Power Button Usage
Turn On: Press and hold the power button at least 3 seconds or

tap Power off, and tap OK confirm the power off or Cancel to leave
the device on.
Sleep Mode On/Off (energy saver): While unit is on, press &

Touch-Screen Navigation
The touch-screen allows for quick, easy and convenient navigation
for all applications. Throughout the User Guide, you are instructed
to use the following touch navigation methods:
Tap = quick touch and release your finger on an item on the screen
(i.e., type on the onscreen keyboard, select item buttons).
Touch & hold = touch your finger and hold in place until a response
by application (i.e., display dictionary, add note to book page).
To open a menu for customizing the Home screen, touch and hold in
an empty area on the screen until the menu appears.
Touch & drag = touch & hold an item for a moment and then,
without lifting your finger, move your finger on the screen until you
reach the target position (i.e., reposition icons on Home screen).
Finger slide = quick light touch & slide your finger across the
screen, and then release (i.e., turning pages of your book, scrolling
screen up/down).
Touch, hold & slide = touch your finger, hold & slide your finger
across the screen, and then release (i.e., highlighting text, selecting
text to paste).
Using the Stylus
A stylus is conveniently stored in the bottom right end of the
device. When desired, you can use it instead of your finger for
easier and sometimes more accurate screen navigation when
tapping small options.
Reset Device
In the event that the device does not respond to your touch, you
can reboot/restart it by pressing and holding the power button for
10 seconds.
