For example, [email protected]. 3. Charge the device.  Prior to turning on the PlayBook, plug it into a wall outlet using the supplied wall charger.  Power on the device by holding down the power button for a few seconds.  Make sure that you let the tablet charge fully before disconnecting the charger.  If the battery is already fully charged, you can simply power on the device.
