Charging the battery
The battery m ay not be fully charged at first. It’s a good idea to fully charge it as soon as you get a
chance, and for at least 6 to 8 hours prior to use. The best way to charge your Clear tablet is by
connecting it to its wall charger ensuring that the charging pin o f the wall charger is carefully
inserted it into the charging port. Do not force the charging tip into the power port or wiggle it
around. Failure to follow these guideli nes will result in damaging your power port and may be
considered incidental, accidental, or physical damage to your tablet which would not be covered
under Winte c Industries’ limited 1 year warranty. Here are some basic guidelines:
Use only the charging unit and micro USB cable that come s with your FileMate Clear.
Using a different charging unit or cable may damage your t ablet. If you nee d a replacement
wall charger, please contact Wintec Industries’ customer support team at 1-866-989-4683.
The best power source is the charging unit that comes with your tablet. Other sources, such
as a laptop, may not work as well or may damage your Clear. Using non-approved or generic
chargers may damage the power port which is not covered under the 1 year limited warranty
with Wintec Industries.
The tablet charges faster when you’re not using it. So, please power your Clear off and let it
charge.
Have a charging routine is best. Decide where and when you plan to charge your Clear.
It is not recommended to use and charge your Clear at the same time. There is a possibility
of bending or flexing the charging port causing physical distress or damage.

It is not recommended to charge or use your FileMate Clear while driving. The voltage o utput
from your vehicle is different and may damage your FileMate Clear.
The input voltage range between the wall outlet and this charging unit is AC 100V–240V, and
the charging unit’s output volt-age is DC 5V, 2A.
The Clear’s battery can’t be removed. Don’t attempt to o pen the C l ear.
Openin g your Cle a r will v i o l ate your l imited 1 y ear war r a n ty with W i ntec In d u stries.
