FAQ’s POP8 
Q: How do I access multiple apps at the same time?  
A: The User Interface on the ONETOUCH POP8 is made to be simple and intuitive so for that reason we 
have given it the ability to manage several tasks at once through the use of the “Multi-Tasking” button 
at the bottom of the screen. This means you can quickly and easily access multiple windows that are 
open at the same time.   
The Multi-Tasking key will also allow you to close individual applications that you no longer need 
running by simply sliding each app to the left or right. You can close all of them at once by clicking 
“Clear All.”  This will help keep your tablet running smoothly! 
 
Q: How do I set an alarm?  
 A: The POP8 comes pre-loaded with an alarm clock; you 
can find it by selecting the “Time” app and then selecting 
“Alarm” along the bottom.  Create a new alarm by 
clicking on the “+” at the top of the screen. 
Q: How do I change my lock/home screen 
background? 
 A: Press and hold your finger on the POP8 home screen to  
activate a pop up Menu, then choose “Wallpapers” or “Live 
Wallpapers” from the list or choose a picture from the photo 
“Gallery.” Scroll through the options until you find a 
background that suits you and click “Set wallpaper.” Note: If 
you press and hold your finger over an app or a widget it will 
not activate the pop up Menu as the device will think you are 
trying to perform the delete/move function. 
Q: How do I change my message 
notification sound?   
 A: Open up your Messaging app, select the “Menu” key, 
which is shown as 3 small dots in the top-right corner of the 
screen.  You will then click “Settings” from the drop down 
and then “Notifications.” Click “Ringtone,” choose the one 
you prefer and click “OK.”  
Q: Can I set a unique ringtone for my contacts?   
 A: Unfortunately, not. Even though this tablet receives 
text messages it does not have the built-in ability to 
make/receive phone calls. However, you CAN video chat 
using SKYPE with the front-facing VGA camera!  
						

							 
 
 
 
Q: How do I take a screenshot? 
 
A: Simultaneously push and hold both the “Power” and 
“Volume Down” keys for 2-3 seconds.  The screenshot 
will then be available in the Gallery app. 
Q: How do I get to device settings?  
 A: You can either click on the app titled “Settings” or swipe 
in a downward motion from the top-right corner of any 
screen to activate a drop-down menu which will list the 
“Settings” icon there along with several other user setting 
shortcuts. 
Q: How do I upload a picture to Facebook?  
 A: Inside the Gallery app select the photo you wish to upload. 
Click “Share”            in the top-right corner of the screen.  You 
will then be given a series of options.  Select the “Facebook” 
icon and the image will be taken to the Facebook app.  You can 
then comment or tag your location/or friend(s) before clicking 
“Post.”  Note: You must login to your Facebook app prior to 
this step otherwise the icon will not appear.
