3.1.4 2.1.4 Resetting
If the device stops responding to the stylus or if it does
not respond when you press any of the keypad buttons,
you may need to reset it by performing a hard reset.
3.1.4.1 2.1.4.1 Performing a Hard Reset
Press both and buttons one second at the same
timeand then press the power button to turn on your
device.
3.2 2.2 PULL THE STYLUS OUT AND IN

screen.
Attach the stylus and your device with the tether. Pull the
stylus out of the slot and extend it for ease of use. Store
it in the slot when not in use.
3.3 2.3 INSTALLINGUNINSTALLING THE SIMTF CARD AND BATTERY
1. Lift the latch handle of the battery cover and turn it
counterclockwise to the unlock (vertical) position. Then,
detach the cover from the device.

13/76
2. We can see two slots then, with the upper side one in-
stalling SIM card and the bottom side one installing TF
card. To install the SIM card, push the SIM card holder
right. With the SIM card’s chip side facing down put the
card into the slot. Close the holder then. The TF card in-
stallation is similar to the SIM card installation. To remo-
ve the SIM card and TF card, push the holder and then
take out the card.
3. To install the battery, attach the bottom side of the
battery to the compartment at an angle and then lower
the upper side to engage the connector. Attach the bot-
tom side of the battery cover to the device at an angle,
and then with the handle still in the unlock (vertical) posi-
tion, fit the latch handle into place. Secure the latch by
turning it clockwise to the lock (horizontal) position.
CAUTION: it’s easy to cause damage to the battery when
installing the battery, if we lower the upper side of the
battery to engage the connector first in an angle and then
attach the bottom side of the battery to the compart-
ment.
3.4 2.4 CHARGING THE BATTERY
The battery isn’t charging when factory. So we must
charge the battery completely before using it for the first
time. Charging lasts for two and a half hours, the charger
has overcharge protection function.
CAUTION: For optimal performance of the lithium battery,
take note of the following:
 Use the included AC adapter and charger only.
 There is no need to fully discharge the battery before charging. You
can charge the battery before it is discharged.
 Do not charge the battery where the temperature is high(higher
than 50℃) or low(less than 0℃).
 If you will not use the product for a long period of time, be sure to
fully charge the battery at least once every two weeks, over dis-

14/76
charge of the battery can affect the charging performance.
3.5 2.5 FITTING THE HAND STRAP
Align the upper hand strap bracket with the two mounting
holes behind the device and then use a screwdriver to
tighten the screws. The other side is fixed to the hand
strap holders at the bottom of the device. We can see it
after the installation is complete as shown in figure 2.
