CONNECT 9 Android Tablet Guide Book

P a g e

Getting Started

Power On & Sign In

To turn on your Connect 9, press the Power button on the

right edge near the top for a few seconds, then release it.

Charge the battery

The battery may not be fully charged at first. It’s a good

idea to fully charge it as soon as you can.

The Connect 9 can be charged 2 ways. With the power

adapter, connect the power adapter to the Connect 9 and

to a power outlet. With a USB, connect the included USB

cable to the Connect 9 and to a computer that is powered

on. (Note: charging via USB is slower than via power

adapter.)
