About the Touchscreen

Your tablet comes equipped with an easy-to-use touch-screen.

Our capacitive multi-touchscreen requires gentle fingertip touch on the glass screen to activate tablet's functions. Multiple fingers may be used to perform gestures (e.g. 2-finger picture zoom).

Please note: Your finger tips must not be covered. A stylus may be used. Make sure it is for capacitive touchscreens.

COBY Kyros MID8048 - About the Touchscreen - 1

To avoid damaging the screen, do not touch it with excessive force or with any object other than your finger. For best response, make sure your hands are clean before using the touchscreen controls.

Protective Film

A thin film has been applied to the touchscreen to protect it during shipping. The protective film should be removed before use. To remove it, simply take a corner of the film and peel it away from the screen.

Touchscreen Actions

You can control the functions of the tablet by using the touchscreen in combination with the three touch keys located on the bezel. To control the tablet with the touchscreen, use your fingertip to manipulate icons, buttons, menu items, the on-screen keyboard, and other items displayed on the screen.

You can perform the following actions on the touchscreen using your fingertip or appropriate stylus.

Touch: To activate an on-screen item (e.g., application icons, buttons, menu items, and the letter/symbols of the on-screen keyboard), simply touch them with your fingertip.
Touch and Hold:Some on-screen items have an alternate action if you touch and hold it (e.g., opening an alternate menu, or to activate the drag function). To touch and hold an item, touch the item and do not lift your fingertip until the action occurs.
Drag: Drag an on-screen item to change its position (e.g., an application icon on the home screen). To drag an item, touch and hold it for a moment, then without lifting your fingertip, move your fingertip on the screen until the item reaches its target destination.
Swipe: Swipe up/down on the screen to scroll through a list. On some screens, you may be able to swipe left/right to change the view. To swipe, touch the screen and then quickly move your fingertip across the screen without lifting your fingertip. Do not pause on the screen with your fingertip at the initial point of contact or you may accidentally drag an item instead.
Double-tap: Quickly tap the screen twice on a webpage or other application screen to zoom (the application must support the double-tap/zoom function). Within the browser, double-tapping a web-page section will cause the browser to zoom and fit that section to the width of the screen.

About the Orientation Sensor

The tablet contains a sensor that will automatically change the orientation of most screens as you rotate the tablet. The sensor works best when the tablet is rotated perpendicular to the ground (i.e., when the tablet is held upright and not fat on its back).

COBY Kyros MID8048 - About the Orientation Sensor - 1
