It is recommended to fully charge the battery before first use. To charge the Tablet, plug the charger to an electrical socket with the other end of the adapter inserted to the DC input slot on the Tablet. You may continue to use the Tablet while it is charging. You may stop charging any time even when it is not 100% charged. If the Tablet is powered on, the battery charge status will be indicated at the top right corner of the screen by the battery meter. If the Tablet is powered off, it will charge until the battery is full. When the battery life runs out, the battery meter turns red and the device needs to be charged soon. It will continue to operate as usual until it drops to 0%. Disconnect the power adapter when the Tablet is fully charged. Note: When the Tablet is connected to a computer via the USB cable, the battery will charge via the USB socket, but at a much slower rate than via the DC 5V power adapter. Do not use any other power adapters than the one supplied. Using an incompatible power adapter could damage the tablet and poses the potential risk of fire. 2.2 Expand memory with Micro SD/ SDHC Memory Card Your tablet features a 16 GB built-in flash memory, which can be expanded using a Micro SD card (not included).
