Using Apps
System Panel
Your eTouch ‘multi-tasks’ so programs are never shut down until you turn the
tablet off. With too many programs open you may notice a drop in
performance so its best to periodically close some down. To do this, open the
System App ( On first use press OK)
,
tap
the app you wish to close, then tap
End Task
to close the selected app.
Program Menu
In the middle at the bottom of your home screen is the Program menu icon.
Tap the square icon in the centre to open a menu of your installed apps. To
open an app just tap it once and it will launch. You can customise where your
apps are by tapping and holding the icon then dragging and dropping it
where you want it to stay.
Menu Icons
At the top of your screen are the Menu icons. These give you important
information about the status of the eTouch™ as well as options and shortcuts.
You can quickly see whether you are
connected to Wi-Fi
(the number of Wi-Fi
bars increase or decrease depending on the signal strength), the amount of
charge in your
battery,
or
increase or decrease the volume
. Tap the
Back
button to go back to the previous screen.
Tap the Menu Icon at any time to bring up a menu of options relevant
to the screen you have open. For example on the home screen, tapping the
menu icon brings up ways to change your homescreen, and if you have the
eMail app open the menu icon brings up options to do with your eMail.

Wi-Fi Connection
Troubleshooting
If you have trouble connecting to
your Wi-Fi please check the
following:
:: Check you have included any
CaPiTaL letters as most passwords
are case sensitive
:: Check you haven’t got CAPS lock
toggled ON.
:: Check you have the correct
password for the hotspot and it
hasn’t been changed.
If you still can’t connect there may
be a temporary conflict with your
router’s security authentication.
Please contact your Internet Service
Provider, requesting to temporarily
lower the router’s security
encryption to WEP which will allow
the eTouch to connect to the
internet.
Once connected, you should have
no further problems with getting
online you can request that the ISP
return the encryption to its former
status. This can all be done over the
phone in a couple of minutes.
Resetting
If you experience any persistent
problems or a frozen screen, simply
press the reset button
using a
paperclip or the stylus. If the issue
