You can install your own apps by opening up the Apps shop. To open the Apps shop, you will first need to
open up the App Drawer (located on the top right hand corner). Please not e, a number of applications found
within the Android Market are specifically designed for Mobile Phones, as a result they may not function
properly on a Tablet device. Each app should provide information on what devices it is compatible with.

There are approximately four tabs which you can filter between within the displayed app list. Select an app to

app. Clearing cached information and default settings may solve the problem. Please note, clearing this
information will also wipe any stored login information. E.g. clearing the cache of your social media app will
also force you to re-login afterwards.
Apps may also be removed in the apps content page of the Android Market / shop application.

5.2 Wi-Fi settings
Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that can provide Internet access at distances of up to 100 metres,
depending on the capabilities of the Wireless router and your surroundings.
To use Wi-Fi, you connect to a wireless access point or “hotspot”. Some hotspots are open and you simply
connect to them. Others will implement security measures such as a secure password/key which you must
provide prior to being able to connect.
Please note, to extend your battery life between charges, turn off Wi-Fi when you are not using it. You can
also set your device to disconnect automatically from Wi-Fi networks when it is sleeping.
5.2.1 Turn Wi-Fi on and connect to a Wi-Fi network
If you are in the process of adding a Wi-Fi network when first setting up your device, Wi-Fi will be turned on
automatically.
1. Touch the settings icon on the Home or All Apps screen.
2. Touch Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi.
3. Slide the Wi-Fi switch to the On position. The device scans for available Wi-Fi networks and
displays the name of those it finds. Secured networks are indicated with a Lock icon. If the device finds a
network that you connected to previously, it will connect to it.
4. Touch a network name to see more details or connect to it. If the network is secured, you will be
prompted to enter a password and other credentials. (Ask your network administrator for details). To modify a
network’s settings, touch and hold the network name.
5.2.2 Add a Wi-Fi network
You can add a Wi-Fi network, so that your device will remember it; along with any security credentials, and
connect to it automatically when it’s in range. You must also add a Wi-Fi network if the network does not
broadcast it’s name (SSID), or to add a Wi-Fi network when you are out of range.
To join a secured network, you will first need to learn the security details from the network’s administrators.
Steps can be found below:-
1. Turn on Wi-Fi, if it is not already turned on.
2. In the Wi-Fi settings screen, touch Add Network.
3. Enter the SSID (name) of the network. If necessary, enter security of other network configuration
details.

5.2.4 Configure proxy settings for a Wi-Fi network
Some network administrators will require you to connect to an internal or external network resource via a
proxy server. By default, the Wi-Fi networks you add are not configured to connect via a proxy, but you can
change that for each Wi-Fi network you’ve added. Proxy settings are used by the Browser, but may not be
used by other apps. Steps can be found below:-

your device detects an open Wi-Fi network. Uncheck this option if you wish to turn off notifications.
Avoid poor connections: Check to automatically avoid using networks with a low-quality or
intermittent Internet connection.
Keep Wi-Fi during sleep: To conserve mobile data usage, your device stays connected to Wi-Fi
when the screen goes to sleep. Touch this option to change this default behaviour; either to stay connected to
Wi-Fi only when the device is connected to a charger (when battery life isn’t a problem), or never to stay
connected to Wi-Fi during sleep. The latter choice is likely to increase mobile data usage.

5.5 Manage downloads
Files, apps and other items you download from Gmail, the Android Market and other apps are stored in your
device’s internal storage. You can use the Downloads app to view, reopen, or delete what you’ve downloaded.
Downloaded files are stored in the Download directory that’s visible when your device is connected to a
computer. You can view and copy files from this directory. Steps can be found below:-

list.
Check items you want to delete. Then touch the trash icon.
At the bottom of the screen, touch Sort by size or Sort by date to switch back and forth.
5.7 Optimise memory usage
You typically don’t need to worry about managing apps beyond installing, opening, and using them. But there
may be times when you want to more about what’s happening behind the scenes.
Apps use two kinds of memory: - internal storage and RAM. They use internal storage for themselves and any
files, settings and other data they may use. They also use RAM (memory designed for temporary storage and
fast access) when they are running.
Android manages and carefully guards the portion of internal storage where the system, apps, and most data
for these apps are stored, because this area may contain your private information. It’s not possible to view this
portion of internal storage when you connect your device to a computer with a USB cable. The other portion of
internal storage, where music, downloaded files (and so on) are stored, remains visible for your convenience.
Android also manages how apps use RAM. It may cache some things you’ve been using recently, for quicker
access if you need them again, but it will erase the cache if it needs the RAM for activities/processes. Your
interaction with the device, will affect the way apps use storage directly and indirectly in many ways, for
example, by:-
Installing or uninstalling apps.
Downloading files in the Browser, Gmail and other apps.
C reating files. E.g. taking pictures, text files.
Deleting downloaded files or other files you have created.
Copying files between your device and a computer/laptop.
You will very rarely need to manage the way apps use RAM, however you can monitor apps’ RAM usage and
stop them if they misbehave or cause your device to experience problems.
5.8 Secure your Tablet
Depending upon how you use your Advertising Displayer, you may want to set some form of automatic screen
lock to prevent unauthorised access.
If a screen lock has been set, the screen locks whenever your Tablet’s display goes to sleep.
To adjust your Tablet lock settings:-
1. From the ‘Home’ or ‘All Apps’ screen, touch the ‘Settings’ icon.
2. Touch Personal > Security > Screen lock.
3. Touch the type of lock you want and follow the on-screen instructions.
You can choose amongst the below lock options:-
Slide - provides no protection, but lets you get to the Home screen quickly.
Pattern – Lets you draw a simple pattern with your finger to unlock the device.
Password – requires four or more letters or numbers. This is the most secure options, providing that
you input a strong password. For the best security measures, please follow the below guidelines when
specifying your password:-
o Should be at least 8 characters long.
o Contains a mixture of numbers, letters and symbols.
o Doesn’t contain any recognisable words or phrases.
