Standard Features
This chapter discusses the standard features found on all
Allegro 3 models and optional features.
Turn On, Power Off or Restart
To turn the Allegro 3 on, press and release the power key.
Press and briey hold the power button to select Power off
or Restart.
Operating System
This Allegro 3 is powered by the Android Open Source
Project (AOSP) operating system. This project was created
and is still maintained by Google, and it is at the core of
every Android OS.
Installing Apps
There are several options for locating and installing apps
onto your Allegro 3.
The Google Play store is a familiar way to download
Android apps, but it requires Google Mobile Services (GMS),
which is not available with the AOSP operating system
running on the Allegro 3.
Other app stores are available, including the Amazon
Appstore and APK Pure.
Some application developers host their app les on their
website or provide it upon request.
