4.1 Initial Charging

Before first use, fully charge the console using the provided USB-C cable. The 3200mAh battery typically takes approximately 2 hours to fully charge. A red light indicates charging, and it will turn off when fully charged.

4.2 SD Card Installation

The console operates with an SD card containing the operating system and games. Ensure the SD card is properly inserted into the designated slot. It is recommended to use a high-quality, branded SD card for optimal performance and longevity, as generic cards may experience issues.

• To power on: Press and hold the power button located on the side of the console until the screen illuminates.
• To power off: Press and hold the power button until the shutdown options appear, then select to power off. A quick press of the power button may put the device into sleep mode.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Navigating the Menu

Use the D-pad (directional pad) on the left side of the console to navigate through the various gaming system categories and game lists. The analog sticks can also be used for navigation in supported menus or games.

5.2 Selecting and Launching Games

• Once you have selected a gaming system, scroll through the available games.
• Press the 'A' button (typically the bottom-right face button) to select and launch a game.
• Some games may display a preview image or video on the left side of the screen as you scroll.

5.4 Exiting Games

To exit a game and return to the main menu, typically press the 'Select' and 'Start' buttons simultaneously. Refer to the specific emulator's hotkey settings for precise commands.

6. Maintenance

• Screen Care: Use the included screen protector to prevent scratches. Clean the screen with a soft, dry cloth.
• General Cleaning: Wipe the console's exterior with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Storage: Store the console in its portable case when not in use to protect it from dust and impacts.
