Chapter 2: Operating Instructions
2.1 Charging the Battery:
The battery is not fully charged and it is highly recommended that you charge your LIBRE before you begin using it.
Note: Using the LIBRE “out of the box” will not harm the device. You will experience reduced battery life as the unit will not be fully charged.
Connect the power adapter to the LIBRE’s USB port and you will see an animation of a battery charging on the LIBRE’s display. Please charge the battery for a minimum of four (4) hours using the power adapter. You may also charge the battery by connecting your LIBRE to the USB port of your PC using the USB cable included with your LIBRE. However, using this method will extend the charging time to approximately seven (7) hours.
Please note, the animation simply informs the user that the LIBRE is in charging mode. Please do not rely on the animation to verify the battery level. To verify the battery level, please go to the Main Menu, select Settings, System Settings and then Battery.
2.2 Powering On your LIBRE:
To properly power ON your LIBRE for the first time, press and hold the POWER button until you see the Aluratek logo on the LIBRE’s display then release. The Main Menu should appear in approximately one minute.
To power the LIBRE ON or OFF for everyday use, simply press and release the POWER button. Please DO NOT hold down or press the POWER button repeatedly, the LIBRE will not respond properly.
To extend battery life, you can set the LIBRE to power OFF automatically after 3 to 30 minutes. From the Main Menu, go to “Settings”, then “User Settings” and select “Auto Power Off”. You may select from the follow- ing choices: Never, 3 Minutes, 5 Minutes, 10 Minutes, 15 Minutes or 30 Minutes. Select your choice by using the up or down arrow keys and then press “OK”.
If you have any issues powering your LIBRE ON or OFF, please RESET your LIBRE (see Resetting your LIBRE section).
