5. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your device.

5.1 Screen Responsiveness / Afterimages

The e-ink screen's refresh rate is optimized for reading comfort, not animation fluidity. What might seem like unresponsiveness is part of its design to minimize eye strain, conserve battery, and provide a paper-like experience. If you notice persistent afterimages (ghosting), try adjusting the refresh mode in the device settings or performing a full refresh.

5.2 Device Not Powering On

• Ensure the device is fully charged. Connect it to a power source for at least 30 minutes.
• Try performing a hard reset by holding the power button for 10-15 seconds.

5.3 Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Connectivity Issues

• Toggle Wi-Fi/Bluetooth off and on in the settings.
