Glossary

This section provides information about the terms used in this document that is for informational purposes only and may or may not describe features included with your tablet.

A

A - ampere—A measure of the amount of electric charge passing a point in an electric circuit.

AC - alternating current—The form of electricity that powers your tablet when you plug the AC adapter power cable into an electrical outlet.

Ambient light sensor - A feature that helps to control the display brightness.

Apps - Software that allows you to perform a specific task. Your tablet is preloaded with a variety of applications, and additional applications can be downloaded from Google Play.

B

Bluetooth - a wireless technology for exchanging data, communicating with a keyboard or mouse, listening to music and creating a wireless personal area network over a short distance between devices. The connection may be restricted according to the Bluetooth profiles of each device. To be marketed as a Bluetooth device, it must be qualified to standards defined by the Bluetooth SIG.

D

Device - Hardware such as a disk drive, printer, or keyboard that is installed in or connected to your tablet.

E

Email - Electronic mail—a method of exchanging digital messages from an author to one or more recipients via the internet. Email servers accept, forward, deliver, and store messages, and neither the users nor their computers are required to be online simultaneously.

G

Google Now - An intelligent personal assistant developed by Google that works on a tablet or smartphone that runs Android. It serves as a day planner.

GRMS - A unit of acceleration caused by the force of gravity. The grms value is typically used to express the overall energy of a particular random vibration event and is a statistical value used in mechanical engineering for structural design and analysis purposes.

H

Hz - Hertz—A unit of frequency measurement that equals 1 cycle per second. Computers and electronic devices are often measured in kilohertz (KHz), megahertz (MHz), gigahertz (GHz), or terahertz (THz).

M

MicroSD - micro-Secure Digital—A smaller size of SD which is a removable flash memory card used for storing information in portable devices, such as mobile phones, digital cameras, and tablet computers. The standard size of SD is 32 x 24 x 2.1 mm (1.260 x 0.945 x 0.083 inches) and microSD is 15 x 11 x 1.0 mm (0.591 x 0.433 x 0.039 inches).

Micro-USB - micro-universal serial bus—A hardware interface for a low-speed device such as a USB-compatible scanner, set of speakers, printer, broadband devices, imaging devices, or storage devices. Devices are plugged directly in to a 5-pin socket on your tablet, both to communicate and to supply electric power. The micro-USB port can be connected to a standard USB port using micro-USB to USB cable.

R

Resolution - The sharpness and clarity of an image produced by a printer or displayed on a monitor. The higher the resolution, the sharper the image.

S

Service Tag - A bar code label on your tablet that identifies your tablet when you call Dell for customer service or technical support.

Shortcut - An icon that provides quick access to frequently used programs, files, folders, and drives. When you place a shortcut on your Android Home screen, touch the icon to open its corresponding folder or file without having to find it first. Shortcut icons do not change the location of files.

Sleep mode - A power management mode that shuts down all unnecessary computer operations to save energy.

V

V - volt—The measurement of electric potential or electromotive force. 1 volt appears across a resistance of 1 ohm when a current of 1 ampere flows through that resistance.

VAC - voltage in alternating current—A mathematics of AC voltages, as alternating currents are caused by alternating voltages.

VDC - voltage in direct current—A measurement in a DC system. The current flows directly, in one direction in the circuit, and flows at a specific, constant voltage.

W

W - watt—The measurement of electrical power. 1 watt is 1 ampere of current flowing at 1 volt.

Wallpaper - The background pattern or picture on the Home screen.

Wi-Fi - A technology as a synonym for WLAN (wireless local area network) connects to the internet when within range of a wireless network.

Widgets - A small application which resides on the Home screen and provides quick and easy access to information.

WXGA - wide-aspect extended graphics array—A video standard for video cards and controllers that supports resolutions up to 1280 x 800.
