Part1: Open It Up and See What's Inside

Inside the box, you'll find everything you need:

You'll spot a small card with a QR code — that's your product key! It's essential for activating your PlugMate. Think of it as the "key" to unlock your device! Don't lose it.

TIPS: Keep it safe! You'll need it to set up, customize,
or even reset your device.

The PlugMate itself is about the size of a thumb drive, with smooth rounded corners and a nice matte finish. It feels solid yet lightweight in your hand—simple, sleek, and totally premium.

You’ll see the TrustKernel logo on one side, and a small blue indicator light at the end near the USB connector.

Under the foam padding, you’ll find the detailed user guide and warranty card tucked neatly inside.

Keep these safe too — you’ll need them if you ever need to make a warranty claim.

At the very bottom of the box, you'll find a U-shaped adapter and a protective case.

When you use the adapter, PlugMate hugs your phone snugly—making everything way easier and cleaner.

The case works just like a phone case — it keeps your PlugMate safe from bumps and scratches.

Part 2: How to set up your phone's "digital twin" with PlugMate? Super simple!

Before you start:

Make sure you already have PlugOS installed on your device, and your PlugMate is in hand — ready to go!

Make sure your device is well-charged. That way, PlugMate can run at its best!

Just follow these steps:

1.Plug in your PlugMate. Just like charging your phone, connect it to your device. That's it!

2.Tap the PlugOS icon. Wait about 10 seconds. The blue indicator light on your PlugMate will light up and blink. A prompt will pop up on your phone saying: “Open PlugOS to handle USB-C Extended Computing Device?” If nothing happens, just wait another 15 seconds and give it another try.

3.Tap "OK". Wait 2 seconds. A pop-up will appear saying: "New device detected", then tap "Add Now".

4.Add with your Product Key. Grab that product key card from earlier. Tap the scan icon on the screen, then scan the QR code on the card. The system will recognize it automatically—just follow the prompts and give your device a name.

5.Tap “Confirm”. Then just sit tight while the system sets everything up (should take about 30 seconds). Once it’s done, you’ll see “Connected” in your PlugOS interface.

6.Tap “Enter System”. And you'll be taken straight into the PlugOS setup screen. You're all set!

7.Choose your language, tap "Next" → then set the date & time, and tap "Next" again.

8.You've got a few ways to lock your device — pick a pattern, a PIN, or a password. Just choose what works best for you!

Once you’ve set that up, tap “Confirm” and agree to the terms — then you’re in! Your system is ready to go.

*Tips：Next time you use it, you’ll go straight into the system. No setup needed again!

Part 3: How do you actually use the PlugOS system?

The PlugOS system looks and works just like your familiar Android interface and it's easy to use.

Quick Access Ball:

It's enabled by default and lets you switch between systems, go back to the home screen, safely disconnect PlugMate, toggle sound on and off, and more super convenient!

Built-in Features:

You’ve got all the essentials ready to go — calculator, notepad, clock, calendar, and more. You can also take photos, record videos, and capture audio right from within the system. Yeah, you're all set!

App Download:

The system comes with its own app store where you can directly download popular Google apps (mirrored versions). You can also use Google Play to install any other apps you need.

Hardware Specs:

PlugMate comes with 4GB of RAM + 128GB of storage — plenty for everyday use.

Customization:

Just like on your own phone, tweak all your preferences in Settings. Tap “About PlugOS” to even check how long the system has been running.

Exit the System:

You can either tap "Back Host" from the Quick Access Ball, or simply swipe up from the bottom of the screen and you're done!

Part 4: First Time? Try These Handy Little Settings!

1.Quick Access Ball: Enabled by default; you can use its buttons to mute, close the system, return to the main system, go back, return to the home page, switch tasks, and more.

3.Screenshots: Tap "Settings" and turn off the "Disable Screenshots" option to take screenshots within PlugOS.
