Since the tablet software updates regularly, the user
manual may not cover all aspects of new features.
• The new battery will be in its best condition after
being fully charged and discharged 2-3 times.
• While using earphones, if the volume is excessively
high it may cause hearing damage. Please adjust the
volume of the player to a safe level and moderate
during use.
• Do not disconnect the tablet suddenly when for-
matting or uploading and downloading, which can
lead to program errors.
• Do not dismantle the tablet by yourself, and do not
use alcohol, thinner or benzene to clean its surface.
• Do not use the tablet while driving or walking.
• The tablet is not moisture and water resistant.
Please do not use it in a damp environment.
• Do not drop or hit the tablet against a hard surface,
or the screen may be damaged or cracked.
• Do not upgrade the rmware by yourself. The tab-
let should be upgraded with the right rmware and
