- Power off the tablet (press and hold the tablet power button until the shutdown menu appears).
- Plug the main power supply into the back of the docking station.
- Look for a battery icon on the tablet screen once power is connected — this confirms the tablet is seated correctly and charging from the docking station.

Connect the supply to the port under the frame, listen for the brake motor sound to confirm bike power, and verify tablet charging by powering it off and checking for a battery icon when the docking station is powered.
