Operating Instructions
System Switching
The Super Console X3 Plus offers three distinct operating systems. You can switch between them as follows:
- Android TV 9.0: This system is ideal for streaming media, installing applications, and general internet browsing.
- EmuELEC 4.5: This is the dedicated retro gaming system, pre-loaded with a vast collection of classic games.
- CoreELEC: A lightweight, optimized system primarily for media playback, offering enhanced performance for video content.
To switch between systems, you typically need to reboot the console. A boot menu will appear, allowing you to select your desired operating system. Specific methods for launching EmuELEC or CoreELEC from within Android TV may also be available; refer to on-screen prompts or the system's internal documentation.

Navigating EmuELEC
Once in EmuELEC, use the wireless controllers to navigate through the game menus. Select a game to launch it. To exit a game or access the EmuELEC system menu, specific button combinations are usually required, such as pressing the SELECT and START buttons simultaneously. Consult the EmuELEC documentation for detailed controller shortcuts.
Adding Games
The console supports expanding its game library by adding more games to the TF card. Detailed instructions for transferring and integrating new game ROMs can be found in the EmuELEC system documentation or by contacting Kinhank customer support.
Using the Remote Control
The included remote control is primarily designed for navigating the Android TV interface, controlling media playback, and accessing system settings within Android TV. It may also function for basic navigation in other systems, but the game controllers are recommended for EmuELEC.
Maintenance
Cooling System
The X3 Plus features an upgraded internal cooling fan that automatically activates upon booting to maintain optimal operating temperatures, typically around 50°C. To ensure efficient heat dissipation, always ensure that the console's ventilation openings are clear and unobstructed.

Cleaning
To clean the exterior of your console, use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners, aerosols, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the device's finish or internal components.
Software Updates
Periodically check for available software updates for Android TV, EmuELEC, and CoreELEC. Updates can improve performance, add new features, and enhance system stability. Follow the on-screen instructions for any update procedures.
Troubleshooting
- No Power: Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the console's DC 5V port and a functional electrical outlet.

- Controllers Not Responding:
- Check if the USB receiver for the wireless controllers is securely plugged into a USB port on the console.
- Ensure the controllers have fresh batteries.
- If controllers become disconnected, try re-pairing them according to on-screen instructions or by consulting the controller's specific manual.
- No Sound:
- Check the volume settings on your TV and within the console's operating system.

- If using external audio devices, verify all connections.
- Games Lagging or Freezing:
- Ensure the cooling fan is operating correctly and that the console's vents are not obstructed.
- Close any unnecessary applications running in the background on Android TV.
