1. Charging and Turning on the Dell Latitude 7275 Tablet
Note: Because the battery may have discharged during shipping, it may be necessary to charge the battery before starting up the tablet.
The USB-C connector on the Dell Latitude 7275 can support data transfer or AC power but not both at the same time. When it is connected to a USB port on a computer, it automatically switches to data transfer mode and will not charge the battery. To charge the device, always use the AC power adapter with the USB-to-USB-C cable supplied with the device. The USB-C connector is located close to the bottom on the left-hand edge (when held horizontally with the webcam at the top).
