 weeks at a time.

Press and hold “ ” button for 3 seconds to power on the device. It can take up to a
minute and half to boot the system. After system boot is completed, it will enter

Press and hold “ ” button for 3 seconds. A menu will appear confirming that you would
like to power off.
Choose your desired option by tapping the corresponding item on the screen or Tap

Note: When the device’s battery is low, it will send continuous alerts and will shut down
automatically when the battery is empty. If the device fails to power on, please plug it into
an outlet to first check if the battery is empty. Please recharge the battery for at least one
minute before attempting to restart the device.
Orientation Sensor Setting
The device contains a sensor that will automatically change the orientation of most
screens as you rotate the smartphone. The sensor works best when the smartphone is rotated
perpendicular to the ground. ie: when the smartphone is held upright and not flat on its back.
The Orientation sensor can be activated or deactivated in the Setting menu:
Setting >Display >Auto-rotate screen. Check the box if you want to activate the sensor
or uncheck the box to deactivate it. (see picture below)

Using the Touch screen
Your device comes with a responsive touch screen which works as follows:
Tap: To activate an on-screen item (e.g., application icons, buttons, menu items, and the letter/symbols
of the on-screen keyboard), simply tap them with your fingertip or compatible stylus.
Double Tap: Quickly tap the screen twice on a webpage or other application screen to zoom (the
application must support the double-tap/zoom function). Within the browser, double-tapping a webpage
section will cause the browser to zoom and fit that section to the width of the screen.
Drag and drop: Drag an on-screen item to change its position (e.g., an application icon on the
home screen). To drag an item, touch and hold it for a moment, then without lifting your
fingertip/stylus, move your fingertip/stylus on the screen until the item reaches its target destination.
Swipe: Swipe up/down on the screen to scroll through a list. On some screens, you may be able to
swipe left/right to change the view. To swipe, touch the screen and then quickly move your
fingertip/stylus across the screen without lifting your fingertip/stylus. Do not pause on the screen with
your fingertip/stylus at the initial point of contact or you may accidentally drag an item instead.
Tap and hold: Some on-screen items have an alternate action if you touch and hold it (e.g., opening an
alternate menu, or to activate the drag function). To touch and hold an item, touch the item and do not
lift your fingertip/stylus until the action occurs. Tapping and holding an icon will allow you to move it once
it appears large.
Note: It is very important that you do not touch the screen with a body part or any foreign object
while switching on the device as this may interfere with the proper functioning of the device. To avoid
damage to the touch screen, do not use sharp tools. Do not allow the touch screen to come into
contact with other electrical devices, or water. For optimal use, remove the screen protection film
before using your device.
