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. Swipe: Quickly swipe your finger across the screen to switch screens or open lists of options or information. 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 menu of actions for that item. 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 apps ("applications"), widgets, and folders. See Personalizing Home screens on page 19. Note When you first see the Home screen, and your tablet is connected to the Internet, it will download a selection of recommended, optional apps. These may be deleted, as with any other downloaded app. Folders are groups of apps that occupy one space on a Home screen. See Adding folders to a Home screen on page 20. Widgets provide special functions, quick shortcuts to special app features, or serve as small apps that display constantly-updated information (like the time and weather). Many apps provide widgets, while some apps provide only a widget, and must be added and used from a Home screen. See Adding widgets to a Home screen on page 21.
