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

USING YOUR TABLET

Your tablet uses a touchscreen for selecting items and entering

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

item.

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

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 apps

("applications"), widgets, and folders. See Adding apps to a Home

screen on page 15.

Widgets 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 groups of apps that occupy one space on a Home screen.

See Adding folders to a Home screen on page 16.

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

widget. See Adding apps to a Home screen on page 15 and

Adding widgets to a Home screen on page 16.
