About the Touchscreen
Your tablet comes equipped with an easy-to-use touch-screen which allows access to the tablet’s functions. Use your
finger tip to touch the area of the screen where a control icon is displayed. If you touch and hold the screen, it will register
as a continuous button press.
To avoid damaging the screen, do not touch it with excessive force or with any object other than your finger (or a
stylus). For best response, make sure your hands are clean before using the touchscreen controls.
Protective Film
A thin film has been applied to the touchscreen to protect it during shipping. The protective film should be removed before
use. To remove it, simply take a corner of the film and peel it away from the screen.
Using the Stylus
A stylus is included for your convenience. You can 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 fingertip 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 fingertip or 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 fingertip or stylus.
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 fingertip/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 fingertip/stylus, move
your fingertip/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 fingertip/stylus across the screen
without lifting your fingertip/stylus. Do not pause on the screen with your fingertip/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 webpage
section will cause the browser to zoom and fit 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.
Before using the tablet, the battery should be charged fully. The Status Indicator will light green when the battery 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.
The battery used in this device may present a fire or chemical burn if mistreated. Do not disassemble, incinerate, or
heat the device. Do not leave the device 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 fire or electric shock.
Inserting a Memory Card
The tablet accepts microSD memory cards. Insert a memory card into the microSD card slot to:
Increase the memory capacity of your tablet
Play media files stored on the memory card (e.g., music, video, or photo files).
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 card in until it clicks into place.

Do not attempt to insert objects other than a microSD memory card into the card slot. A compatible memory card
should fit easily into the card slot; if you encounter resistance, check the alignment of the card. Do not attempt to force
the card in.
Avoid touching the gold contacts of the memory card.
To release and remove a memory card:
1. UNMOUNT the memory card.
a. From the home screen, tap the Menu key, and then touch Settings to show the settings menu.
b. Touch SD card & Device storage to show the SD card & device storage settings.
c. Touch Unmount SD card to prepare the memory card for safe removal.
2. Push the card further into the slot until you hear a click. The card will spring out of the slot.
3. Grasp the card by its edge to remove it.
To avoid damage and data corruption, do not remove a memory card while data is being written to or read from the
card. For example, do not remove a card while playing a music file stored on the card.

Connecting to the Internet
This tablet can utilize Wi-Fi data networks to connect to the Internet. Wireless Wi-Fi technology can provide Internet access at
distances of over 300 feet; however, this distance can be affected by your surrounding environment and Wi-Fi router.
Requirements
In order to connect to the Internet, you will need the following:
1. A wireless router or access point with a broadband Internet connection
The wireless router must support Wi-Fi 802.11b/g connections. If the router supports 802.11n, make sure that it has been
configured to accept 802.11b/g connections as well.
A minimum connection speed of 64 Kbps is recommended. Faster speeds will enable a better Internet experience.
2. The wireless router network settings
You will need to know the name of your network (SSID), as well as the password or other credentials if your network is
secured. These settings can usually be found on the administration webpage of your wireless router.
Please refer to your wireless router’s documentation for help, or ask your network administrator for details.
You may encounter open Wi-Fi networks, or “hot spots.” These networks are usually configured so that you can
simply connect to them without needing to know its settings; the tablet will obtain all the information it needs from the
router automatically.
Connect to a Wi-Fi network
The Notification bar displays icons that indicate your tablet’s Wi-Fi status.
Notification that an open Wi-Fi network is in range.
Connected to a Wi-Fi network (waves indicate connection strength).
[no icon] There are no Wi-Fi networks in range, or the Wi-Fi radio is off.
1. Turn on the Wi-Fi radio if it is not already on. To turn on Wi-Fi:
a. Go to the Home screen:
Press the Home key.
b. Open the Settings menu:
Tap the Menu key, then touch Settings.
c. Open the Wireless & networks menu:
Touch Wireless & networks.
d. Open the Wi-Fi settings menu:
Touch Wi-Fi settings.
e. Make sure that the Wi-Fi option box is checked: Touch Wi-Fi.

When Wi-Fi is on, the tablet will look for and display a list of available Wi-Fi networks.
If a network that you have connected to previously is found, the tablet will connect to it.
If you don’t see your network in the list, you can force the tablet to re-scan. To scan for networks, tap the Menu key,
and then touch Scan.
2. Select an available Wi-Fi network to connect to:
In the same Wi-Fi settings menu above, touch a network in the list.
If the network is open, the tablet will prompt you to confirm connection to the network. Touch Connect to confirm.
If the network is secured (as indicated by a Lock icon), the tablet will prompt you to enter a password or other credentials.
Touch the Wireless password box to show the on-screen keyboard and then use it to enter the password. Touch Connect
to confirm.
When you have successfully connected to a Wi-Fi network, the Notifications bar at the top of the screen will show a Wi-Fi
signal indicator.
To learn about how to add a Wi-Fi network when it is not in range or when the router is set to obscure the network
name (SSID); or to configure advanced Wi-Fi options, please refer to the manual.
