included with your tablet. Make sure to fully charge the battery before
using your tablet for the first time.

Your Home screen
Touchscreen
Your touchscreen provides an excellent way to interact with and use your
Android™ device. With the touch of your finger, you can download and use
available applications, make menu selections, and access data saved to
your tablet.
The following terms are used for describing the different available actions
using the touchscreen:
Tap or touch
A single finger tap selects items, links, shortcuts, and letters on the
on-screen keyboard.
NOTES • To select an item, tap the center of the icon.
• Don't press too hard; the touchscreen is sensitive enough to pick up a light, yet firm
touch.
• Use the tip of your finger to touch the option you want. Be careful not to touch any
other icons.
Touch and hold
Touch and hold an item on the screen by touching it and not lifting your
finger until an action occurs. For example, to open a contact’s available
options, touch and hold the contact in the Contacts list until the context
menu opens.
Drag
Touch and hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your finger,
move your finger on the screen until you reach the target position. For
example, you can drag items on the Home screen to reposition them.
Swipe, slide, or flick
Move your finger quickly across the surface of the screen, without pausing
when you first touch it (so you don’t drag an item instead). For example,
you can browse through the different Home screens by swiping to the left
or right, slide the screen up or down to scroll through a list, or remove an
application from the Recent Apps screen by flicking its graphic off the
screen.

16 Your Home screen
Double-tap
Tap the screen twice quickly to zoom, highlight text, or turn the screen on/
off. For example, quickly double-tap a section of a webpage to adjust that
section to fit the width of the screen and zoom in and out when viewing a
picture and when using Maps. Double-tap a word to highlight it. Double-tap
can also activate the KnockON feature to turn the touchscreen on or off.
Pinch-to-zoom
Use your index finger and thumb in a pinching motion (to zoom out) or
spreading motion (to zoom in) when using Chrome, a map, photos, the rear
camera lens, the Contacts list, the Favorites list, the Groups list, a music
list, and Polaris Office 5 documents. Spread apart to make screen
information larger (easier to see and read), or pinch together to view more
area and information. The pinch gesture also changes the Home screen.

apart to return to the normal Home screen view. Spread apart on the
normal Home screen to hide all of your Home screen items, then pinch in
