  1. What's in the Box / Extra Accessories(Picture for reference only, the actual product shall prevail.)

  1. Power On/Off

What shall we do if DWARF II won't power on?
2.1 Please note that DWARF II cannot be turned on under 3% power.
2.2 As the battery hasn't been charged for over one month since its last charge in our factory, it is in sleep mode. Please help to take the following step to activate it.
Use a power adapter and a USB Type-C cable to connect your DWARF II to slowly charge DWARF II. After the battery indicator light flashes from one LED light to two LED lights, that means the battery has activated, then you can use any power adapter or a portable power bank to charge the battery.
  1. Insert/Withdraw MicroSD Card

*When the SD card slot (slot opening) is facing upward, please insert the SD card with the black side facing up.

(If you are using your SD card, please have the Goldfinger side facing up.)

 

*The package includes a 64GB Micro SD Card, and the maximum capacity of the Micro SD Card compatible with DWARF II is 512GB.
