7.1 Device Freezes, Won't Power On, or Cannot Be Charged

1. Reset Instructions: If the device is frozen, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds to force a reset. Resetting will not delete any data; it only restarts the device.
2. Check the Following Settings:
   • Screensaver Time (Backlight Timer): Path: Setting > Display Settings > Backlight Timer (10s / 20s / 30s / Always On). The screen will enter screensaver mode after the set time, but background programs will still be running. Simply press the power button to wake the screen.
   • Timing Shutdown: Path: Setting > Timing Shutdown (On: 1-99 minutes / Off: 0 minutes). The device will automatically shut down at the set time, regardless of usage. This function is single-use only and must be reset each time.
   • Power Saving Shutdown: Path: Setting > Power Saving Shutdown (On: 1-99 minutes / Off: 0 minutes). When the device is idle, it will automatically shut down after the set time. The factory default setting is 3 minutes. Exception: In the recording interface (paused), the device is still considered running and will not shut down automatically. Other interfaces (e.g., paused music or recording playback) will shut down after the set time if idle.
3. If the Problem Still Persists: You can try formatting the device to eliminate potential system errors. Path: Setting > Formatting equipment. Warning: Formatting will erase all data. Please proceed with caution.

7.2 Device Is On but Buttons Are Unresponsive
