1. Getting Started

Charge the battery

The tablet's battery may not be fully charged out of the box. It's recommended that you fully charge it before attempting to set up the tablet.

A fully discharged battery can take about 4 hours to fully charge. When the battery is being charged, the LED indicator lights red. When the battery has been fully charged, the LED indicator lights orange. Use only the supplied power adapter to charge your tablet. Using unauthorized power adapters may severely damage your tablet.

Note: If the LED indicator light does not light during charging, try another outlet in your home, also try charging with a computer, lastly try charging with another power cable (either USB or power adapter if you have more than one.)

If the tablet is having persistent charging issues please call Visual Land Customer support at 1-562-860-2669. Make a note of the tablet's issue as well as the methods you used to charge the tablet. The more information you provide to the Customer

Set up your tablet

The initial boot up will walk you through setting up your tablet for first use. Specify what language you'd like the tablet to use. Devices sold in the United States typically use English as the default.

Decide on a name for your tablet. This can be any combination of letters and numbers but there can't be any spaces. This name is used when other devices encounter your tablet on your home network, or when you're configuring settings for OneDrive syncing.

Next you will be asked to accept the Terms and Conditions. You must agree to them before you proceed with the setup.

Now you'll need to configure your wireless network. If your network has a password set up, you will need that in order to connect to the Internet.

Look at the list of available networks for yours and tap on your Wi-Fi network. If your network is password enabled, you will need to enter it now.
