Getting Started
Charging the Battery
Connect the MicroUSB cable to the wall plug power adapter, then to the Tablet as
shown. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before first use.
NOTE: It takes approximately five hours to recharge the battery via AC power and it is
normal for the Tablet to feel warm during the recharging process and actual usage. Play times
will vary depending on display settings, apps that remain open, and your internet usage.
Battery Care
Operating temperature: Your Tablet is designed to function between 32°F and 95°F
(or 0°C to 35°C). Lithium-polymer batteries are sensitive to higher temperatures, so
keep your Tablet out of direct sun light and don’t leave it in a closed environment
susceptible to extreme temperatures (ie: such as a vehicle).

recommended to run the battery down to 10% at least once a month and recharge it.
