so can I use it directly after unboxing?

Certainly. However, as I say above, if you are doing procedures such as transferring data or a software data, do leave it connected to the charge circuit during the process.

No, there is no requirement to charge for any specific amount of time.

You can charge at anytime, for any amount of time.

I would recommend that you connect to the charge circuit while you set it up and/or perform any updates.
