The power button is located on the top left-hand corner of the device. While
running, this button is also used to send the CRUZ into “Sleep” mode, as well
as waking the device up.

mon actions. From left to right, they are: Menu, Home, Search, and Return.

H. Applications
Your Home-screen is very much like the “desktop” on a computer. It is a
place for app shortcuts.
I. Nav Bar
The Nav Bar is a semi-transparent 3-button bar at the bottom of the home
screen. From left to right, the buttons are: “Settings,” “App Panel,” and “Web
Browser.”
J. Reset
The reset button is inset to avoid accidental activation. To reset the device,
use a thin, slender instrument to press down the button. Hold until the device
shuts off. Press the Power button to restart the device.
K. Headphone Jack
Connect earbuds through this port for a personal media experience.
L. Charging Indicator LED
When your Cruz is charging, this LED light will be on.
M. Micro USB Port
The Micro-USB port is used to tether your CRUZ PS47 to a computer for file
transfer as well as battery recharge.

wherever you go.

II. HAND GESTURES
Tapping
Touch your finger to the screen and remove
immediately to select an item on the screen.
This is the equivalent of a mouse “click” on
a computer.
Dragging
Press and hold your finger on the
screen, then slide in the desired
direction.
Long-Pressing
Press and hold your finger on the screen
for 2-3 seconds. Oftentimes, this will open
menu options or perform an app-specific
function.
8
Scrolling
Sliding your finger up and down in a vertical
motion scrolls through menus, websites,
and lists. The quicker you slide your finger,
the greater the momentum and speed of the
on-screen scrolling motion.
Swiping
Sliding your finger left and right scrolls
horizontally. Some eReader apps are
designed to turn the page in the direction
you swipe.
II. HAND GESTURES
Pinching
Positioning your thumb and index finger
roughly 1-inch apart while “pinching” or
“spreading” them typically zooms in or out,
respectively.

To start your Cruz, press the on/off button located bottom-right corner of the
device. When you first turn on the Cruz, you will be greeted with a CRUZ
logo, then an ANDROID logo, and then your Home screen.
The display has a screen timeout by default
set to 10 min. If the unit is left inactive for
that period of time, the screen will go dark as
if turned off. However, it is simply in standby
mode. Tap the power button and a screen
will appear with a green padlock button on
the lower lefthand corner. This is your Lock
Screen. Drag the padlock to the right to
unlock.
The battery should have a nominal charge
on it out of the box and should charge fairly
rapidly. Charge your PS47 via micro-USB
cable connected to your PC. Battery life
will vary due to many conditions, especially
when using Wi-Fi and maximum screen brightness.
Sleep Mode and Powering Down
To save battery, you should put your Cruz in sleep mode by turning off the
LCD display. To do this, tap (not hold) the power button. Tap again to bring up
the lock screen. In standby mode, the battery still discharges as the device
continues to run. To turn off your Cruz completely, press and hold the power
button until the “Tablet options” dialog appears and tap “Power off.” You
should then see a dialog box that reads: “Your tablet will shut down.” Tap
“OK” and your device will proceed to shut down.

Quick Launch Buttons
There are four buttons along the bottom edge of the touch screen. These are
the Quick Launch buttons. They control the most frequently used functions in
the Android platform. From left to right:
MENU
Generally this button is utilized for accessing settings, options, or
preferences. It’s function varies from app to app.
HOME
Returns to the home screen. Keep in mind hitting the Home button does not
necessarily stop an application from running. Oftentimes apps will continue
to run in the “background” and bog down memory and performance.
SEARCH
Brings up a search box to find keywords and phrases.
BACK
Returns to the previously viewed page or option screen. If you tap this button
enough times, it will return to the Home Screen.
