Getting Started

IN THIS SECTION…
You will get to know how to make the Device operable for
the rst time and learn about its basic interface and control
features.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

The battery of your Device is not fully charged as you un-
pack it, so you need to charge it for 8-12 hours. It’s strongly recommended to keep the Device off during the rst 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.
3. LED indicator will start blinking green as soon as
charging process starts.
4. When the battery is fully charged, the indicator turns
solid green. Now you can disconnect the micro-USB cable.
11
GETTING STARTED
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.

INSERTING MICRO SD CARD

In case if the Device ‘freezes’ doesn’t respond on screen touch­es or hardware key press, you can use the force off feature. To proceed, press and hold power button for 10 seconds until the
Device goes off. If you will continue holding power button for 5 more seconds, the Device’s power management system will
completely reboot. To switch the Device on, press again the power button as usual.
ATTENTION! Please, try to use this feature as rarely, as it possible, because it
adversely affects the hardware components of the Device. For example, if the
Device ‘freezes’ wait for 1-2 minutes before use the reset.

Certicationinformation(SAR)
The device meets guidelines for exposure to radio waves
Your device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not
to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended
81
COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS
by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed
by the independent scientic organization ICNIRP and include
safety margins designed to assure the protection of all per­sons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure guidelines for devices employ a unit of measure-
ment known as the Specic Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the ICNIRP guidelines is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of tissue. Tests for SAR are
conducted using standard operating positions with the device
transmitting at its highest certied power level in all tested
frequency bands.
This equipment complies with the European Council Recom-
mendation of 12 July 1999 on the Limitation of Exposure of the General Public to Electromagnetic Fields [1999/519/EC].
