Getting Started

Charging the Battery

Connect the power adapter from the wall plug to the Tablet as shown. It is recommended to
fully charge the battery before first use.

NOTE: It takes approximately five hours to recharge the battery via AC power and it is normal

depending on display settings, apps that remain open, and your internet usage.

Battery Care

Operating Temperature: Your Tablet is designed to function between 32°F and 95°F (or 0°C to

35°C). Lithium-polymer batteries are sensitive to higher temperatures, so keep your Tablet out of
direct sun light and don’t leave it in a closed environment susceptible to extreme temperatures
(ie: such as a vehicle).

Recharge Battery: Recharge the battery whenever it is convenient; it is also recommended to

run the battery down to 10% at least once a month and recharge it.
