I. Getting Started (cont’d)

Capacitive Touch Screen

The CRUZ TABLET T301 uses what is referred to as a “Capacitive Touch Screen.” A capacitive touchscreen emits an electrical current from each of the screen’s four corners. Since the human body holds an electrical charge, the user’s finger disturbs the electrical current when it touches the screen. The Cruz’s processor translates the X and Y coordinates of the input.

The result is a highly responsive and intuitive touch screen surface, since it has nothing to do with the pressure of your touch. As a direct result, the Cruz Tablet CANNOT be operated using a traditional stylus. For best results, use your fingertips.

Starting the Device

To start your Cruz, press the on/off button located at the left side of the device. When you first turn on the Cruz, you will be greeted with a CRUZ logo, then an ANDROID logo, and then your Home screen.

The display has a screen timeout by default set to 10 min. If the unit is left inactive for that period of time, the screen will go dark as if turned off. However, it is simply in standby mode. Tap the power button and a screen will appear with a green padlock button on the lower lefthand corner. This is your SCREEN

LOCK

Sleep Mode /Power Down

To save battery, you should put your Cruz in sleep mode by turning off the LCD display. To do this, tap (not hold) the power button. Tap again to bring up the lock screen

To turn off your Cruz completely, press and hold the power button until the “system options” dialog appears and tap”Power Off” The “your device will shut down” dialog appears. Tap “OK”

The Battery should have a nominal charge on it out of the box and should charge fairly rapidly. Connect the charger to the DCIN jack on your Cruz for 3 hours for a full charge lasting approx. 10 hours. The unit also charges when tethered to PC via USB. Battery life will vary due to many conditions, especially when using Wi-Fi and maximum screen brightness.

II. Your Home Screen

Introduction

Think of your homescreen as your desktop. What goes on the home screen is up to you. You can fill the space with any combination of shortcuts, widgets, and folders you like. Some preinstalled shortcut icons will appear at the bottom, and a Google Search Widget appears at the top.

When you power up your Cruz for the first time, you’ll see the main home-screen panel. This panel is typically centered; you can access additional panels on either side of the main one by swiping your finger left or right.

At the top of the Home Screen is your Status Bar. At the left, you have a set of four Control Icons. If you are ever in an application that uses full screen mode and therefore hides these icons, tap on the center of the screen to make the Status Bar reappear momentarily. From left to

right, the icons are Home , Back , Search , and

To the right on the Status Bar you will ﬁ nd the date and time. To the left of the date, you will see a Battery Life icon . This icon changes to a Battery Charging icon when the DC Adapter is connected and plugged into the wall socket, regardless if there is a full charge or not.

To the left of that will appear a Wi-Fi icon ( when connected. The icon will show your Wi-Fi signal strength as well.

In the center of the Status Bar is the Notiﬁ cation Area. Various icons will appear for different reasons, notifying you of change of status or the completion of tasks being performed. For instance, once a download is started, a download icon will appear. For more information about these notiﬁ cations, swipe the Status Bar downward to open the Notiﬁ cation Panel. When tasks are completed, you can open these ﬁ les or clear these notiﬁ cations. You can close the Notiﬁ cation Panel by swiping up again from the panel’s control handle.

These buttons at the bottom of the screen give you quick access to your Gallery (Left), App Panel (Center), and Web Browser (Right). Your App Panel is where all of the installed applications can be viewed at once.

), but only

II. Your Home Screen (cont’d)

Adding Widgets To Your Home Screen

Widgets are a feature of an application that you may install, allowing you to place a function of that app onto your Home Screen. For instance, you may add an Analog clock, calendar, picture frame, and other useful widgets to your Home Screen.

To add a widget, tap and hold (long press) your finger on any open space on your home screen, and select Widgets from the context menu that opens. From there, select any of the available widgets. (The image shown here includes third party apps not included on your Tablet.)

Tapping/holding on an open spot on the homescreen opens this window, from which you choose “Widgets.”

NOTE: If you decide you don’t want the widget on your homescreen anymore, tap

and hold the unwanted icon or widget. The Application Panel handle becomes a Trash Can. Drag the item to the trash can and release it when it turns red.

After tapping “Widgets,” this window expands and gives you all the widget options that your Cruz has installed or isn’t currently using.

III. Connecting to Wi-Fi

Introduction

For the sake of this guide, the assumption is that you are connecting to your Cruz to your own home Wi-Fi Access Point (AP) or a free unsecured Wi-Fi hotspot. From the Home Screen, select the shortcut icon that reads Wi-Fi Settings and ensure that both Wi-Fi and Network Notiﬁ cation are enabled with green check marks. After a moment, your Wi-Fi networks list should populate. If you need to rescan for available networks, tap Menu> then tap Scan.

NOTE: The Wi-Fi settings icon is an image of a dial. It should be

located in the bottom-right of your screen upon

powering on the Cruz.

Detected networks will appear with a SSID to the left (ie, AQFQ7), a status line beneath the SSID, a signal strength icon to the right. Those that are secure will feature a padlock.

tected networks, the Wi-Fi icon

III. Connecting to Wi-Fi (cont’d)

Accessibility

If a password is required, tap the password text ﬁ eld for the popup keyboard, and enter the security key

Many public Wi-Fi hotspots are freely accessible, though not all are. Some are secured, others are open. And still others appear to have no security, but require either access codes or some other form of access agreement acknowledgment via a browser. It is possible to connect to such a signal, appear to be connected, and still require validation.

Once the Cruz has successfully connected to any SSID, it is saved. The unit will try to autoconnect to the most recently successful connection. When that SSID is no longer available, it is listed in the Wi-Fi networks list as “Not in range, remembered” in the status line.

Troubleshooting

1. If you change the password of your wireless network, be sure to also change the remembered password.

2. If the connection is not made automatically, you may need to scan again by tapping Menu > Scan

3. If scanning appears ineffective, turn off Wi-Fi and turn it back on again, then scan again.

4. If your Wi-Fi seems to turn off when your device sleeps, you may disable this under Menu> Wi-Fi Sleep Policy.

5. Be sure that the signal strength is not too weak or not in range, understanding that other radio devices like cordless phones may interfere with the signal quality.

6. Some Wi-Fi signals, though listed as unsecured, may still block connections using MAC address filtering. This will need to be disabled in the Wi-Fi router, or the device’s MAC address will need to be added to the router as an acceptable device connection.

7. Some Wi-Fi signals appear to be unsecured, but once connected, opening the web browser does not take you to your home page, but to a security page where you must enter credentials or agree to terms of use before getting full web access.

IV. Email Setup

Introduction

The pre-installed Email app is a simple but effective email client for both POP3 and IMAP email services. Conﬁ guration is automatic for some email services. For those that are auto-conﬁ gured, you only need to enter the email address and password, then click next. If this does not work, you’ll need to manually conﬁ gure your account. Details are below.

Prior to beginning, you will need detailed email conﬁ guration information which is available from your service provider. You may have to locate the server settings information at your Email Provider’s support website, or you may need to call their support line. Unfortunately Velocity Micro cannot provide assistance with this step. Below is the information you will need:

You must select POP3, IMAP, or Exchange according to your email

Server Type

service provider’s instructions. Typically this is POP3, but many are now allowing for IMAP service. If you need to connect to an Exchange server, contact your business systems Network Administrator for assistance.

Username or Email Adress

Password The password is case sensitive

Incoming mail server This is the address at which your incoming mail is waiting for you.

Port

Outgoing mail server This is the address which is waiting for your outgoing mail.

Port

Security Type

Next, complete the ﬁ elds for the Incoming Server portion of the manual setup. After completing the Incoming Server portion of the manual setup, the app will test your settings. If everything is correct, it will proceed with the Outgoing Server portion of the manual setup. Once that test completes, give the account a name, enter your display name, and you’re done

This must be either your email alias (the part in front of the @ character), or your full email address.

You must specify a port number for communication with your incoming mail server.

You must specify a port number for communication with your outgoing mail server.

You must specify if/whether a security method is required for communication with your incoming mail server.

V. Saving Battery Life

Very Low Battery Full Battery Charging Battery

Tips on Extending Battery Life

1 Streaming audio or video apps will use a lot of battery life

Disable Wireless Network Positioning. You can turn it off from Settings > Location & Security > Use wireless networks.

Switch off Wi-Fi if you’re not close to a strong Wi-Fi signal for extended periods of time. This puts strain on the device.

Use a Quick Screen Timeout. You can alter this option from Settings > Sound & display > Screen timeout.

Reduce brightness to a comfortable level using a widget (Section IV) or at Settings >Sound & display > Brightness.

Use Web Widgets wisely. Widgets that access the Web consume more power than widgets that do not.

Reduce Automatic Updates. Adjust settings within your apps that use an autoupdate feature to do so rarely or only manually.

You may consider a power management app that will regulate the settings discussed above.

VI. Device Storage and ASTRO

There are TWO areas for storage on this device:

NOTE: To protect your SD card’s file and

directory structure integrity, it should be unmounted before removed. To do this, tap Menu > Settings > SD card & device storage > and under SD card tap Unmount SD card.

This best practice is not always followed by most users, and generally no data loss occurs. When this does happen, the Cruz may attempt to save lost data to a folder called LOST.DIR. This folder generally has useless data and can be ignored.

The Android operating system uses this internal embedded storage. You may not edit or change these files.

VI. Device Storage and ASTRO cont’d

ASTRO is your ﬁ le manager app. Use it to browse your storage location and

manage ﬁ les on the SD card. It also features an Application Manager to help install or uninstall your apps, and an SD usage monitor as well. Learn more about how to use ASTRO at

You can even use ASTRO to kill all tasks. When multiple apps are running at once, more energy is used up and your device runs slower. Adding a task killing shortcut on your homescreen is very useful to avoid this. Follow these steps:

Using ASTRO as a Task Killer

1 Open ASTRO

2 Tap “Preferences” (Prefs icon on toolbar)

3 Tap “Home Screen Icons”

VIII. File Formats

The ﬁ le formats that this device can support are numerous, but not inﬁ nite. The preinstalled apps should allow you to view many Microsoft Ofﬁ ce ﬁ le formats, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, as well as many eReader ﬁ le types, and music and video ﬁ le types.

Most ﬁ les should work, but not all ﬁ les are encoded the same. For example, some MPEG4 ﬁ les will work but others may not, depending on how they were encoded and compressed. It should be treated with a case-by-case approach.

XI. Reading 3rd Party eBooks

Many eReader files are in the ePUB file format. The Cruz Tablet does not natively support this file format, so an additional application available on the Cruz Market must first be downloaded.

Keep in mind that many ePUB files are also DRM- protected (Digital Rights Management), preventing illegal distribution of publications. In order to read DRM-protected ePUBs, you will need to download a specialized application that manages the DRM requirements.

XII. Playing Media

How To Listen to Music, View Images, and Play Video

Not only does your Cruz Tablet hold tons of eBooks, browse the web, and keep you connected with social networks, it also functions as a great portable media player too. Just load up your SD card with your music collection, favorite pictures, or digital videos and take all of your favorites on the road with you. See Section VII for more info on how to do this. Here’s how to get started:

Music

After loading your music onto your Cruz, tap the music icon (found by default on your home screen or by opening the App Panel). You’ll be given the option of selecting by Artist, Song, Album, or custom Playlist. Tap to select. Your selection will begin to play through the Cruz’s built in speakers or through external headphones if attached via the headphone port. The Cruz media player allows you to shufﬂ e, skip, or pause your current selection and even displays the album artwork when available.

After loading your media (see Section VII) tap Gallery on your home screen or within the App Panel, then select All Pictures. Tap the desired picture to display. To scroll through your collection, tap left or right.

You can even set images as your wallpaper or share via your social networks by using the icons along the top of the display.

XII. Playing Media cont’d

Set images as your Home Screen background!

Share via social network or email!

Delete an image from your memory

Video

You can play videos stored on your Cruz’s SD card via the gallery function as well. To play, tap Gallery, then All Videos, then select the video you’d like to play. Your selection should begin automatically. Pause or advance your video via the toolbar along the bottom of the screen.

NOTE: Your media playback experience will be optimal with no

other apps or widgets running in the background. If you experience hesitation or stuttering with your video or audio playback, first try terminating all running applications. See the ASTRO section (pg 13) for help terminating applications.

XIII. Flash and Youtube

Flash Video

Android 2.2 is considered a major upgrade on previous Android operating systems due a number of reasons. Among these are faster processing speeds, easier navigation, less operational bugs, and the ability to support Flash. The Cruz T301 beneﬁ ts from most of these upgrades, but it’s processor CANNOT natively support Flash when using the preinstalled browser.

The good news is that there are several downloadable browser applications that get around this limitation. We recommend Skyﬁ re.

YouTube Videos

YouTube.com utilizes a Flash player to display videos. That means that your Cruz T301

will NOT be able to access Youtube.com through its preinstalled browser. With the aforementioned Skyﬁ re application, you may gain access to YouTube.

There are also third-party Youtube-viewing applications that work nicely with the Cruz T301. Among these are __________, ____________, and _____________. These are apps speciﬁ cally designed to integrate with Youtube.

XIV. Installing Apps

Where Do I Get Apps From?

Android Applications are available via the Cruz Market or other third-party sources like the developer’s website.

Many Android apps are designed for use with phone devices rather than just tablet devices, but many, many more are great for use on tablets! You can also install any number of eReader Android apps, allowing you to have multiple eReader ﬁ le formats, all on one Cruz

CruzMarket

Visit the CruzMarket for access to 100’s of apps. Some of them are free downloads!

To the right you’ll see the expandable App Panel that can be found at the bottom of the homescreen. This is the portal through which all of your applications can be accessed.

NOTE: Google does not permit access to the Official Android Market at this time

for any tablet not identified as a “phone” or anything with a screen over 7 inches.

XIV. Installing Apps cont’d

How Do I Install An App?

The installation ﬁ le for Android has a ﬁ le extension of .APK. The steps below explain how to install these on your Cruz.

Download your app to your PC. Files are often distributed in archive format (ie: .ZIP, .RAR). If so, their contents ﬁ rst must be ex-

Step 1

Step 2

tracted so that the .APK ﬁ le is all that remains. Note: If the ﬁ le you download looks like “appname.apk” you can skip to Step 2.

Unmount the SD card prior to removal. Once unmounted, eject the SD card that accompanied your Cruz device, insert it into the SD slot on your PC, and copy the appname.apk ﬁ le to it.

Open the Application Manager (Settings > Applications) and make

Step 3

Step 4

sure the Unknown Sources option is checked so that you may install 3rd party apps.

Open your File Manager app and navigate to your /sdcard folder to locate your app. Tap to install using Application Manager.

NOTE: If your application fails to install, this may be due to an incompatibility with

your Cruz. Applications that are coded to use hardware features not included in your Cruz (GPS, 3G) may not install or function properly.

How Do I Uninstall An App?

Slide the app panel up and tap on Settings > then Applications > Manage Applications> tap on the unwanted app> then Uninstall. Follow the prompts to complete the uninstallation.

NOTE: Preinstalled apps cannot be uninstalled!
