1.4 Switching Your HUAWEI MediaPad On or Off

1.6 Important Information About the Battery
When charging the battery for the first time, charge it for at least 6 hours to ensure
that your HUAWEI MediaPad displays the battery information correctly.
If the battery has not been used for a long time or the battery power is exhausted,
you may not be able to power on your tablet immediately after you begin charging
the battery. This is normal. Allow the battery to charge for a few minutes with the
tablet powered off before attempting to power it on.
Using data services increases the power consumption of the tablet and will
therefore reduce the length of time that the tablet can be used between battery
charges.
The time required to fully charge the battery depends on the ambient temperature
and the age of the battery.

When the battery power is low, your HUAWEI MediaPad will alert you and display a
message. When the battery power is almost exhausted, your HUAWEI MediaPad
will power off automatically.
1.7 Power-Saving Tips
When your HUAWEI MediaPad is not in use, turn off the screen backlight.
Reduce the time it takes for the screen backlight to turn off when your tablet is idle.
Lower the screen brightness.
Decrease the volume.
Turn off Bluetooth when you are not using it.
Turn off Wi-Fi when you are not using it.
Turn off your tablet’s GPS receiver when you are not using it.
1.8 Touchscreen Actions
On the touchscreen, you can use your finger to operate the applications and screen
elements conveniently. Your HUAWEI MediaPad supports the following actions.
