AppendixⅠFrequently Asked Questions

• Q: Why won’t my device turn on?
  Make sure your tablet has been charged for at least four hours prior to use using the original power adapter included in the box. When plugging in the cable, make sure the cable is connected successfully.

• Q: Why does my unit have scratches/bubbles on the screen?
  These units ship with a very fine plastic film to protect the item in transit. This film is intended to be removed prior to use. Sometimes this takes a strong fingernail or some similar item to peel it off.

• Q: Should I perform a Firmware Update?
  Not necessarily. This is actually intended if obscure issues with the tablet occur. Unless you are having issues with the tablet which a Factory Data Reset has not resolved, it is not advised that you perform this step.
  

• Q: Why don’t I see a firmware version for my model?
  We are always working on providing the latest and best firmware for all of our devices. If you don’t see your specific model listed, please check back soon.

• Q: I don’t remember my password, what can I do?
  If you have previously added a Google account, you may be prompted for a password reminder if you fail the security 4 or 5 times. Otherwise, please refer
  to “Should I perform a Firmware Update?”.

• Q: How long should my battery last after charging?
  As for battery life, this depends on which model tablet you use. Our Android 9.0 tablet usually average around 2-4 hours. However, that is totally relative to factors such as how bright the screen is during use, how often it is using the wireless connection, what background processes are running, if you are using a Live Wallpaper, and more. It is very difficult to estimate the duration of a full charge in consideration of these issues. If this seems like abnormally poor performance, just let us know.

• Q: Why does my screen not respond properly when I use the touchscreen?
  This may be a couple of different things. If this only occurs when charging from a power supply, this may be due to noise from the power source not being adequately filtered out. You may wish to give the unit a full charge and then disconnect from power for use, or, if possible, charge with a USB cable instead.
