1
into the multipurpose jack.
Connecting the charger improperly may cause serious damage to the device. Any
damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.
Plug the USB power adaptor into an electric socket.
2
After fully charging, disconnect the device from the charger. First unplug the charger
3
