About the Touchscreen
Your 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 Film
A 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 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 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 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 ngertip until the action
occurs.
Getting To Know The Internet Tablet Page 9
English
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
ngertip, move your ngertip 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 ngertip across the
screen without lifting your ngertip.
Do not pause on the screen with your
ngertip 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 web-
page section will cause the browser to
zoom and t 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.

Connecting To The Internet Page 21
English
ÂConnecting 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 af-
fected by your surrounding environment and Wi-Fi router.In general, being closer to Wi-Fi router improve performance.
Requirements
In order to connect to the Internet, you will need either of
the following:
A wireless router or access point with a broad-
band Internet connection
The tablet has 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi radio. The tablet will also
work on wireless routers that only support 802.11 b/g.
A minimum connection speed of 64 Kbps is rec-
ommended. Faster speeds will enable a better
Internet experience.
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 congured
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 auto-
matically.
