The console is equipped with a built-in 3000mAh polymer lithium battery. To ensure optimal battery life and performance:

• Charge the device using the provided Type-C cable and a compatible 5V/2A power adapter.
• Avoid completely draining the battery frequently.
• Do not expose the device to extreme temperatures.
• The battery is designed with two-way protection for charge and discharge.

6.2. Cleaning and Storage

• Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to clean the screen and exterior of the console.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Store the console in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.

7. Troubleshooting

• **Console does not power on:** Ensure the battery is sufficiently charged. Connect the console to a power source using the Type-C cable and try again.
• **Wi-Fi connection issues:** Double-check the Wi-Fi password and ensure you are within range of a strong signal. Refer to the "Connecting to Wi-Fi" section for detailed steps.
• **Games running slowly or freezing:** Some highly demanding 3D games may exceed the console's processing capabilities (RK3326 CPU). Try reducing in-game settings if available, or consider playing less demanding titles. Ensure the system's MicroSD card is not corrupted.
• **SD card not recognized:** Verify that the TF1-OS MicroSD card is correctly inserted into its slot. If using a different MicroSD card, ensure it is properly formatted and contains a compatible ArkOS installation.
• **No sound:** Check the volume settings on the console and ensure headphones are properly connected if in use.
