Getting started

Charging the tablet
Use ONLY the included AC Adaptor to charge the battery. The blue indicator blinks on the rear of the tablet while the battery is charging and it will stop blinking when it is fully charged.

IMPORTANT! Please Read. We recommend fully charging your tablet before using it for the first time. For optimum performance, please connect the provided AC adaptor to your tablet when it falls below 20% charge.

Battery icon
The battery icon in the upper-right corner shows the battery level or charging status.

Charging time will vary depending on the remaining battery level. Charging from 0% should take approximately 4-5 hours. Use ONLY the included AC adaptor with the small round port. You may not be able to turn on your tablet for at least 30 minutes if the battery was fully drained.
