About the Touchscreen
Your Pendo Pad comes equipped with an easy-to-use touchscreen.
Our capacitive multi-touchscreen requires gentle fingertip touch on the glass screen to activate pad’s functions. Multiple
fingers may be used to perform gestures (e.g. 2-finger picture zoom).
Please note: Your finger tips must not be covered. A stylus may be used. Make sure it is for capacitive touchscreens.
To avoid damaging the screen, do not touch it with excessive force or with any object other than your finger. 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.
Touchscreen Actions
You can control the functions of the Pendo Pad by using the touchscreen in combination with the three touch keys located
on the bezel. To control the pad with the touchscreen, use your fingertip 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 appropriate 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.
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 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, move your
fingertip 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 across the screen without lifting
your fingertip. Do not pause on the screen with your fingertip 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 Pendo Pad contains a sensor that will automatically change the orientation of most screens as you rotate the pad. The
sensor works best when the pad is rotated perpendicular to the ground (i.e., when the pad 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 Pendo Pad
The Pendo Pad comes with a built-in rechargeable lithium-polymer battery.
Before using the pad, the battery should be charged fully. The Status Indicator will light blue when the battery is charged
fully.
To charge the battery:
Plug one end of the included power adapter into an AC 100-240V outlet.
Plug the other end of the included power adapter into the Power jack on the pad.
Disconnect the power adapter when the pad 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 pad accepts microSDHC memory cards. Insert a memory card into the microSDHC card slot to:
Increase the memory capacity of your pad
Play media files stored on the memory card (e.g., music, video, or photo files).
To insert a memory card:
Align the memory card with the card slot. The metal contacts of the memory card should face down away from the LCD
screen.
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 microSDHC 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:
UNMOUNT the memory card.
a. From the home screen, tap the Launcher Tab, and then touch Settings to show the settings menu.
b. Touch Storage to show the storage settings.
c. Touch Unmount SD card to prepare the memory card for safe removal.
Push the card further into the slot until you hear a click. The card will spring out of the slot.
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.
Resetting the Pendo Pad
Reset the pad if it should freeze and not respond or otherwise malfunction.
1. Disconnect your pad if it is connected to a computer.
2. Press and hold the POWER key for about 8 seconds to turn off the pad, and then press and hold the POWER key
about 3 seconds to turn on the pad.
