About the Touchscreen

Your tablet comes equipped with an easy-to-use touch-

screen which allows access to the tablet’s functions. Use

your nger tip (or a stylus) to touch the area of the screen

where a control icon is displayed. If you touch and hold

the screen, it will register as a continuous button press.

To avoid damaging the screen, do not touch it

with excessive force or with any object other

than your nger or a stylus. For best response,

make sure your hands are clean before using

the touchscreen controls.

Protective Film

A thin lm has been applied to the touchscreen to protect

it during shipping. The protective lm should be removed

before use. To remove it, simply take a corner of the lm

and peel it away from the screen

Using the Stylus

A stylus is included for your convenience and is the

preferred method for interacting with the tablet. You can

use the tip of the stylus to make precise selections on the

touchscreen.

The stylus is stored in the top left corner of the tablet.

Return the stylus to its storage compartment when it is

not in use.

Using Your Finger Tip

The touchscreen is designed for

precision and responds best when

touched with the smallest point

possible.

Use the tip of your ngernail to

touch the screen. The hard, curved

edge of the ngernail makes contact

with the touchscreen at a small

point, allowing for much greater

precision than if you were to use the

at pad of your nger.

Touchscreen Actions

You can control the functions of the tablet by using the

touchscreen. To control the tablet with the touchscreen,

use your ngertip or stylus to manipulate icons, buttons,

menu items, the onscreen keyboard, and other items

displayed on the screen.

Page 10 Getting To Know The Mid7015

English

You can perform the following actions on the touchscreen

using your ngertip or stylus.

Touch: To activate an on-screen item (e.g.,

application icons, buttons, menu

items, and the letter/symbols of the

on-screen keyboard), simply touch

them with your ngertip or stylus.

Touch and

Hold:

Some on-screen items have an

alternate action if you touch and hold

it (e.g., opening an alternate menu, or

to activate the drag function). To touch

and hold an item, touch the item and

do not lift your ngertip/stylus until the

action occurs.

Drag: Drag an on-screen item to change its

position (e.g., an application icon on

the home screen).

To drag an item, touch and hold it for

a moment, then without lifting your

ngertip/stylus, move your ngertip/

stylus on the screen until the item

reaches its target destination.

Swipe: Swipe up/down on the screen to scroll

through a list. On some screens,

you may be able to swipe left/right to

change the view.

To swipe, touch the screen and then

quickly move your ngertip/stylus

across the screen without lifting your

ngertip/stylus. Do not pause on the

screen with your ngertip/stylus at

the initial point of contact or you may

accidentally drag an item instead.

Double-tap: Quickly tap the screen twice on a

webpage or other application screen to

zoom (the application must support the

double-tap/zoom function). Within the

browser, double-tapping a webpage

section will cause the browser to zoom

and t that section to the width of the

screen.

English

About the Orientation Sensor

The tablet contains a sensor that will automatically

change the orientation of most screens as you rotate the

tablet. The sensor works best when the tablet is rotated

perpendicular to the ground (i.e., when the tablet is held

upright and not at on its back).

The orientation sensor can be turned on an off in the

Sound & display settings menu.

Charging the Tablet

The tablet comes with a built-in rechargeable lithium-

polymer battery.

Before using the tablet, the battery should be charged

fully. The Status Indicator will light green when the bat-

tery is charged fully.

To charge the battery:

Plug one end of the included power adapter into an 1.

AC 100-240V outlet.

Plug the other end of the included power adapter into 2.

the Power jack on the tablet.

Disconnect the power adapter when the tablet is fully 3.

charged.

The battery used in this device may present a re

or chemical burn if mistreated. Do not disassemble,

incinerate, or heat the device. Do not leave the de-

vice in a place subject to direct sunlight, or in a car

with its windows closed. Do not connect the device

to a power source other than that which is indicated

here or on the label as this may result in the risk of

re or electric shock.

Page 12 Getting To Know The Mid7015

Inserting a Memory Card

The tablet accepts microSDHC memory cards. Insert a

memory card into the microSDHC card slot to:

Increase the memory capacity of your tablet 

Play media les stored on the memory card (e.g., 

music, video, or photo les).

To insert a memory card:

Align the memory card with the card slot. The metal 1.

contacts of the memory card should face the back of

the tablet and away from the LCD screen.

Slide the card into the spring-loaded slot. Push the 2.

card in until it clicks into place.

Do not attempt to insert objects other than a

microSD or microSDHC memory card into the

card slot. A compatible memory card should t

easily into the card slot; if you encounter resis-

tance, check the alignment of the card. Do not

attempt to force the card in.

Avoid touching the gold contacts of the memory

card.

To release and remove a memory card:

UNMOUNT the memory card.1.

From the home screen, press the a. Menu key, and

then touch Settings to show the settings menu.

Touch b. SD card & device storage to show the

SD card & device storage settings.

Touch c. Unmount SD card to prepare the memory

card for safe removal.

Push the card further into the slot until you hear a 2.

click. The card will spring out of the slot.

Grasp the card by its edge to remove it.3.

To avoid damage and data corruption, do not

remove a memory card while data is being writ-

ten to or read from the card. For example, do not

remove a card while playing a music le stored

on the card.

About the Protective Case

The tablet comes preinstalled in a protective case.

To remove the tablet from the case:

There are 5 tabs around the edge of the tablet that

secure it within the case.

Identify the smallest tab located by the top-right 1.

corner. This tab is circled in the illustration below.

To release the tablet, use your thumb to gently push 2.

the tab away to the right so that it unhooks from the

edge of the tablet.

Lift and slide the tablet away from the case.3.
