  Check if the device's WiFi switch is on. WiFi stability is affected by distance and router signal. Try connecting to a mobile hotspot first. (Note: The player cannot connect to guest WiFi, as public networks require data network access for login.)
• Unable to charge or slow charging?
  Try replacing the charging cable and use a 5V/1A charger (avoid fast-charging devices, which may damage the battery).
• Forgot the password?
  To ensure customer privacy and security, contact customer service at zaqecustomer@hotmail.com to obtain the universal unlock password.
• System lag, app crashes, or unable to download?
  Regularly clear background apps and cache (Settings > Storage > Clear Cache). Only download apps compatible with Android 9.0 (avoid excessively high versions) and prioritize the built-in app store.
