2.1 The Desktop
The main area of interest will be the desktop itself. Here you will place shortcuts to Apps or
Widgets –a visual application that can display real-time information. There may be some pre-
installed icons and widgets on your tablet.
To change the desktop background image of your tablet return to your desktop by tapping the
‘HOME’ icon . Tap and hold a blank space on the desktop (don’t tap an icon) - until a
popup appears named ‘Select wallpaper from’. In the list may appear multiple options to
select an image or animated image of choice. The option ‘Live Wallpapers’ will show the pre-
installed animated desktop images. Other options such as a ‘Super-HD Player’, ‘Gallery’ or
‘Wallpapers’ allow you to select (widescreen) photos, downloaded images or other images,
depending on the features of that specific application.
To place a widget or app shortcut on the desktop, touch and hold the icon until the App
drawer fades and the desktop appears. Move your finger to the location where you want to
place the icon and release your touch to place the icon.
To move or delete icons and widgets from your desktop, touch and hold the icon until a grid
appears. Move the icon to the new location or drag it to the ‘Remove’ bar on the top of the
screen to remove it. Releasing the touch screen will confirm your action.

2.2 The App Drawer –Right Side
Press the icon on the right side of the screen to open the App drawer. Here you have
access to two tabs; ‘APPS’ and ‘WIDGETS’. The ‘APPS’ tab displays all applications that
are available on the tablet. The ‘WIDGETS’ tab contains the optional widgets that can be
added to the desktop.
To place a widget or app shortcut on the desktop, touch and hold the icon until the App
drawer fades and the desktop appears. Move your finger to the location where you want to
place the icon and release your touch to place the icon.
When using apps or other parts of the operating system you will often see the ‘Extra options’
icon .
Tapping this icon will open a secondary menu with more options. Functions like opening an
advanced settings menu, switching to a different account or refreshing the displayed
information are often ‘hidden’ behind this icon.

2.3 Google Search / Voice Search –Top Left Corner
By clicking the ‘Google Search’ / Microphone button you can quickly type or speak keywords
you want to search. The search application will automatically determine whether the
keyword(s) apply to an application or a web search. In the latter case, a web browser will be
opened and the results of your query will be displayed on the Google search engine.
Note that both the ‘Google Search’ function as well as the ‘Voice Search’ require the tablet to
have access to the internet (via Wi-Fi).
2.4 Navigation Icons –Bottom
At the bottom of the screen in the task bar you will find three icons: HOME, RETURN, and
RECENT ACTIVITY. Use the navigation icons ‘HOME’ or ‘RETURN’ to close the
App drawer and return to your desktop. The ‘RECENT ACTIVITY’ icon will show an
overview of the active and recently opened applications. Click on the small displayed preview
to open that application.

2.5 System Information Area –Top
The top right of the system information bar will show some system information (i.e.
). Tapping it will open a small overlay menu displaying the date/time information,
the tablet’s current network status, the battery status and a shortcut icon to another quick
menu. The quick menu is where some things like ‘Airplane Mode’, ‘Wi-Fi On/Off’, the
screen brightness and other options can be set or toggled. Also, this quick menu contains a
shortcut to the ‘Settings’ menu. Simply clicking elsewhere on the screen will close this menu.
The top left part of the system information bar will show any notifications you may have. The
contents of this area can change if installed applications place additional information here.
3. General Operation
3.1 Battery Status / Charging Your Tablet
The current battery status will be always displayed in the top right of the screen in the system
information bar. The battery icon will change according to 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 on the battery icon.
3.2 Installing Apps
You can install your own Apps by opening the App Store, which can be found in the
‘App drawer’. Note that not all applications may function properly for your tablet. Some are
made specially for small screen devices such as phones.

3.3 Administer / Remove Apps
The ‘Apps’ option in the ‘Settings’ menu will display an overview of the installed apps.
There are four tabs available which filter the displayed app list. Select an app to view its
detailed information. In the detailed information you also have the options ‘Force Stop’,
‘Uninstall’, ‘Clear data’ and ‘Move to SD card’. Moving apps to your SD card can save you
some internal storage memory on the tablet.
The ‘Clear cache’ and ‘Clear defaults’ can be used when you are experiencing issues with a
specific app. Clearing cached information, plus possibly wrong default settings, may solve the
problem. Clearing this information will also wipe any stored login information. Clearing the
cache of your social media app will also force you to re-login afterwards.
Apps may also be removed in the apps content page of the market / shop application.

3.4 Add an Account
The best way to fully make use of your Android tablet is by linking your Google / Gmail
account to your device. Open the ‘Settings’ menu and choose the ‘Accounts & sync’
option. Without any added accounts, the right pane will display nothing. Instead, select the
option ‘Add account’. To add a Google / Gmail account please select ‘Google’ in the pop-up
and follow the instructions on the screen. After entering your Google username and password
you have the option to automatically back-up your apps, settings (i.e. bookmarks and Wi-Fi
passwords) and other data.
You can also add a POP3, IMAP or Exchange email account by selecting ‘Email’. The pop-
up option ‘Corporate’ will setup a ‘Microsoft Exchange’ link.
Your system or network administrator can supply you with the server information and login
credentials. Follow the steps displayed on-screen to complete the account linking process.
After you successfully linked your account(s) with the tablet you can toggle the automatic
synchronization on and off by using the switch next to the ‘Add account’ option.
