							8 - Charging your tablet
CHARGING YOUR TABLET
Assembling the power adapter
Your tablet is bundled with one of two types of USB power adapters: a 
fixed-prong type or a removable-prong type. Both types are described 
in this manual.
Fixed-prong type
The prongs and power adapter body form a complete piece, no 
assembly required. Simply slide the large end of the USB cable into 
the power adapter body (it will fit in only one direction). You cannot 
remove or switch the prongs with this type of adapter.
Removable-prong type
Align arrows on the power adapter head and body. Insert the head 
onto the power adapter body and turn the head towards CLOSE 
printed on the head until it clicks into place. Simply slide the large end 
of the USB cable into the power adapter body (it will fit in only one 
direction).

Note
It is normal for the tablet surface to become warm during charging or long

							10 - Using your tablet
USING YOUR TABLET
Using the touchscreen
Your tablet uses a touchscreen for selecting items and entering 
information. Use your finger to tap the screen.
Tap: Touch the screen once to open items and select options.
Drag: Hold your finger on the screen and drag across the screen to 
select text and images.
Tap and hold: Tap and hold an item to see a list of actions available 
for that item. On the pop-up menu that appears, tap the action you 
want to perform.
Scroll: To scroll up or down the screen, simply drag your finger up or 
down the screen in the direction that you want to scroll.
The Home screen
When you start your tablet, or wake it from power saving, it will display 
the Home screen. This screen gives you quick access to applications 
(or APPs), widgets, and folders. See Adding APPs to a Home 
screen on page 15.
Widgets are a little different than APPs. They provide special 
functions, quick shortcuts to a certain APP features, or serve as small 
APPs that display constantly-updated information (like the time and 
weather). Some have been pre-installed on your tablet, while others 
may be downloaded from Google Play. See Adding widgets to a 
Home screen on page 16.
Folders are simply groups of APPs that occupy one APP-sized space 
on a Home screen. See Adding folders to a Home screen on 
page 17.
The extended Home screen
You can extend the Home screen to give you more room to add 
widgets or organize shortcuts. To do so, you must add an APP or
