Troubleshooting
Tablet won't turn on or charge.
Ensure the tablet is fully charged using the provided charger. Try a different power outlet or charging cable to rule out a faulty accessory. A full charge can take several hours.
Amazon Kids+ content is not loading or available.
Verify your Wi-Fi connection is active and stable. Check that your Amazon Kids+ subscription is active and has not expired. Sometimes, simply restarting the tablet or the Amazon Kids+ app can resolve sync issues. Remember, content availability can vary by region.
Screen is unresponsive or frozen.
Perform a force restart by holding down the power button for approximately 40 seconds until the tablet restarts. This often resolves temporary software glitches.
Not enough storage space for new apps or content.
Delete unused apps, games, or downloaded videos to free up internal storage. Consider purchasing and installing a compatible microSD card (up to 1TB) to expand the tablet's storage capacity significantly.
Parental controls are not working as expected.
Review and adjust settings in the Amazon Parent Dashboard, accessible from the tablet or a web browser. Ensure the tablet's time and date are correct, as some controls are time-sensitive. Confirm the child's profile is active and correctly configured.
