Rechargeable Battery Pack Safety
With very little care, you can optimize the battery life and maximize the
lifespan of the battery. Most importantly, use only the equipment in its ideal
operating temperature (as described in 1.4 Specifications) – do not leave it in
a hot trunk during the summer.
•Using the Equipment for the First Time
Be sure to fully charge (approx. 4 hours) the equipment when charging the
equipment for the first time.
•Long-Term Storage & Maintenance
If you are putting away the battery for more than three months, it is
recommended that the batteryshould be stored separately and fully
charged, and get recharged every three months. If you store an uncharged
battery, it could fall into a deep worn-out state which would render it
incapable of holding any charge. Be sure to store the equipment and
battery at the proper temperature (as described in 1.5 Specifications).

In order to ensure the life and performance of the battery, if your tablet has been
stored in the warehouse for more than three months, it is recommended to charge
the battery every three months.
2.2.1 Charging with the Power Adapter
A. Use a 12V power adapter to directly connect the charging port on the tablet to
charge.
B. The machine with a docking station or integrated cable can also be charged
through the power input on the tail cable. Detailed reference（1.3 Extended Cable
Definition ）
Warning:
Please ensure that the input voltage of the DC interface is within the range of 8V-
36V, or use the 12V adapter coming with device. If the input voltage of the DC is
outside this range, the VT-10 Pro may be unable to charge or damaged. It may
cause the warranty invalid.
2.2.2 Checking the Battery Level
a. When the charging is in process, a battery indicator will appear in the status bar
showing the charging percentage. To view the charge percentage, swipe down the
Status Bar and you will see the charging percentage.
b. When the battery is fully charged, you can disconnect the DC input. If available,
please keep the device in charging by DC power supply. See the details in “2.3
Charging the Battery”.
2.3 Optimizing Battery Life
If the VT-10 Pro is unable to keep charging by DC power supply, to optimize the
operating time of the battery, it is recommended that you do the following:
Decrease the LCD display brightness.
Set a shorter timeout of inactivity to allow the screen enter sleep mode.
Turn off the display if you are not using it.
Turn off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or GPS function if you are not using it.
Turn off the App that heavily drains the battery if you are not using it. To view

11
the battery usage by individual App, swipe down the Status Bar in the upper
right corner and tap and hold the Battery icon.
Enable CPU power saving mode on battery settings page to limit the
maximum CPU performance to conserve battery life and lower device
temperature.
To access the battery settings page, swipe down the Status Bar in the
upper right corner and then tap and hold the Battery icon.
2.4 Installing Micro SD and SIM Card
Before installing the SIM card and TF, you need to remove the tablet battery. After
disassembly, please insert the required card into the machine in the direction indicated in the
figure below. Finally, load the battery and press the power button to start the machine.
