The @Tab has a built-in battery. Before using the device for the first time, you must
fully charge the battery. The @Tab should be charged via the USB cable provided,
which can be connected to a PC or other USB charging source.
When your battery charge is low, the device will emit a warning tone and display a low
battery message. The battery icon will also be empty. If the battery charge becomes
too low, the @Tab will automatically power off.
If the battery is completely discharged, the @Tab will not turn on. Allow a depleted
battery to charge for a few minutes before you try to turn on the device.
Charging via USB

2. Plug the USB cable into a USB power source (power adapter, PC, Laptop etc.).
When it is charging, the battery symbol in the bottom right hand corner of the desktop
will show a charging (lightning) symbol .
When the battery is fully charged (no lightning symbol in the battery icon), unplug the
power adapter or USB cable from the @Tab and then from the power socket. To save
energy, unplug or turn off the power adapter at the socket, when not in use.
Note: You can use the @Tab while it is charging, but it may take longer to charge.
While the @Tab is charging, the touch screen may not function correctly. If this
happens, unplug the power adapter from the device in order to use it.
