Setting up your

Pepper wireless pad

The first time you turn on your Pepper pad, the Pepper Setup Helper guides you through the few steps necessary to get your pad ready to use.

When you take your pad other places—to work, the airport, the library, a distant city—you’ll have to connect to new Wi-Fi networks, but this will be quick and easy.

The following sections briefly describe the setting up process and some of the features of your pad.

Charging the battery

Note: Before you can use the battery to run your pad, you need to charge it. Although you can set up your pad and use it while the battery is charging, charging takes more time if the pad is active.

To charge the battery:

1.Open the rubber flap on the lower right side of the pad.

2.Plug the power cord into the AC power jack and into a power outlet.

Charging takes less than two hours if the pad is in sleep mode or turned off.

It may take up to six hours if there is a great deal of activity. The small light next to the jack is yellow while the battery is charging and green when the battery is charged and the pad is plugged in. When the pad is using the battery for power, this light is off.

Once the battery is charged, it holds the charge for approximately four hours of use or up to a week if the pad is in sleep mode or turned off. If you are using your pad for things that require little power, such as listening to music with the screen dimmed, the charge will last longer than if you are using it for activities like watching movies or browsing the Web that require more power.

You can plug your Pepper pad in at night and charge the battery while you sleep. The pad will be ready to use wherever you go the next day. The battery cannot be overcharged, so you don’t need to check on your pad while it is plugged in.
