User Tips
- Power Adapter: Always use a dedicated DC 5V/2A power adapter for the TV box. Relying on a TV's USB port for power can lead to instability and frequent restarts.
- Remote Control: For a more versatile experience, consider connecting a USB wireless keyboard and mouse.
- App Installation: While the device runs Android 10.0, it is a standard Android version, not specifically Android TV OS. This means some apps might be designed for touchscreens and may require a mouse for easier navigation.
