Your Home Screen

The home screen is the starting point for your tablet's applications, functions, and menus. You can
customize your home screen by adding application icons, shortcuts, folders, widgets, and more.
Your home screen extends beyond the initial screen. Swipe the screen left or right to display
additional screens.
Note: You can keep swiping in one direction and make it back to the main Home screen. The small
circles toward the bottom of the screen let you know your current screen position.
Tip: Press to return to the main home screen from any other screen.
