Chapter 2: Getting Started

Installing Micro SD card/ SAM card/ SIM card (optional)

Important: Turn your device off before installing or removing a card. Be careful not to bend or scratch the card

and avoid exposing it to static electricity, water, or dirt. Keep cards out of the reach of small children.

Insert the card carefully as the shown below. Make sure that terminal part is correctly faced down
before inserting. Push the back end of the card to firm position.

Note

 Do not force too much when inserting the micro SD card. The micro SD card may be damaged.
 If you install the micro SD card in the wrong position, the micro SD card may be damaged or it may cause the

malfunction of the micro SD card slot.
 Keep the terminal part of the micro SD card clean and swipe the dust off the terminal part of the micro SD card.

Since the micro SD card is a consuming product, it may not be able to save data upon the end of its lifespan or

if used over certain times. In this case, it must be replaced with a new micro SD card.

You may need to fully charge the battery before using your terminal for the first time.

Note

Battery Maintenance

Lithium-ion batteries have a limited life, which is affected by several factors; environment, storage, the number of charge/
discharge cycles, and level of discharge/charge.

To extend battery life, we recommend following these simple guidelines;

 Avoid heat and humidity
 If the terminal is not used regularly, fully recharge the battery at least once per month.
 Do not leave the terminal connected to a charging device for more than 3 days.
 Only use charging adapters that are approved
 In case of storing terminal for 3 months or longer,

- The best temperature for proper care and storage is between 0~25°C

- It can cause batteries to discharge deeply, which can deteriorate the cell and reduce battery capacity,

service life, and the ability to recharge. Therefore, it is recommended that the battery be fully charged
before putting into the terminal and that it gets recharged fully every three months while in storage.

 Update the terminal Operating System as new updates come available. OS updates may contain new programs

to optimize battery life.

Transportation

The contained lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legislation requirements. The user can transport
the batteries by road without further requirements. When being transported by third parties (e.g.: air transport or
forwarding agency), special requirements on packaging and labeling must be observed. For preparation of the item being
shipped, consulting with a hazardous material expert is required.

Disposal

Rechargeable batteries must be recycled for environmental friendly purposes. Do not dispose batteries into household
waste. According to the European Guideline 2006/66/EC, defective or used battery packs/ batteries must be collected
separately and disposed in an environmentally correct manner. Batteries that is no longer suitable for use can be directly
returned at:

Chapter 2: Getting Started

Connecting power source

Connect power using one of the methods listed below.

Caution Verify that the terminal battery is installed prior to the connection. If the battery is not properly installed

and is connected to the wall charger, the terminal may power on and off continuously, preventing proper operation.

Note

 Failure to unplug the wall charger before removing the battery may cause damage to the terminal.
 The charging unit varies by country or region.

 Use only the USB charging unit and micro USB cable that come with your device. Using a different charging unit

or cable may damage your device.
 To avoid risk of injury or damaging your device, peel the protective film from the USB charging unit and USB

cable before charging the battery.
 The input voltage ranges between the wall outlet and this charging unit is AC 100V–240V, and the charging unit’s

output voltage is DC 5V, 3A

 Your DS6 can be charged via the USB port on a computer only when DS6 is in sleep mode (screen off) or

turned off. Charging through the USB port will take longer than charging with the USB charging unit.

To use Micro USB Travel Charger

1. Plug the flat end of the mini USB Travel Charger into the Power interface connector

and the other end into standard AC wall outlet

2. When charging is finished, remove the flat end from the interface connector jack on

the terminal
