during setup. If you wait until after setup is complete, your settings will

not be restored.

8 - Charging your tablet

CHARGING YOUR TABLET

Assembling the power adapter

Your tablet is bundled with one of two types of USB power adapters: a

fixed-prong type or a removable-prong type. Both types are described

in this manual.

Fixed-prong type

The prongs and power adapter body form a complete piece, no

assembly required. Simply slide the large end of the USB cable into

the power adapter body (it will fit in only one direction). You cannot

remove or switch the prongs with this type of adapter.

Removable-prong type

Align arrows on the power adapter head and body. Insert the head

onto the power adapter body and turn the head towards "CLOSE"

printed on the head until it clicks into place. Simply slide the large end

of the USB cable into the power adapter body (it will fit in only one

direction).

OPEN

Charging your tablet - 9

Connecting power

Connect the power connector to your tablet and plug the AC adapter

into any AC outlet.

Warning

Only use an Acer-approved adapter to charge your device.

Note

It is normal for the tablet surface to become warm during charging or long

periods of use.

10 - Using your tablet

USING YOUR TABLET

Using the touchscreen

Your tablet uses a touchscreen for selecting items and entering

information. Use your finger to tap the screen.

Tap: Touch the screen once to open items and select options.

Drag: Hold your finger on the screen and drag across the screen to

select text and images.

Tap and hold: Tap and hold an item to see a list of actions available

for that item. On the pop-up menu that appears, tap the action you

want to perform.

Scroll: To scroll up or down the screen, simply drag your finger up or

down the screen in the direction that you want to scroll.

The Home screen

When you start your tablet, or wake it from power saving, it will display

the Home screen. This screen gives you quick access to applications

(or "APPs"), widgets, and folders. See Adding APPs to a Home

screen on page 15.

Widgets are a little different than APPs. They provide special

functions, quick shortcuts to a certain APP features, or serve as small

APPs that display constantly-updated information (like the time and

weather). Some have been pre-installed on your tablet, while others

may be downloaded from Google Play. See Adding widgets to a

Home screen on page 16.

Folders are simply groups of APPs that occupy one APP-sized space

on a Home screen. See Adding folders to a Home screen on

page 17.

The extended Home screen

You can extend the Home screen to give you more room to add

widgets or organize shortcuts. To do so, you must add an APP or
