Maintenance

Charging the Device

To charge your Bigme B6, connect the provided USB-C cable to the device's USB-C port and plug the other end into a compatible power adapter or computer. The device features a Lithium-ion battery.

Cleaning the Screen

Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the screen. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the E-Ink display.

Water Resistance

The Bigme B6 is designed to be dust-resistant and water-resistant. While it can withstand splashes, avoid submerging the device in water for extended periods.

Troubleshooting

Device Not Responding

If the device is unresponsive, try performing a soft reset by pressing and holding the power button for approximately 10-15 seconds until the device restarts.

Screen Ghosting

While the Bigme B6 has an advanced ghosting elimination algorithm, minor ghosting may occasionally occur. This is normal for E-Ink displays. A full screen refresh (often triggered automatically or manually through settings) will typically resolve this.
