Yes charge it for a full 24 hours before your 1st use. It is in the owners manual or you can go online to the company website. It will work great after that. CheersRandall

I recently bought one and yes you do need to charge it before you use it and yes it needs to be on why you charge. also you may need to flick the switch on the back that says super bright. I hope this helps

The same thing happened with the first one we received. Needed to send it back and get a replacement. It never worked. The replacement immediately worked.

It has an issue. You cannot allow it to fully charge. If it is then the entire screen goes blank and you cannot do any thing unless the charge comes down. It works fine if it is partially charged.

You just let the green light on! It is supposed to be like this. So you know if it is charged or not. I always keep my controllers attached to the energizer charging station. I never had problems with controllers dying while I'm playing a game.

you can go into settings and it will show if it is charging or fully charged. Mine is having problems and charges up but will not work. There are a lot of complaints bout this particular asus tablet with changing,. I complained to ASUS to no avail. I have a formal complaint in with the FTC and the BBB. ALso sent a letter to the CEO of ASUS. Will never buy and ASUS and do not recommend

Missy bowman I would say it's broken, mine worked without charging it when i got it. Once i charged it, it didn't work again. It's a POC

I'm sorry to hear that. Mine seems to be working fine. I've used mine for more than 6 minutes. Make sure it is fully charged before using it.

Mine has a red light that comes on and stays on while charging. I will update when it's done charging to let you know what it does.OK, after charging the red light went off. At that point I disconnected from the charger and reconnected it, the light came on for a second and went right back off so it looks like you're fully charged. Hope this helps and enjoy!!

I contacted the company to get answer, I dont know what to do. first time when I bought the small one, it worked good, till it brook, this time, I thought, I would be the better one but so far, it is not working

Agree with other 2, make sure it charged because that's how you turn it on. I've had no trouble with mine, works beautifully.

Mine worked right out of the box without charging. After 6-9 hrs it should be fully charged, sounds like you got a bad one

The screen lights up orange when it is charging. There doesn't seem to be a fully-charged indocator, so I usually let it charge at least an hour. I know it needs charging when the signal starts to get weaker and results in a lot of static.

I've read that these sometimes have a break-in period and that the charging indication corrects itself after a few days of use. I'd try charging it up and using it and recharging it a few times to see if that helps. Only "problem" is that the charge lasts a long long time! Good luck.

i got mine to work but it vibrated too much and the screen kept coming on telling me that it was being charged. i think i lost battery life due to screen coming on.

When you charge the unit, your "ON" button or the squared circle button should turn Red while your levels indicator will be flashing at its current level (Blue).note the flashing will move on to the next level as it fully charges.When it is fully charged, your "ON" button will turn Blue again and the flashing will stop . When you charge your phone with it, your "ON" button will turn Red.It is not advisable to charge your phone while charging the unit.Hope this helps.

Hi. I started charging mine as soon as I unboxed it. It had some charge to it but not 100%. So far mine is ok but I hope both of us didn't get a refurbished product. Maybe someone else will reply too.

Mine works great and always has. The fact that a display cycles probably means that you have it hooked up wrong. In normal operation, one bar stays lit or flashes when low. Remember that the positive and negative have to ALWAYS be hooked up to your battery pos. and neg. I've got a switch on mine to turn off the display but it's not really needed. One user says "The C is for your switch to turn on the indicator, with my application, I ran a wire and connected it directly with the positive terminal for the indicator, beings I want to be able to kill power to the entire indicator when not in use. Prolly wasn't needed but that was my choice and it works great. The R is unused and I think I read that it's not commonly used." On mine, I think that means that when I installed it I hooked pos to battery pos and neg to battery neg. Then I hooked a wire from C to my switch and back from the positive pole on my switch to neg on the indicator. If you don't put in a switch, then I believe C just gets hooked straight to positive so that the unit will display.
