• How do I safely shut down my PowKiddy console?

  For most PowKiddy devices running Linux-based OS (like the RGB10X or V10), press the START button on the main interface, select 'Exit' or 'Shutdown System' from the menu. Do not hold the power button to force a shutdown properly, as this may corrupt the system file sa SD card.

• What kind of charger should I use for my PowKiddy handheld?

  It is highly recommended to use a standard 5V/1A or 5V/2A charger with the USB cable provided. Do not use high-wattage 'Fast Chargers' (like USB-C to USB-C smartphone chargers), as the high voltage can damage the battery or charging circuit.

• How do I exit a game on my PowKiddy device?

  Exiting games usually involves a shortcut key combination. On many models like the RGB20S or RGB10, pressing 'SELECT' + 'START' simultaneously twice will exit the emulator and return to the main menu.

• How do I add games to my PowKiddy console?

  Remove the game TF card (usually the second slot if there are two) and insert it into a computer. Copy your game ROM files into the corresponding platform folders (e.g., 'GBA' for Game Boy Advance) located on the card's partition.
