Touch-entry and typing are the big differences between a tablet and PC or laptop. You do not have a mouse or a keyboard. This is because your tablet understands your touch! Touch-taps, drags, swipes and even pinch & reverse-pinch gestures of your fingers communicate what you want to the tablet. Understanding the Different Gestures

• Tap: To act on items on the screen, such as application and settings icons, to type letters and symbols using the onscreen keyboard, or to press onscreen buttons, you simply touch them with your finger.
• 

• Drag: Touch and hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your finger, move your finger on the screen until you reach the target position.
• 

• Swipe or Slide: To swipe or slide, you quickly move your finger across the surface of the screen, without pausing when you first touch it. For example, you slide the screen up or down to scroll a list, and you can swipe the screen to change the range of items visible.
• 

• Double-Tap: Tap quickly twice on a webpage, map or other screen to zoom.
• 

• Pinch: In some applications, like maps and gallery, you can zoom in and out by placing two fingers on the screen at once and pinching them together (to zoom out) or spreading them apart (to zoom in).
• 

• Touch and Hold: Touch an item on the screen and do not lift your finger until an action occurs. For example, you can open a menu for customizing the Home screen by touching an empty area on the screen until the menu opens.

Water can result in the tablet short-circuiting. This will not be covered by warranty. Worse, this could lead to a person receiving an electric shock.
• Avoid any strong impact to the tablet, battery or charger. Doing so could result in a breakdown of the tablet or the tablet catching fire or exploding. The charger and battery are at the same risks.
• Please don’t place the tablet, battery or charger in regions with too high or too low temperatures. Else, the tablet, battery or charger may breakdown, catch fire or explode.
• Please don’t strike, throw or prick the tablet. Dropping and bending of the tablet must also be avoided.
• Please don’t dismantle the tablet and its accessories by yourself.

Please note that doing any of these will put your Pinig tablet and its accessories out of the warranty scope of our company. Also, please bear in mind that this is not a comprehensive list of precautions.
