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 apps.
Security
You can increase the security
settings to protect your eTouch™ by
using a unique unlock pattern. Tap
to Settings > Location and Security
>
Setup Screen Lock
, choose the
lock type and follow the on-screen
instructions.
Please note that
your unlock
pattern should
use at least 4
dots and the
eTouch™ will be
more secure with a greater number
of dots included in the pattern.

the square icon open a menu of your installed apps. To open an app just tap it
once and it will launch.
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

Connecting to a PC
The easiest way of transferring files to and from your tablet is using a Micro SD

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 Tablet 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.
