CHARGING THE BATTERY

The battery of your Device is not fully charged as you un-

pack it, so you need to charge it for 8-12 hours. It’s strongly

recommended to keep the Device off during the rst charge,

otherwise power consumption may be more, than charging,

especially when you charge it from PC. Follow next steps to

charge the battery:

1. Make sure the Device is off. In opposite case, press

On/Off button for a few seconds and select Power Off in menu

appeared. The Device will shut down.

2. Connect your Device to a computer or power supply

using the micro-USB cable included in package.

3. LED indicator will start blinking green as soon as

charging process starts.

4. When the battery is fully charged, the indicator turns

solid green. Now you can disconnect the micro-USB cable.

Getting Started

features.

GETTING STARTED

NOTE It’s recommended to charge the battery using the charging device. In

case if you charge the battery from PC, it’s better to keep the Device off, be-

cause power consumption may be more, than charging.

INSERTING MICRO SD CARD

The Device already has 4 GB of internal

storage, but you can extend it by using

micro SD card. Insert it to the slot, like it

shown on a gure, and slightly push until

5 more seconds, the Device’s power management system will

completely reboot. To switch the Device on, press again the

power button as usual.

ESTABLISHING NETWORK CONNECTION

If you skipped Wi-Fi conguration during the initial setup, you

can congure it later.

Bring up Home screen quick menu and go to Settings > Wireless

& networks. Check Wi-Fi checkbox, and the Device will start

scanning for available networks. The Device automatically de-

tects security type, and if there’s no need to specify additional

data (e.g. password), connection would be established. Other-

wise, you need to go to Wi-Fi settings section, tap on network

name you want to connect and specify password and other

security settings (if required) manually.

If the network you want to connect to is hidden (isn’t detected

while scanning), you need to specify its SSID (network name),

and security settings (security method and related credential

information) in Add Wi-Fi network section.

About advanced network conguration you can read in Set-

tings User Manual section.
