2. Basic Operations
To operate a tablet, you need to be familiar with how to use
the buttons and the touchscreen.
Power button operations
Locking your tablet to sleep
If you decide to leave your tablet for a while and intend to
return soon, rather than powering it off, you can lock it to
sleep by a brief press on the power button. This will block out
any operation on your tablet until you press the power
button again. This is also considered the best way to save
power.
Waking your tablet
Your tablet may also lock itself automatically if it is not
being used for a specific waiting time. The waiting time can
be specified in the Setting page. For details, see Chapter 10.
To wake your tablet, press the power button.
Turning off your tablet
To turn off your tablet, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the Power Lock button.
2. The Power-off menu appears, as shown below.
3. Touch OK to power down your tablet.

Gesture name
Explanation
Touch
Tap the screen once to open items
and select options.
Double-touch
Tap the screen twice in the same
location. When viewing an image or
a map, double-tapping can be used
to zoom in and also zoom out. In this
case, it is recommended that you use
the zoom-in or zoom-out gesture (as
shown later in this table) instead
when you want to zoom.
Touchscreen operations
The most common methods are tapping and typing on the
touchscreen directly with your fingers. In this section, you
will learn to do this both ways.
Finger gestures
Most of the operations when using your tablet are done
through the touchscreen with your fingertips. The most
common fingertip operations, which we call “gestures”, are
as follows:
8
Drag
Keep your finger touching the screen
and drag across the screen toward
the direction you desire. Use this
gesture whenever you want to select
text or move icons.
Long-touch
Long touch an item to see a list of
actions available for that item.
Swipe or slide
Swipe your finger in a vertical or
horizontal direction on the screen
to scroll through Home screens, Web
pages, lists, picture thumbnails,
and so on.
Zoom-out
Start out with two fingers separated
and then bring them close together.
Zoom-in
Start out with your fingers together
and then spread them.
9
Rotate
A few apps let you rotate an image
on the screen by touching it with
two fingers and twisting them
around a center point.
To type numbers and symbols, touch the 123
key to switch to the numbers and symbols
keyboard.
Onscreen keyboard
The onscreen keyboard is a software keyboard displayed
automatically anytime you are required to type in some
information. The software keyboard preinstalled in your
tablet is the Android keyboard.
• Typing text, numbers, symbols, and other characters
When you need to type text, touch the text field to bring up
the onscreen keyboard, then touch keys on the keyboard to
type. To close the onscreen keyboard, touch the down arrow
icon from the system bar.
10

microphone key to start speaking.
Touch the shift key to capitalize a letter.
Double-tap the shift key to capitalize all
letters. By default, the auto-capitalization
function is enabled when you are typing
English.
If you have configured multiple languages for the
Android keyboard input method, and want to switch
to another language when you are typing text, do the
following:
1. Touch the keyboard icon from the system bar to
bring up the input method selection dialog box.
2. Touch the desired language from the list.
Changing the input method when typing
To change the input method when typing, do the following:

selection dialog box.

Using the onscreen keyboard in other languages
To configure the input language, do the following:

input methods are listed.

settings icon.

The edit menu shows up when you have text selected.
1. Long-touch the area where you
want to paste the text that you
have cut or copied. A pop-up
option is displayed.
• Editing text
To cut or copy text, do the following:
1. Long-touch the word you want to use until the edit menu
is displayed at the top right of the screen. The selected word
is highlighted and two selection tabs are displayed under
the word.
2. Drag either selection tab to expand or reduce the range of
the selected text. If you want to select all text, touch SELECT
ALL from the edit menu.
3. Touch CUT or COPY from the edit menu. The text is saved
to the clipboard.
To paste or replace text, do the following:
2. Touch PASTE to paste the text, or REPLACE to replace the
12
text selected.
Dictionary
Your tablet has dictionaries in many languages which are
helpful when composing messages and documents. The
appropriate dictionary is activated automatically when you
touch a supported keyboard.
The active dictionary suggests corrections or completes the
word while you type. You do not need to interrupt your
typing to accept the suggested word.
• Accepting or rejecting dictionary suggestions
To accept a dictionary suggestion, touch the correct word
when the dictionary suggestion is displayed. To reject a
dictionary suggestion, finish typing the word that you want,
and then touch the space key.
• Correcting a word using the dictionary suggested corrections
If you misspell a word, the word is underlined with a red
line. Touch the misspelled word and a list of suggested
corrections is displayed. Touch the one that best matches
your word. The misspelled word is replaced.
You also can create your own dictionary by using the
Personal dictionary function.
To add a word to your dictionary, Open Android Settings and
