ALGIZ 1ALVer 3.1 11 PART 2: USING ALGIZ 10X
ALGIZ 1ALVer 3.1 12 Before turning the unit on, make sure that the tablet is either connected to AC power or the battery. AC Power The ALGIZ 10X power supply is comprised of two parts, the power adapter and the battery. The power adapter converts AC power from a wall outlet to the DC power required by the ALGIZ 10X. Your ALGIZ 10X comes with a universal AC-DC adapter. That means that you may connect the power cord to any 100V-120V as well as 220V-240V outlets without using power converters. Different countries may require an adapter to be used to connect the supplied standard AC power cord to a different standard. Battery Power The ALGIZ 10X is designed to work with two types of battery. A standard battery with 5300mAh and an extended battery with double the capacity.The battery life is especially dependent on the battery’s condition, tablet usage, as well as the temperature.
