Your tablet comes equipped with an easy-to-use touch-
screen.
Our resistive touchscreen requires slight pressure on the
plastic screen to activate tablet’s functions. This may be
done with a single nger or plastic stylus.
 Toavoiddamagingthescreen,donottouchit
with excessive force or with any object other
thanyournger(orastylus).Forbestresponse,
makesureyourhandsarecleanbeforeusing
thetouchscreen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.
Using the Stylus
A stylus is included for your convenience. You may use
the tip of the stylus to make precise selections on the
touchscreen.
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 or stylus 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 or appropriate stylus.
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
them with your ngertip or stylus.

Page 10 Getting To Know The Mid7015
English
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/stylus 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/stylus, move your ngertip/
stylus 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/stylus
across the screen without lifting your
ngertip/stylus. Do not pause on the
screen with your ngertip/stylus 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.

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 an off in the
Display settings menu.

The tablet comes with a built-in rechargeable lithium-
polymer battery.
Before using the tablet, the battery should be charged
fully. The Status Indicator will light green when the bat-
tery is charged fully.
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.
