About the Touchscreen
Your tablet comes equipped with an easy-to-use touch-
screen.
Our capacitive multi-touchscreen requires gentle ngertip
touch on the glass screen to activate tablet’s functions.
Multiple ngers may be used to perform gestures (e.g.
2-nger picture zoom).
Please note: Your nger tips must not be covered. A
stylus may be used. Make sure it is for capacitive touch-
screens.
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 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.
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.

Page 9 Getting To Know The Internet Tablet
English
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 fat on its back).
The orientation sensor can be turned on and off in the
Display settings menu.

Charging the Tablet
The tablet comes with a built-in rechargeable lithium-
polymer battery.

fully. Press lower right corner settings, next to battery

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 present a
re or chemical burn if mistreated. Do not
disassemble, incinerate, or heat the device. Do
not leave the de-vice in a place subject to 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 the risk of re or electric
shock.
Inserting a Memory Card or USB
Flash Drive
The tablet accepts microSDHC memory cards and USB
ash drive. A USB On-the-Go (OTG) cable (sold sepa-
rately) is required to connect USB Flash Drives:
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 away
from the LCD screen.
2. Slide the card into the spring-loaded slot. Push the

English
3. The USB OTG cable will adapt the Tablet’s USB port
to the full size connector on your ash drive.

microSDHC memory card into the card slot. A
