Battery

Charging the battery

Charge the battery before using it for the first time or when it has been unused for
extended periods.

Use only WESTECH-approved chargers, batteries, and cables. Unapproved
chargers or cables can cause the battery to explode or damage the device.

1 Connect the USB cable to the USB power adaptor, and then plug the end of the USB

cable 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.

Basics

8

2 Plug the USB power adaptor into an electric socket.
3 After fully charging, disconnect the device from the charger. First unplug the charger

from the device, and then unplug it from the electric socket.

To save energy, unplug the charger when not in use. The charger does not have a

power switch, so you must unplug the charger from the electric socket when not
in use to avoid wasting power. The charger should remain close to the electric socket
and easily accessible while charging.

Viewing the remaining charging time

While charging, open the Home screen and tap Apps → Settings → Battery.

The actual charging time may vary depending on the status of your device and the

charging conditions. The remaining charging time may not be displayed when you
charge the device in very cold or very hot conditions.

Reducing the battery consumption

Your device provides various options that help you conserve battery power.

• Optimise the device using the Smart manager.

• When you are not using the device, switch to sleep mode by pressing the Power key.

• Activate power saving mode.

• Close unnecessary apps.

• Deactivate the Bluetooth feature when not in use.

• Deactivate the Wi-Fi feature when not in use.

• Deactivate auto-syncing of apps that need to be synced, such as emails.

• Decrease the backlight time.

• Decrease the screen brightness.

Battery charging tips and precautions

• When the battery power is low, the battery icon appears empty.

• If the battery is completely discharged, the device cannot be turned on immediately

when the charger is connected. Allow a depleted battery to charge for a few
minutes before turning on the device.

Basics

9

• If you use multiple apps at once, network apps, or apps that need a connection to

another device, the battery will drain quickly. To avoid losing power during a data
transfer, always use these apps after fully charging the battery.

• Using a power source other than the charger, such as a computer, may result in a

slower charging speed due to a lower electric current.

• The device can be used while it is charging, but it may take longer to fully charge the

battery.

• If the device receives an unstable power supply while charging, the touchscreen

may not function. If this happens, unplug the charger from the device.

• While charging, the device and the charger may heat up. This is normal and should

not affect the device’s lifespan or performance. If the battery gets hotter than usual,

the charger may stop charging.

• If you charge the device while the multipurpose jack is wet, the device may be

damaged.
Thoroughly dry the multipurpose jack before charging the device.

• If the device is not charging properly, contact WESTECH.

• While charging the battery when the device is turned off, the icon appears on the

screen.

• You cannot use the built-in fast charging feature when you charge the

battery using a standard battery charger.

• If the device heats up or the ambient air temperature rises, the charging speed may

decrease automatically. This is a normal operating condition to prevent damage to
the device.

Power saving mode

Save the battery power by limiting the device’s functions.
On the Home screen, tap Apps → Settings → Battery → Power saving mode, and then

tap the switch to activate it.
To automatically activate power saving mode when the remaining battery power

reaches the preset level, tap Start power saving and select an option.

Use this mode to extend the device’s battery power. In ultra power saving mode, the

device performs the following:

Basics

10
