3. Setup and Charging

Before first use, fully charge the device using one of the available methods.

3.1. USB Charging

  1. Locate the USB charging port on the device (typically covered by a rubber flap).
  2. Connect the provided USB cable to the device and to a 5V USB power adapter (not included) or a computer USB port.
  3. The charging indicator light will illuminate (e.g., red) to show charging is in progress.
  4. A full charge typically takes approximately 5 hours. The indicator light will change color (e.g., green) or turn off when fully charged.
