about the Touchscreen
Your tablet comes equipped with an easy-to-use touchscreen which allows access to the tablet’s functions.
Use your nger tip to touch the area of the screen where
a control icon is displayed. If you touch and hold the
screen, it will register as a continuous button press.
To avoid damaging the screen, do not touch it
with excessive force or with any object other
than your nger (or a stylus). For best response,
make sure your hands are clean before using
the touchscreen controls.
Protective Film
A thin lm has been applied to the touchscreen to protect
it during shipping. The protective lm should be removed
before use. To remove it, simply take a corner of the lm
and peel it away from the screen.
Using the Stylus (MID7024 & MID8024)
A stylus is included for your convenience. You can use
the tip of the stylus to make precise selections on the
touchscreen.
The MID1024 will not work with a stylus; you
must use your nger to operate its touch-
screen.
Touchscreen Actions
You can control the functions of the tablet by using
the touchscreen in combination with the three touch
keys located on the bezel. To control the tablet with the
touchscreen, use your ngertip or stylus to manipulate
icons, buttons, menu items, the on-screen keyboard, and
other items displayed on the screen.
You can perform the following actions on the touchscreen
using your ngertip or stylus.
Touch: To activate an on-screen item (e.g.,
application icons, buttons, menu
items, and the letter/symbols of the
on-screen keyboard), simply touch
them with your ngertip or stylus.
Page 9 Getting To Know The Coby Kyros
English
Touch and
Hold:
Some on-screen items have an
alternate action if you touch and hold
it (e.g., opening an alternate menu, or
to activate the drag function). To touch
and hold an item, touch the item and
do not lift your ngertip/stylus until the
action occurs.
Drag: Drag an on-screen item to change its
position (e.g., an application icon on
the home screen).
To drag an item, touch and hold it for
a moment, then without lifting your
ngertip/stylus, move your ngertip/
stylus on the screen until the item
reaches its target destination.
Swipe: Swipe up/down on the screen to scroll
through a list. On some screens,
you may be able to swipe left/right to
change the view.
To swipe, touch the screen and then
quickly move your ngertip/stylus
across the screen without lifting your
ngertip/stylus. Do not pause on the
screen with your ngertip/stylus at
the initial point of contact or you may
accidentally drag an item instead.
Double-tap: Quickly tap the screen twice on a
webpage or other application screen
to zoom (the application must support
the double-tap/zoom function). Within
the browser, double-tapping a webpage section will cause the browser to
zoom and t that section to the width
of the screen.

about the orientation sensor
The tablet contains a sensor that will automatically
change the orientation of most screens as you rotate the
tablet. The sensor works best when the tablet is rotated
perpendicular to the ground (i.e., when the tablet is held
upright and not fat on its back).
The orientation sensor can be turned on and off in the
Display settings menu.
Charging the Tablet
The tablet comes with a built-in rechargeable lithiumpolymer battery.
Before using the tablet, the battery should be charged
fully. The Status Indicator will light green when the battery is charged fully.

AC 100-240V outlet.

The battery used in this device may present a
re or chemical burn if mistreated. Do not
disassemble, incinerate, or heat the device. Do
not leave the de-vice in a place subject to direct
sunlight, or in a car with its windows closed. Do
not connect the device to a power source other
than that which is indicated here or on the label
as this may result in the risk of re or electric
