Getting started

Where to use

Never leave this tablet in direct sunlight or any other strong light. For comfortable viewing, we recommend a soft light. Always make sure that direct sunlight does not fall on the screen. When the tablet is not in use, place it on a sturdy platform of which

the surface should be flat and steady, so the tablet can’t fall. Make sure the tablet is

stored in such a manner that nothing can fall on top of it, as pressure will damage or break the screen. Prevent insertion of small objects into the ventilation slots, or openings in the cabinet at all time.

Charging the battery

Important note: When the tablet was produced, the battery wasn't fully charged.

Before using the tablet for the first time, charge the battery for a minimum of 8 hours. If the battery isn't fully charged before using it for the first time, it may influence the battery lifetime.

Connect the AC adaptor to a wall outlet before you connect it with your tablet. When the battery is charging, the battery symbol displays as follows: .

Once the battery is fully charged, the battery symbol displays as follows: It is possible to use the tablet while charging. However, this will extend the charging time and reduces the battery lifetime. Note: You can also use an USB cable to charge the battery. However, this charging process takes more time. Remark: If the battery is empty, the tablet does not work during the first 30 minutes of charging.
