Getting started

Reducing the battery consumption

Your device provides options that help you save battery power. By customising these options and deactivating features in the background, you can use the device longer between charges:

•When you are not using the device, switch to sleep mode by pressing the Power button.

•Close unnecessary applications with the task manager.

•Deactivate the Bluetooth feature.

•Deactivate the Wi-Fi feature.

•Deactivate auto-syncing of applications.

Inserting a memory card

Your device accepts memory cards with maximum capacities of 32 GB. Depending on the memory card manufacturer and type, some memory cards may not be compatible with your device.

incompatible card may damage the device or the memory card, or corrupt the data stored in it.

•Use caution to insert the memory card right-side up.

•The device supports only the FAT file system for memory cards. When inserting a card formatted in a different file system, the device asks to reformat the memory card.

•Frequent writing and erasing of data shortens the lifespan of memory cards.
