DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE
Power/Lock: slide left and hold to switch on/off. Slide right to lock the device's touchscreen. When you slide left and hold, a window appears with a list of options (when the product is on). Tap on "Power Off" to fully shut down your ARNOVA. Tap on "Suspend" to put the device in standby (and allow a quick start up when you next tap the screen). While the device is in suspend mode, slide right to lock the device with its screen off. This can be useful if your ARNOVA is in your backpack, for example, and you do not want to wake it up by touching the screen by accident.

GO! STARTING UP
Before using your ARNOVA for the first time, completely charge the battery!

Connect the supplied power cable to the ARNOVA Power connector and to a wall outlet.
The ARNOVA device will turn on and start charging. The Power indicator light is red while the battery is charging. It will turn yellow when the battery is fully charged.
Installation Wizard
The first time you start up your ARNOVA, the installation wizard will bring you through a few screens to help you set up the principal settings: Language, country, time, etc.
CONNECTING TO THE WIFI NETWORK
For this procedure to work, you need to be in a WiFi zone that will allow you to connect to it. Every time the ARNOVA is in range of a network that you have already configured once, it will attempt to make a connection.
To configure a new WiFi network, go on the Home screen, tap on the Menu icon then select Settings. In the Settings screen, select Wireless & networks. If the WiFi is off, tap on the Wi-Fi line to turn it on. Then select Wi-Fi settings. The ARNOVA will scan for available WiFi networks and display them at the bottom of the screen. Tap on the network you want to connect to, enter the required network information* and then tap on Connect. Your ARNOVA will now attempt to establish a connection to that WiFi hot spot with the network parameters you entered.
- For free access WiFi points, there is no need to enter any special information. For secured networks, you will need either a key (a series of numbers and/or letters) of the type WEP, WPA, or WPA2. To obtain the exact connection parameters required, contact the Internet service provider.
