The unit has an internal charging battery. We suggest to charge up the battery overnight using the
supplied wall charger before first use. This will help keep the battery integrity.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
Plug in the wall adapter to the DC port of the unit. You will notice battery charge LED on the front of
the unit will light up red.
Note: During Battery Charging, you can operate the unit. The charging time will be longer when
operating and charging at the same time.
Startup / Shutdown / Sleep / Reset
STARTUP: Press and hold the power button for 2-5 seconds until you see the screen startup, then
release. The system will begin the startup process, and then enters the Android Operating System at
the default home interface. If the unit is “locked” … press the right mouse button to unlock it.

STANDBY MODE ON/OFF: To enter Standby mode, press the power button and release quickly
and you will see the unit’s screen turn off. (Can also be done by pressing Fn + End). Standby mode
puts the unit to “sleep” without complete power down. This helps extend battery life by turning off the

SETTING UP YOUR UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME
Before using the unit, we strongly recommend setting up all the necessary items
first. By doing this, you are assured all is set up correctly to provide trouble free
use.

The unit will find all available WIFI in the surrounding area that is within range of the unit
and list them on the right side of the screen:
Select your WIFI name to reveal this screen: (For this example, we are using coldy)
Type in your WIFI password and press Connect.
NOTE: The WIFI password MUST be 100% correct. On some WIFI, it is
also case sensitive. If you input an incorrect password, the unit will not
connect.
You now have WIFI connection.

15
If the unit reports “no connection” .. or “connection failed” … the most common cause of
this is that the Password was typed incorrectly.
To try again, select your WIFI name, press FORGET; turn the WIFI off and on, to start
the procedure again.
NOTE:- Once you have connection the first time, you not need to go through this
procedure again as all settings and connections are now saved to the unit’s software.
For any future WIFI use, you just need to turn the unit on to reconnect automatically
(Assuming you are in the same WIFI Hot Zone and you have not manually turned WIFI
off)
