The power button is on the top right of the Pepper Pad. When
your Pepper Pad is on, this button is lit.
You always use this button to turn the Pepper Pad on.
You can also use this button to put the Pepper Pad to sleep or
to turn if off completely.
Using the power button
Putting your Pepper Pad 3 to sleep
When you have not used your Pepper Pad for a period of time
(the default is 10 minutes), the Pepper Pad goes to sleep in order to
conserve the battery charge. When the Pepper Pad is sleeping, the
power light pulses slowly.
When you turn your Pepper Pad on after it has been sleeping, everything
starts up instantly, exactly where it was when the Pepper Pad went to
sleep. After the Pepper Pad has been in sleep mode, it may take up to 15
seconds to establish a connection to a wireless network.
If you know you will not be using your Pepper Pad for a half an hour or so,
you may want to put it to sleep manually, by pressing the power button briefly.
Setting up your
Pepper Pad 3
The first time your turn on your Pepper Pad 3, the Pepper Setup
Helper guides you through the few steps necessary to get your Pepper
Pad ready to use.
When you take your Pepper Pad other places – to work, the library,
a coffee shop or on vacation – you will have to connect to new Wi-Fi
networks, but this is quick and easy.
The following sections briefly describe the setting up process and
some of the features of your Pepper Pad 3
Charging the battery

Turning off your Pepper Pad 3 completely
Note:The Pepper Pad is designed to be left on or sleeping. We recommend that you turn
your Pepper Pad off only if you know you will not be using it for several days.
If you do turn your Pepper Pad off completely, the icons for the applications you
were using are still displayed at the bottom of the screen when you turn the
Pepper Pad on again. You can display the last page you accessed in one of these
applications by just tapping its icon.
To turn your Pepper Pad off, press the power button for at least three seconds.
When the Pepper Pad is off, the power light is off as well.
Using the stylus and the touch screen
The Pepper Pad has a touch screen, and the stylus provides an easy way to make
a selection or to choose a place to enter text.
Use the stylus with the touch screen as you would use a mouse. A tap is like the
click of the left mouse button. A tap does things like select an item, open a Web
page, move the cursor from one part of the screen to another, or put a check in a
box. When you tap and hold the stylus to the screen, the stylus acts like the right
mouse button and displays a menu if one is available.
There are several other ways to move around in your Pepper Pad 3:
•Use the arrow keys on the navigation pad to move in all four
directions and to highlight items; press the center of the navigation
pad or the Enter key to play a song in Music Library, open a message in
Mail or display a photo in Photo Library
• Use the scroll wheel on the right to move up and down on any page
with a scroll bar
•Use a mouse (see “Using a keyboard and mouse” on page 9)
•Use your finger instead of a stylus

The Pepper Desktop program
The Pepper Desktop program runs on a Windows computer and
contains the same applications as the Pepper Pad. You can use the
Pepper Desktop the same way you use your Pepper Pad (except for
the remote control application) and also as one source of music,
videos and photos for your Pepper Pad.
To download and setup the Pepper Desktop program:

The Pepper Pad uses its date and time settings to stamp things like e-mail.
Once you set the time zone and click the Get Network Time button the
Pepper Pad will automatically adjust the date and time.
• Setting up an e-mail account
You choose your broadband or corporate e-mail server and other settings.

You need to provide a few pieces of information before using these features.
With Local Network IM, you can communicate with other Pepper Pad and
Pepper Desktop users on your network. With AOL IM, you can communicate
with other AOL IM users.
If you ever need to change your network, time zone or IM settings, open
the Settings tab in the Pepper application and select the appropriate icon.

Applications
Note: Everything you put on your Pepper Pad is saved automatically, so there
is no Save button. When you no longer want to keep something on your
Pepper Pad, you simply delete it.
The software on your Pepper Pad 3 is contained in a number of individual
applications, such as the Web browser application, the Mail application and
the Video Library application. All applications and cross application settings
are in the Pepper application which is always displayed on the bottom left of
the screen.
Page Toolbar
The options in the page toolbar change depending on the application and
where you are in the application. For example, there is a Get Mail button on
the page toolbar on the Messages tab page in the Mail application but not in
the page toolbar on the Drafts page.
Application pages and tabs
Each application in the Pepper software is comprised of a set of pages or
digital media organized into tabs. Most tabs display a list of the contents in
the tab. For example, the Pepper applications tab displays the icons for the
other applications. To see the contents of a tab, tap the tab.
Using the Pepper Pad 3
software
The software on the Pepper Pad 3 is intuitive to use. You will be
surfing the Web, reading your e-mail, watching videos and
downloading music in no time. This brief tour is designed to
familiarize you with the interface.

Getting Help
The Pepper Pad is easy to use and you probably will not need help very
often, but you may appreciate you Pepper Pad more quickly if you take a
few minutes to familiarize yourself with what Help has to offer.
There is Help for the Pepper Pad itself and for each application. Just look
for the help tabs. This section gives a brief overview of the Help tab in the
Pepper application.
The Help tab in the Pepper application gives you instructions for using your
Pepper Pad and an overview of features that are common to most of the
applications. It also contains hints for troubleshooting problems that may occur.
There is a report page in this Help tab that you can send to Pepper Support via
the Internet when you have questions, problems, suggestions or praise. Our
users’ experiences are very important to us and we hope to hear from you.
In Help, you will find your software license, a privacy policy and acknowledge-
ments of third-party software used by Pepper products.
Using Instant Messaging
The Pepper Pad provides two kinds of instant messaging in the Talk applica-
tion; AOL IM and Local Network IM. When you are logged onto either IM, its
icon is displayed on the lower right of the screen. Tap either icon to see the
settings. Tap the Talk icon on the Applications page to launch the application.
AOL Instant Messaging
Note: If you did not enter the AOL IM information during setup, tap the IM
icon in the Settings tab in the chat application, and follow the instructions.
If you had an AOL Instant Messaging account before you got your Pepper
Pad, your buddy lists are imported to the Pepper Pad when you enter your
AOL Screen Name and password and sign on.
If you are new to AOL IM, once you have a Screen Name and Password and
log on, you can set up buddy lists, send instant messages, and invite people
for chats.
You can have only one AOL IM session running at a time using the same
Screen Name. Therefore, if you are logged on from your Pepper Pad and you
log onto AOL IM from a computer with the same Screen Name, you will be
logged out of the AOL IM session on your Pepper Pad. Conversely, if you are
logged onto AOL IM from a computer and log on from your Pepper Pad, you
will be logged out of the other AOL IM session.
Local Network Instant Messaging
Everyone on your network who is using a Pepper Pad or a Pepper Desktop
program is automatically a member of your local IM group. The members of
this group who can receive local messages have a local chat icon next to their
names in the IM window on your Pepper Pad.
Using a keyboard and mouse
Note: A keyboard and mouse are optional devices that may be used with a
Pepper Pad.
For entering large amounts of text, you can use a keyboard with your Pepper
Pad. For navigation and selection, you can use a mouse.
You can use a wireless Bluetooth keyboard or mouse. You can also connect a
keyboard or mouse to your Pepper Pad via the USB port. With a USB hub,
you can connect both a keyboard and a mouse at the same time.

Troubleshooting
If your Pepper Pad 3 will not turn on
If you cannot turn your Pepper Pad on, make sure that Pepper Pad is plugged
in. The light near the power jack should be on. It is yellow when the battery is
charging and green when the battery is charged.
If your Pepper Pad still will not turn on, contact Customer Service.
If you have Web access from a computer, you can send e-mail to pepper
support@hanbitamerica.com. If you do not have Web access, call Customer
Service at 866-237-1001, Monday – Friday, 7:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time.
If you cannot connect to your Wi-Fi network
Make sure that your Wi-Fi Access Point (AP) is set up and running and that you
can connect a computer to the AP. If you cannot connect a computer to the
AP, refer to the documentation for your AP.
Make sure you are not out of range of the AP.
If your AP requires a key or pass phrase, make sure you entered it correctly.
Check the security configuration for your AP to make sure that there are not
restrictions that may be preventing you from connecting.
If you have set up your network not to broadcast its name, you will not see it
in the list of available networks. However, you manually create a network form
the Wi-Fi settings page that will allow you to see and connect to your hidden
network.
Restarting your Pepper Pad 3
In the unlikely event that your Pepper Pad is unresponsive, you’ll need to
restart it. In most cases, you will not lose what you were doing.
To restart your Pepper Pad, turn it off and turn it back on. Hold down the
power button until the screen is off and the power button is not pulsing.
Press the power button again to turn the Pepper Pad on.
