About the Touchscreen
Your tablet comes equipped with an easy-to-use touch-
screen which allows access to the tablet’s functions.
Use your ngertip to touch the area of the screen where
a control icon is displayed. If you touch and hold the
screen, it will register as a continuous button press.
To avoid damaging the screen, do not touch it
with excessive force or with any object other
than your nger. For best response, make sure
your hands are clean before using the touch-
screen controls.
Protective Film
A thin lm has been applied to the touchscreen to protect
it during shipping. The protective lm should be removed
before use. To remove it, simply take a corner of the lm
and peel it away from the screen.
Touchscreen Actions
You can control the functions of the tablet by using
the touchscreen in combination with the three touch
keys located on the bezel. To control the tablet with the
touchscreen, use your ngertip to manipulate icons,
buttons, menu items, the on-screen keyboard and other
items displayed on the screen.
You can perform the following actions on the touchscreen
using your ngertip.
Touch: To activate an on-screen item (e.g.,
application icons, buttons, menu
items and the letter/symbols of the
on-screen keyboard), simply touch it
with your ngertip.
Touch and
Hold:
Some on-screen items have an
alternate action if you touch and hold
it (e.g., opening an alternate menu or
to activate the drag function). To touch
and hold an item, touch the item and
do not lift your ngertip until the action
occurs.
Drag: Drag an on-screen item to change its
position (e.g., an application icon on
the home screen).
To drag an item, touch and hold it for
a moment, then without lifting your
ngertip, move your ngertip on the
screen until the item reaches its target
destination.

Swipe: Swipe up/down on the screen to scroll
through a list. On some screens,
you may be able to swipe left/right to
change the view.
To swipe, touch the screen and then
quickly move your ngertip across the
screen without lifting your ngertip.
Do not pause on the screen with your
ngertip at the initial point of contact
or you may accidentally drag an item
instead.
Double-tap: Quickly tap the screen twice on a
webpage or other application screen
to zoom (the application must support
the double-tap/zoom function). Within
the browser, double-tapping a web-
page section will cause the browser to
zoom and t that section to the width
of the screen.
About the Orientation Sensor
The tablet contains a sensor that will automatically
change the orientation of most screens as you rotate the
tablet. The sensor works best when the tablet is rotated
perpendicular to the ground (i.e., when the tablet is held
upright and not at on its back).
The orientation sensor can be turned on and off in the
Display settings menu.

Charging the Tablet
The current battery status will be always displayed in the
lower right of the screen in the system information bar.
The battery icon will change in accordance with the
battery status.
When connected to the DC charger, the status area on
the bottom bar will display the charging icon. Note the
lightning symbol inside the battery icon.
To charge the battery:
1. Plug one end of the included power adapter into an
AC 100-240V outlet.
2. Plug the other end of the included power adapter into
the power jack on the tablet.
3. Disconnect the power adapter when the tablet is fully
charged.
The battery used in this device may cause a re
or chemical burn if mistreated. Do not
disassemble, incinerate or heat the device. Do
not leave the device in direct sunlight or in a car
with its windows closed. Do not connect the
device to a power source other than that which
is indicated here or on the label, as this may
result in a re or electric shock.
Inserting a Memory Card
The tablet accepts microSD memory cards. Insert a
memory card into the microSD card slot to:
Increase the memory capacity of your tablet
Play media les stored on the memory card (e.g.
music, video or photo les).
To insert a memory card:
1. Align the memory card with the card slot. The metal
contacts of the memory card should face down and
towards the LCD screen.
2. Slide the card into the spring-loaded slot. Push the
card in until it clicks into place.
Do not attempt to insert objects other than a
microSD memory card into the card slot. A
compatible memory card should t easily into
the card slot. If you encounter resistance, check
the alignment of the card. Do not attempt to
force the card in.
Avoid touching the gold contacts of the memory
card.
