Battery
Charging the battery
Charge the battery before using it for the first time or when it has been unused for
extended periods.
Use only WESTECH-approved chargers, batteries, and cables. Unapproved
chargers or cables can cause the battery to explode or damage the device.
1 Connect the USB cable to the USB power adaptor, and then plug the end of the USB
cable into the multipurpose jack.
Connecting the charger improperly may cause serious damage to the device. Any
damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.

Basics

2 Plug the USB power adaptor into an electric socket.
3 After fully charging, disconnect the device from the charger. First unplug the charger
from the device, and then unplug it from the electric socket.
To save energy, unplug the charger when not in use. The charger does not have a
power switch, so you must unplug the charger from the electric socket when not
in use to avoid wasting power. The charger should remain close to the electric socket
and easily accessible while charging.
Viewing the remaining charging time
While charging, open the Home screen and tap Apps →Settings →Battery.
The actual charging time may vary depending on the status of your device and the
charging conditions. The remaining charging time may not be displayed when you
charge the device in very cold or very hot conditions.

Your device provides various options that help you conserve battery power.

•Deactivate the Bluetooth feature when not in use.

•Decrease the backlight time.
•Decrease the screen brightness.
Battery charging tips and precautions
•When the battery power is low, the battery icon appears empty.
•If the battery is completely discharged, the device cannot be turned on immediately
when the charger is connected. Allow a depleted battery to charge for a few
minutes before turning on the device.

Basics

•If you use multiple apps at once, network apps, or apps that need a connection to
another device, the battery will drain quickly. To avoid losing power during a data
transfer, always use these apps after fully charging the battery.
•Using a power source other than the charger, such as a computer, may result in a
slower charging speed due to a lower electric current.
•The device can be used while it is charging, but it may take longer to fully charge the
battery.
•If the device receives an unstable power supply while charging, the touchscreen
may not function. If this happens, unplug the charger from the device.
•While charging, the device and the charger may heat up. This is normal and should
not affect the device’s lifespan or performance. If the battery gets hotter than usual,
the charger may stop charging.
•If you charge the device while the multipurpose jack is wet, the device may be
damaged.
Thoroughly dry the multipurpose jack before charging the device.
•If the device is not charging properly, contact WESTECH.
•While charging the battery when the device is turned off, the icon appears on the
screen.
•You cannot use the built-in fast charging feature when you charge the
battery using a standard battery charger.
•If the device heats up or the ambient air temperature rises, the charging speed may
decrease automatically. This is a normal operating condition to prevent damage to
the device.
Power saving mode

On the Home screen, tap Apps →Settings →Battery →Power saving mode, and then
tap the switch to activate it.
