BASIC SETUP (DEPENDING ON MODEL)
This section explains the ports, cables, connections and hardware used to get you started. For more information and connection options see the next section on Using the V212/V212x.

2. Close the battery latch.
3. Connect the AC power cord to the AC/DC power adapter. Plug the adapter to the device.
4. Plug the AC power cord to an AC power source such as a wall outlet.

CAUTION: After the initial charge is complete, you can use the battery without the AC power cord; be sure to close the battery latch so the power can turn on. Or, you can use the supplied AC/DC power adapter plugged into an AC power source to charge, recharge, and/or operate the device.

USING THE STYLUS
Use the stylus to “tap” or “double-tap” on an application icon and to select items on the menu. The stylus is also used to “type” on the Input Panel. The two styli that are supplied with your V212/V212x are designed for your screen. Using other sharp pointers could damage your screen.
When not in use, you can conveniently place your stylus in the storage slot located on the top edge of your V212/V212x. A Stylus Tether has been provided to allow you to attach the stylus to the V212/V212x so it will not become lost or misplaced.

CALIBRATING THE TOUCH SCREEN
If your touch screen is not responding accurately to taps with the stylus, you may need to recalibrate the screen. To do so:
1. Tap on the control panel’s Settings button - the Settings window will open
2. Tap on the General Tab
3. Tap on the Realign Button in the Stylus section
4. Follow the on-screen instructions
5. When finished, tap the screen - the re-calibration is complete
The instructions will ask you to place the stylus on a series of cross-hair target symbols. When doing so, rather than just tapping the screen, hold the stylus in place for a second or two as directed until the program responds.
ADJUSTING THE STYLUS DOUBLE-TAP RATE
The double-tap rate can be set in the Settings window:
1. Tap on the control panel’s Settings button - the Settings window will open
2. Tap on the General Tab
3. Double-tap on the checkerboard graphic to set your double tap rate
4. Close the Settings window
To save your user and wireless settings, power-down the unit then resume.
