Charging the Battery


You can charge JoyTAB by connecting to a computer via mini USB or using the included mains charger. Please note that trickle charging via USB takes much longer than when using the mains charger. We recommend charging JoyTAB for a good 8 hours before first use.

Turning your JoyTAB On and Off


To Power On press and hold the power button until the screen lights up. To power off hold down the power button until a menu appears asking what you would like to do. To wake JoyTAB from sleep or put JoyTAB to sleep click the power button once.

Unlocking your JoyTAB


To use JoyTAB you will need to unlock the screen. To do this place your finger on the padlock icon and drag towards the other side of the screen. By default JoyTAB locks itself automatically after 1 min.
Recommendations: - To avoid touch screen interference do not use the device whilst charging via the mains charger. - Please keep the device away from moisture, dust and high temperatures. - Do not drop or strike the device. - To reduce the risk of Electric Shock do not open the outer casing.
