Troubleshooting

Tablet won't turn on or respond.

Ensure the tablet is fully charged by plugging it into a power outlet for at least 30 minutes. Try holding the power button for 20-30 seconds to perform a hard reset.

Apps are running slowly or freezing.

Close unnecessary apps running in the background. Check the available storage (Settings > Storage) and consider moving photos/videos to a microSD card or deleting unused apps. A restart can also help.

Parental controls are not working as expected.

Access the Parent Dashboard (via your Amazon account on the tablet or a web browser) to verify all settings, age filters, and time limits are correctly configured for each child profile. Ensure the tablet is connected to Wi-Fi to sync settings.

Cannot connect to Wi-Fi.

Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and ensure Wi-Fi is enabled. Try forgetting the network and re-entering the password. Restart your tablet and your Wi-Fi router. Ensure you are within range of your Wi-Fi signal.

Amazon Kids+ content is not available or downloads are slow.

Check your Wi-Fi connection strength. Ensure your Amazon Kids+ subscription is active (it's included for 1 year). If content is missing, ensure the child's profile settings allow access to that type of content.
