Basic Operation

Home Screen and Widgets

The Home screen is the starting point for all of the features of your tablet. There are
additional applications than what is shown on the initial Home screen. To view them, press
the (show 6-dotted icon image) which opens to the first group of Apps. You can swipe to left
or right to see the remaining group of Apps. The Home screen is comprised of 3 separate
spaces; the main screen, and separate App/Widget screens on the right and left side. These
screens can be seen simply by swiping to either side. Widgets are mini apps that run on your
Home screen. Your tablet comes with several by default, including a calendar and a clock,
and you can download more. To move a Widget, you can touch and hold the icon, then
drag it to the desired location on the screen. To remove it, touch and hold the Widget, and
then drag it to the Remove icon at the top of the screen.
Stand-by Mode
If you do not want to power-off the tablet, you can opt to deactivate just the LCD screen. This
will keep the tablet in Stand-by mode. To deactivate the screen, quickly press and release
the Power button. The screen will go black. To reactivate, simply press and release the Power
button again. (You may have to unlock the tablet in order to use it, depending on your
security settings.)
Touch to Move, Select and Change Information
The AP-7S118 tablet screen is designed for you to touch it to move, select and manipulate
information. To select an item on the screen, simply tap it once with your fingertip or stylus.
Some items may require you to "double-tap".
Text Entry Using the On-screen Keyboard
When you want to type information into a text field (i.e., when inputting your name, or a web
address), tap the text field. The on-screen keyboard will appear, and allow you to type the
information you wish to enter. You can enter text at the beginning of the line, at an insertion
point within existing line of text or manipulate information by formatting text, deleting text,
changing to upper/lower cases, performing Cut, Copy, Paste, etc. commands.
