Getting Started
Package Contents
When you open your box please check your package is complete and all items are in good order.
Your box should contain:
7” ONEx CEWS7
UK Power Adapter
Guide Booklet
Guarantee card & WEEE Details
If you have anything missing or any items are damaged please contact your place of purchase.
Setting up your ONEx
Open the package and carefully remove the packaging. It’s recommended that you retain the package for the duration of the warranty period.
Your ONEx has a screen protector (a thin film to protect the screen during transit). Please use the tab to slowly and carefully remove this from the screen as it will reduce the quality of the screen.
Battery Charging
Your ONEx has a built in rechargeable lithium battery which is supplied with no charge in for transportation reasons. We recommend that you charge the battery for around 8 Hours for its first charge, to achieve the best battery life. You can still use the ONEx but it’s best to keep it plugged in for this charging period.
To maximise your battery life it is recommended that you always fully charge the battery and then use the ONEx unplugged until the battery power is low, at which point you can recharge the battery. Using full charging and draining cycles is much better than charging the battery bit by bit.
To charge the battery, simply connect the power adaptor to your wall socket and the power input and switch it on.
The LED Battery Indicator (at the bottom right of the ONEx) will
illuminate red.
Once the battery is fully charged the LED will turn off. You can see the battery charge status in the menu bar at the
top of your ONEx’s screen.
Only use the authorised UK power adaptor supplied.

module ON. Once the Wi-Fi is ON the tick will turn green. You can also press F8 and the Function key at the same time

automatically scan for available Wi-Fi hotspots.

connect. However if it ‘secure’, a password window will pop up letting you enter the correct password. For password details refer to your ISP or the staff at the internet cafe/coffee shop etc.
Your ONEx should now be connected to the internet.
Please Note: You can toggle the Wi-Fi module On and Off easily by pressing the Function button and F8 at the same time. Turning the Wi-Fi
off when you’re not using it will help you to maximise the battery life.
Wi-Fi Connection Troubleshooting
If you have trouble connecting to your Wi-Fi please check the following:
Check you have entered your password correctly by trying to
connect once more.
Check you have included any CaPiTaL letters as most
passwords are case sensitive
Check you haven’t got CAPS lock toggled ON. Check you have the correct password for the hotspot and it
hasn’t been changed.
If you still can’t connect there may be a temporary conflict with your
router’s security authentication. Please contact your Internet Service
Provider, requesting to temporarily lower the router’s security encryption to WEP which will allow the ONEx to connect to the internet.
Once connected, you should have no further problems with getting online you can request that the ISP return the encryption to its former status. This can all be done over the phone in a couple of minutes.
Tech Support
If you have any difficulties connecting to the internet please contact our support helpdesk on 0871 222 3456 (option 4) (national rate call).
