7” ONEx User Guide
Getting Started
Package Contents
When you open your box please check your package is complete and
all items are in good order.
Your box should contain:
• 7” ONEx CEWS7
• UK Power Adapter
• Guide Booklet
• Guarantee card & WEEE Details
If you have anything missing or any items are damaged please contact
your place of purchase.
Setting up your ONEx
Open the package and carefully remove the packaging. It’s
recommended that you retain the package for the duration of the
warranty period.
Your ONEx has a screen protector (a thin film to protect the screen
during transit). Please use the tab to slowly and carefully remove this
from the screen as it will reduce the quality of the screen.
Battery Charging
Your ONEx has a built in rechargeable lithium battery which is supplied
with no charge in for transportation reasons. We recommend that you
charge the battery for around 8 Hours for its first charge, to achieve the
best battery life. You can still use the ONEx but it’s best to keep it
plugged in for this charging period.
To maximise your battery life it is recommended that you always fully
charge the battery and then use the ONEx unplugged until the battery
power is low, at which point you can recharge the battery. Using full
charging and draining cycles is much better than charging the battery
bit by bit.
To charge the battery, simply connect the power adaptor to your wall
socket and the power input and switch it on.
The LED Battery Indicator (at the bottom right of the ONEx) will
illuminate red.
Once the battery is fully charged the LED will turn off.
You can see the battery charge status in the menu bar at the
top of your ONEx’s screen.
Only use the authorised UK power adaptor supplied.
7” ONEx User Guide
Turning your ONEx ON
Once you’ve charged the battery (or connected the power adaptor)
you can turn the ONEx ON by pressing the power button at the top
right of the keyboard and the Android™ operating system will load.
To turn your ONEx OFF simply press and hold the Power button for about
1 second.
About your Home Screens
The ONEx has 3 home screens where you can add shortcuts to places
and programs as well as adding widgets (apps that reside on your
home screen such as a clock/calendar).
Home Screens
Your ONEx has 3 home screens to let you personalise your working
environment to suit your lifestyle. For example you can set up one
screen with your favourite apps on it, another screen with widgets to
your favourite social networking sites and another page with shortcuts
to your work files.
To access your other home screens you can simply ‘click and hold’ the
screen and swipe it left or right.
Customising your Home screens
To add a widget or shortcut to your home
Press the Menu icon (or right click) and click Add.
(Or just click & hold an empty location on the Home screen).
Please Note: If there are no empty positions on the Home screen
or the ‘Add’ button is dimmed you must delete or move an item
before you can add another or switch to another Home screen
with more free space.
In the menu that pops up, click the type of item you wish to
add.
7” ONEx User Guide
You can then add the following types of items to the Home
screen:
Shortcuts
Add shortcuts to applications, a bookmarked webpage, a File
location, a Gmail label or a particular setting and many other items.
The shortcuts available depend on the applications you have
installed.
Widgets
Widgets are miniature applications that stay on your Home screen
and feed information to you in an accessible manner. For example
you can have a widget that shows the latest eMails you’ve
received, social networking updates or the current weather
conditions.
You can also download widgets from the Android Market. Most
Widgets use different sized spaces on your home screen so you
might have to move some icons around to create some space.
Folders
Add a folder where you can organize Home screen items. For
example if you want to group a set of Internet Bookmarks, or a set
off similar Apps you can create a folder on your Home screen and
drag and drop items into the folder.
Your folders contents are automatically kept up to date.
Moving and Deleting Home screen Items
To Move a widget or shortcut simply click and hold the item until it
enlarges slightly. Then you can move the item to some free space of
your choice.
You can move an item from one home screen to another by clicking
and holding the item and dragging it to the left or right side of the
screen. The screen will slide to the next home screen where you can
drop the item into some free space.
To Delete a widget or shortcut, click and hold the item, then drag it to
the recycle bin. The recycle bin icon replaces your program menu on
the left hand side of the screen.

online servers.

Connecting to Wi-Fi
Follow the instructions below to connect to a b/g Wi-Fi Hotspot:
Please note that using Wi-Fi will decrease your battery life faster.
From the home screen click Settings, then Wi-Fi.
Then click the tick box in the Wi-Fi row to turn the ONEx Wi-Fi
module ON. Once the Wi-Fi is ON the tick will turn green. You
can also press F8 and the Function key at the same time
Note: The Function key is bottom left on the keyboard.
Once the Wi-Fi is on, click Wi-Fi Settings and the ONEx will
automatically scan for available Wi-Fi hotspots.
Select the desired Wi-Fi hotspot from the list.
If the hotspot doesn't have a password it will automatically
connect. However if it ‘secure’, a password window will pop up
letting you enter the correct password.
For password details refer to your ISP or the staff at the internet
cafe/coffee shop etc.
Your ONEx should now be connected to the internet.
Please Note: You can toggle the Wi-Fi module On and Off easily by
pressing the Function button and F8 at the same time. Turning the Wi-Fi
off when you’re not using it will help you to maximise the battery life.
Wi-Fi Connection Troubleshooting
If you have trouble connecting to your Wi-Fi please check the following:
Check you have entered your password correctly by trying to
connect once more.
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 conflict 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 ONEx to connect to the internet.
Once connected, you should have no further problems with getting
online you can request that the ISP return the encryption to its former
status. This can all be done over the phone in a couple of minutes.
Tech Support
If you have any difficulties connecting to the internet please contact
our support helpdesk on 0871 222 3456 (option 4) (national rate call).
