• Charging: Always use a standard 5V-1A or 5V-2A charger. Avoid fast chargers exceeding 30W, as they are not compatible and can damage the device.
• App Management: While the device runs Android 10, it has limited RAM. Avoid downloading too many applications and ensure sufficient space is reserved for smooth software operation. Consider downloading installation packages of frequently used apps to a designated folder, installing them when needed, and temporarily uninstalling them when not in use.
• Battery Care: If the device is not used for an extended period, charge it at least once a month to prevent battery damage from excessive depletion.

12. Troubleshooting
