Home Screen and Widgets
The Home screen is the starting point for all of the features of your tablet. There are
additional applications in the App tray. To view them, press
which opens to the first
group of Apps. You can swipe to left or right to see the remaining group of Apps. The Home
screen is comprised of 3 separate areas; the main screen, and separate App/Widget
screens on the right and left side. These screens can be seen simply by swiping to either
side. Widgets are mini apps that run on your Home screen. Your tablet comes with several
by default, including a calendar and a clock, and you can download more. To move a
Widget, you can touch and hold the icon, then drag it to the desired location on the screen.
To remove it, touch and hold the Widget, and then drag it to the Remove icon at the top of
the screen.
Stand-by Mode
If you do not want to power-off the tablet, you can opt to deactivate just the LCD screen. This
will keep the tablet in Stand-by mode. To deactivate the screen, quickly press and release
the Power button. The screen will go black. To reactivate, simply press and release the Power
button again. (You may have to unlock the tablet in order to use it, depending on your
security settings.)
Touch to Move, Select and Change Information
The TM9S775 tablet screen is designed for you to touch it to move, select and manipulate
information. To select an item on the screen, simply tap it once with your fingertip or stylus.
Some items may require you to “double-tap”.
Text Entry Using the On-screen Keyboard
When you want to type information into a text field (i.e., when inputting your name, or a web
address), tap the text field. The on-screen keyboard will appear, and allow you to type the
information you wish to enter. You can enter text at the beginning of the line, at an insertion
point within existing line of text or manipulate information by formatting text, deleting text,
changing to upper/lower cases, performing Cut, Copy, Paste, etc. commands.
