What does it mean?

The term “capacitance” literally means “the ability to hold electrical charge.” A capacitive touch screen emits an electrical current from each of the screen’s four corners. Since the human body holds an electrical charge, the user’s fi nger disturbs the electrical current when it touches the screen. The Cruz’s processor translates the X and Y coordinates of the input.

The result is a highly responsive and intuitive touch screen surface, since it has nothing to do with the pressure of your touch. As a direct result, the Cruz Tablet CANNOT be operated using a traditional stylus. For best results, use your fingertips.

III. Get Started

Before continuing, understand that the display has a screen timeout by default set to 15 seconds. If the unit is left inactive for that period of time, the screen will go dark as if turned off. However, it is simply in standby mode. Tap the power button and a screen will appear with an arc with green padlock button.

text_image 12:21 PM Tue, Sep 28, 2010 Charged

This is your Lock Screen.

It appears to secure the touch screen from accidental touches. Simply slide one of the locks toward the center of the screen to unlock the device and your Home Screen will reappear.

The Battery should have a nominal charge on it out of the box and should charge fairly rapidly. Connect the charger to the DC-IN jack on your Cruz for 3 hours for a full charge lasting approximately 10 hours. The unit also charges when tethered to PC via USB. Battery life will vary due to many conditions, especially when using Wi-Fi and maximum screen brightness.

To start your Cruz, simply press the on/off button located at the left side of the device. When you first turn on the Cruz Tablet, you will be greeted with a CRUZ logo, then an ANDROID logo, and then your Home screen.

IV. Your Home Screen

Think of this as your desktop. What goes on the home screen is up to you. You can fi ll the space with any combination of short-cuts, widgets, and folders you like. Some preinstalled shortcut icons will appear at the bottom, and a Google Search Widget appears at the top.

Cruz T103 - Your Home Screen - 1

natural_image Gray house icon next to a black tablet displaying a mobile app interface (no text or symbols on the device)

When you power up your Cruz for the first time, you'll see the main home-screen panel. This panel is typically centered; you can access additional panels on either side of the main one by swiping your finger left or right.

Along the righthand side of your device, you will see three icons. When holding the device horizontally, from top to bottom, the icons areHomeMenu, andBack
On the right side of the screen, you will find the time. To the left of the date, you will see a Battery Life iconThis icon changes to a Battery Charging icon when the DC Adapter is connected and plugged into the wall socket, regardless if there is a full charge or not. To the left of that will appear a Wi-Fi icon, but only when connected. The icon will show your Wi-Fi signal strength as well.
To the far left of the Status Bar is the Notifi cation Area. Various icons will appear for different reasons, notifying you of change of status or the completion of tasks being performed. For instance, the image to the right indicates that the Cruz Tablet is tethered to your computer. For more information about these notifi cations, swipe the Status Bar downward to open the Notifi cation Panel. When tasks are completed, you can open these fi les or clear these notifi cations. You can close the Notifi cation Panel by swiping up again from the panel's control handle.
The button at the bottom of the screen accesses your App Panel. Tap or swipe the button upward to view and access your installed apps. This is where you look to find your newly installed apps. Tap again or swipe down to close this panel and view your Home Screen again.

IV. Your Home Screen (Cont'd)

Adding Widgets to Your Home Screen:

Widgets are a feature of an application that you may install, allowing you to place a function of that app onto your Home Screen. For instance, you may add an Analog clock to your Home Screen.

To add a widget, simply tap and hold (long press) your fi nger on any open space on your home screen, and select Widgets from the context menu that opens. From there, select any of the available widgets. (The image shown here includes third party apps not included on your Tablet.

Cruz T103 - Adding Widgets to Your Home Screen: - 1

text_image Add to Home screen Shortcuts Widgets Folders Wallpapers

Tapping/holding on an open spot on the homescreen opens this window, from which you choose "Widgets."

text_image Choose widget Advanced Task Killer Analog clock antivirus Calendar Music Picture frame Power Control Search Twidroyd Twidroyd (large)

After tapping "Widgets," this window expands and gives you all the widget options that your Cruz has installed or isn't currently using.

If you decide you don't want the widget on your homescreen anymore, simply tap and hold the unwanted icon or widget. The Application Panel handle becomes a Trash Can. Drag the item to the trash can and release it when it turns red.

V. Connecting to Wi-Fi

For the sake of this guide, the assumption is that you are connecting to your Cruz to your own home Wi-Fi Access Point (AP) or a free unsecured Wi-Fi hotspot. From the Home Screen, select the shortcut icon that reads Wi-Fi Settings and ensure that both Wi-Fi and Network Notification are enabled with green check marks. After a moment, your Wi-Fi networks list should populate. If you need to rescan for available networks, tap Menu> then tap Scan.

Detected networks will appear with a SSID to the left (ie, AQFQ7), a status line beneath the SSID, a signal strength icon to the right.

Those that are secure will feature a padlock.

Cruz T103 - Connecting to Wi-Fi (Cont'd) - 1

text_image Connect to vm-ls06 Signal strength Excellent Security WEP Connect Forget Cancel

Tap the network you wish to connect to and then click Connect.

For unprotected networks, this method should suffi ce. The Wi-Fi icon should now appear with full (or near full) strength next to the date and time.

Accessibility

If a password is required, tap the password text fi eld for the popup keyboard.

Many public Wi-Fi hotspots are freely accessible, though not all are. Some are secured, others are open. And still others appear to have no security, but require either access codes or some other form of access agreement acknowledgment via a browser. It is possible to connect to such a signal, appear to be connected, and still require validation.

Once the Cruz has successfully connected to any SSID, it is saved. The unit will try to auto-connect to the most recently successful connection. When that SSID is no longer available, it is listed in the Wi-Fi networks list as "Not in range, remembered" in the status line.

Troubleshooting

1) If you change the password of your wireless network, be sure to also change the remembered password.
2) If the connection is not made automatically, you may need to scan again by tapping Menu> then Scan.
3) If scanning appears ineffective, turn off Wi-Fi and turn it back on again, then scan again.
4) If your Wi-Fi seems to turn off when your device sleeps, you may disable this under Menu> Wi-Fi Sleep Policy.
5) Be sure that the signal strength is not too weak or not in range, understanding that other radio devices like cordless phones may interfere with the signal quality.
6) Some Wi-Fi signals, though listed as unsecured, may still block connections using MAC address fiitering. This will need to be disabled in the Wi-Fi router, or the device's MAC address will need to be added to the router as an acceptable device connection.
7) Some Wi-Fi signals appear to be unsecured, but once connected, opening the web browser does not take you to your home page, but to a security page where you must enter credentials or agree to terms of use before getting full web access.

VI. Saving Battery Life

You may learn about your power consumption in Settings > About device > Battery > Battery or use an app designed to analyze usage patterns.

Very Low Battery Full Battery Charging Battery

Tips on Extending the Life of Your Battery:

  1. Understand that streaming audio or video apps will use a lot of battery life
  2. Disable Wireless Network Positioning

You can turn it off from Settings > Location & Security > Use wireless networks.

  1. Switch off Wi-Fi

If you're not close to a strong Wi-Fi signal for extended periods of time, disable Wi-Fi from a homescreen widget or from Settings > Wireless & Networks > Wi-Fi.

  1. Use a Quick Screen Timeout

You can alter this option from Settings > Sound & display > Screen timeout.

  1. Turn Down the Screen Brightness

Reduce brightness to a comfortable level using a widget (Section IV) or at Settings > Sound & display > Brightness.

  1. Use Web Widgets Wisely

Widgets that access the Web consume more power than widgets that do not.

  1. Reduce Automatic Updates

Adjust settings within your apps that use an auto-update feature to do so rarely or only manually.

  1. You may consider a power management app that will regulate the settings discussed above

Protecting Your SD Card

To protect your SD card's file and directory structure integrity, it should be unmounted before removed. To do this, tap Menu > Settings > SD card & device storage > and under SD card tap Unmount SD card. This best practice is not always followed by most users, and generally no data loss occurs. When this does happen, the Cruz may attempt to save lost data to a folder called LOST.DIR. This folder generally has useless data and can be ignored.

ASTRO is your fi le manager app. Use it to browse your storage location and manage fi les on the SD card. It also features an Application Manager to help install or uninstall your apps, and an SD usage monitor as well. Learn more about how to use ASTRO at http://www.metago.net/

VII. Device Storage and ASTRO (Cont'd)

You can also end running applications (End Task) using ASTRO. Follow these steps to place a shortcut on your Home Screen.

Open ASTRO > Preferences (Prefs icon on toolbar) > Home Screen Icons > check the box for Processes

Now tap Home and tap on your new shortcut to open the app. Stick to the Apps tab and leave the Services and Processes tabs alone to avoid system instability.

XII. Installing ePUBs

Many eReader files are in the ePUB file format. The Cruz Tablet does not natively support this file format, so an additional application available on the Cruz Market must first be downloaded.

Keep in mind that many ePUB files are also DRM-protected (Digital Rights Management), preventing illegal distribution of publications. In order to read DRM-protected ePUBs, you will need to download a specialized application that manages the DRM requirements.

For instructions on how to read a DRM-protected ePUB on your Cruz, visit www.cruztablet.com or call one of our support technicians at 1-800-296-4312

XIV. Installing Apps

Android Applications are available via the Cruz Market or other third-party sources like the developer's website.

Many Android apps are designed for use with phone devices rather than just tablet devices, but many, many more are great for use on tablets! You can also install any number of eReader Android apps, allowing you to have multiple eReader file formats, all on one Cruz Tablet.

XIV. Installing Apps(Cont'd)

The installation fi le for Android has a fi le extension of .APK. The step b delow ex- plain how to install these on your Cruz.

Step 1Download your app to your PC. Files are often distributed in archive format (ie: .ZIP, .RAR). If so, their contents fi rst must be extracted so that the .APK fi le is all that remains. Note: If the fi le you download looks like “appname.apk” you can skip to Step 2.
Step 2Unmount the SD card prior to removal. Once unmounted, eject the SD card that accompanied your Cruz device, insert it into the SD slot on your PC, and copy the appname.apk fi le to it.
Step 3Open the Application Manager (Settings > Applications) and make sure the Unknown Sources option is checked so that you may install 3rd party apps.
Step 4Open your File Manager app and navigate to your /sdcard folder to locate your app. Tap to install using Application Manager.

NOTE: If your application fails to install, this may be due to an incompatibility with your Cruz. Applications that are coded to use hardware features not included in your Cruz (GPS, camera, 3G) may not install or function properly.

Uninstalling Apps

Slide the app panel up and tap on Settings > then Applications > Manage Applications > tap on the unwanted app> then Uninstall. Follow the prompts to complete the uninstallation.
