Page 8 Getting To Know The Internet TabletEnglishAbout the TouchscreenYour tablet comes equipped with an easy-to-use touch-screen.Our capacitive multi-touchscreen requires gentle ngertip touch on the glass screen to activate tablet’s functions. Multiple ngers may be used to perform gestures (e.g. 2-nger picture zoom).Please note: Your nger tips must not be covered. A stylus may be used. Make sure it is for capacitive touch-screens. To avoid damaging the screen, do not touch it with excessive force or with any object other than your nger. For best response, make sure your hands are clean before using the touch-screen controls. Protective FilmA thin lm has been applied to the touchscreen to protect it during shipping. The protective lm should be removed before use. To remove it, simply take a corner of the lm and peel it away from the screen.Touchscreen ActionsYou 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 ngertip 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 ngertip 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 ngertip.Touch andHold: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).
