CHARGING THE DEVICES BEFORE USE

A charger is included in the case.

using Cable C.

holder to charge.

You need to fully charge the Swivl, microphone and tablet before use.

Charging for around 3.5 hours will give around 2 hours of use.

If you do not completely charge all of the devices, then the system may not

record your audio.
