Convergence
Your Aquaris M10 Ubuntu Edition is the world’s first tablet with Ubuntu OS, which allows the
device to be used in a convergent way, among many other options. Convergence allows the user
to use two different interfaces, the tablet interface and the PC interface, in a single device.
You can use your tablet with a PC interface by connecting a mouse and a keyboard. To achieve
convergence, follow these simple steps:
A) Via Bluetooth:
1.
Enable your tablet’s Bluetooth connection, and the Bluetooth connection of the
device you want to connect to.
2.
Select the name of the device you want to connect to.
3.
Press Connect.
B) Via USB cable:
You will need a USB cable and a USB hub.
1.
Connect the mouse and keyboard to the hub.
2.
Plug the USB cable into the USB port on the hub.
3.
Plug the other end of the cable into the micro-USB port on your tablet.
Once the connection has been established by any of the methods mentioned above, the
interface will change straight to convergent (PC interface).
In this interface, apps and Scopes change to window mode. The Launcher, which opens
when you bring the cursors to the left edge of the screen, also looks different in convergence
mode. The
Home
icon moves to the top. Its function is to open the Scopes window. What’s
more, all of the app shortcuts move to the top of the Launcher.
Remember you can only link to one device at a time via Bluetooth, whether a keyboard or mouse. The
other device must be connected via USB. You can also connect to a single Bluetooth device which
contains both a mouse and keyboard.
Improve your experience by connecting the tablet to a monitor or TV via the HDMI Micro port.
