Keeping Home Page Content Fresh
When you press your home button to turn the tablet on, the
tablet displays a stored copy of your home page. This gives you
something interesting to read while you wait for your Internet
Service Provider (ISP) to establish a connection to the Internet.
Once that connection is made, you can refresh your home page
or go anywhere on the web.
The tablet uses your Internet connection periodically throughout
the day to get fresh copies of your family's home pages. This
ensures that the information you see on your stored home page
is current when you turn on the tablet.
The tablet is initially set up to get fresh home page content three
times each day. When you set up the PC during tablet
installation, you can specify when and how often you want the
tablet to get fresh content, up to four times each day. You can
update these settings anytime by running the Tablet Connection
Wizard on the PC.
If the PC uses your phone line to connect to the Internet
Note:
and your dial-up connection is a toll call (metered or long
distance), you may want to change the frequency with which the
tablet refreshes its content.
Getting Automatic Software Updates
The tablet is designed to check for tablet software updates
automatically, so that you always have the latest features
available to your tablet.
Software updates are usually performed overnight to reduce
possible inconvenience.
The PC must be on for the tablet to get the updates.
