Troubleshooting

• This U b i s l a t e 7 C + is a capacitive touch screen device. It requires a simple connection between your finger and the screen in order for the touch to be registered. At times instead of using your finger, a stylus made for capacitive touch screen devices may be used. Do not use a pointy object or one that could scratch the surface of the device.

• Should you find that the software on the Ubislate7C+ does not respond to any commands, refuses to turn off or on, or any hardware component is not functioning properly, you may have to do hardware reset. This is accomplished (after turning off the device if possible) by inserting a pin into the reset key on the underside of the Ubislate7C+ and pressing the pin until the reset pin clicks.

• If your device is not powering on try following things

  • Depress the power button until you feel a slight click then hold for 2 -3 seconds. Do not force the button beyond the click, as you risk damaging it.

  • Execute a hard reset of the unit (using a pin through the reset hole)

• If the powering on process does not complete, reset the unit and try again.

• If there is no sound coming from the speakers, check to see that the volume level is
  Not set to 0, or check whether or not the audio file that you are listening to is not damaged by using it on another device or trying other files on this one.

• If you are having trouble copying files, check to see if your PC connection is set up properly, if the USB cable is properly attached, or whether there is enough available memory capacity on the drive in question.
