available Wi-Fi hotspots.

:: Select the desired Wi-Fi hotspot
from the list.

:: If the hotspot doesn't have a

Troubleshooting

If you have trouble connecting to
your Wi-Fi please check the
following:
:: Check you have included any
CaPiTaL letters as most passwords
are case sensitive
:: Check you haven’t got CAPS lock
toggled ON.
:: Check you have the correct
password for the hotspot and it
hasn’t been changed.

If you still can’t connect there may
be a temporary conict with your
router’s security authentication.
Please contact your Internet Service
Provider, requesting to temporarily
lower the router’s security
encryption to WEP which will allow
the eTouch to connect to the
internet.

Once connected, you should have
no further problems with getting

return the encryption to its former
status. This can all be done over the
phone in a couple of minutes.

Battery Charging

Your eTouch™ has a built in

Hours battery life (depending on
usage).

The eTouch™ is supplied with no
charge in the battery and we
recommend that you charge the
battery for around 8 Hours for its
rst charge, to achieve the best
battery life. Without sucient
charge the eTouch will not power
up and will vibrate until reset.

Memory &
Expansion

Your eTouch™ comes with 4GB of
built in storage but will also
support uo to a 32GB Micro SD card
to store your favourite music,
movies and photos.

To insert a micro SD Card

connectors facing downward until
you feel a click which will lock the
card into place.

To remove a micro SD Card
Go to Settings > SD Card and
device storage settings then
choose the micro SD Card “SD1”
then tap ‘Unmount SD1’ to allow
you to safely disconnect the card
from the eTouch. Push the card
gently inwards until you hear a click
and then it will pop out.

About your

touchscreen navigating around the
eTouch™ is as easy as a quick swipe of
your ngertips. The Android™ OS is
