• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the console. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the console in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Software Updates: Periodically check for system updates within the Android or EmuELEC settings to ensure optimal performance and access to the latest features.

6. Troubleshooting

No Power/No Display:

Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the console and a working power outlet. Verify the HD cable is properly connected to the console and your TV, and that your TV is set to the correct HDMI input.

Games Freezing or Lagging:

Check if the console's vents are clear for proper cooling. Ensure the TF card is correctly inserted. For demanding games, ensure the console is not running too many background processes in the Android system. Rebooting the console can often resolve temporary performance issues.

Controller Not Responding:

Ensure the USB controllers are firmly plugged into the console's USB ports. Try a different USB port or a different controller if available.

No Network Connection:

For wired connections, check the Ethernet cable and router. For Wi-Fi, ensure the correct network is selected and the password is entered accurately in the Android settings. Rebooting your router may also help.

Cannot Add/Delete Games:

Ensure the TF card is properly mounted and accessible. When managing games on a computer, ensure the TF card is not write-protected and that you are placing ROMs in the correct emulator directories.
