Assembly

Charge the battery

Before using the device for the first time, you must charge the battery.
Use only EVOLVE III approved chargers and cables. Unauthorised chargers or cables can cause
batteries to explode or damage your device.

1. Connect the power adapter cable to the DC connector.

2. Plug the power adapter into a power outlet.

While the device is charging, the touch screen and the touch keys may not function due to an unstable
power supply. If this happens, unplug the power adapter from the power outlet or unplug the cable
from the device.

3. When the battery is fully charged, unplug the power adapter from the device and then from t

he

power outlet.

To save energy, unplug the power adapter when not in use. The power adapter does not have a power
switch, so you must unplug the power adapter from the outlet to interrupt the power supply. The power
adapter should remain close to the socket when in use.
