Getting Started

CHARGING THE BATTERY

The battery of your Device is not fully charged as you unpack it, so you

need to charge it for 8-10 hours. It’s strongly recommended to keep

the Device off during the first charge, otherwise power consumption
may be more, than charging, especially when you charge it from PC.
Follow next steps to charge the battery:

1. Make sure the Device is off. In opposite case, press On/Off button

for a few seconds and select Power Off in menu appeared. The Device
will shut down.

2. Connect your Device to a computer or power supply using the

micro-USB cable included in package.

NOTE It’s recommended to charge the battery using the charging device. In

case if you charge the battery from PC, it’s better to keep the Device off, because

power consumption may be more, than charging.
