Power On the Device

Battery Power

Battery power is ideal when the device needs to be moved or used in locations without access to a constant power supply.

To ensure optimal performance, charge the device fully before turning it on for the first time.

1. Insert the power adapter into the DC input port.
2. Connect the other end of the power adapter to a wall outlet.
3. The device will begin charging automatically. Allow the device to charge for 10 hours before using it for the first time.

Once the battery is charged, press the Power button to turn on the device. The device will now operate on battery power.

External Type-C Power Supply

Use USB Type-C to power the device for bench testing, demos, or long-duration operation when a stable power source is available. In this mode, USB Type-C powers the device only and does not charge the battery.

1. Insert the Type-C cable into the device's USB 2 port.
2. Connect the other end to an external power supply (5 V, ≥2 A).
