Quick Start Guide

When the tablet is shipped from the factory, the battery is in shipping mode to reduce consumption. You must release the battery from shipping mode before use. To do this, pry open the rubber cover protecting the charging port and plug in the supplied power adapter. Fully charge the battery before the first use. To turn on the system, press the power button for 1 second. To power off, long-press the power button for 4 seconds.
