Locking/Unlocking the Screen and
Keys
Your tablet allows you to quickly lock the screen and keys (put
the tablet to sleep mode) when not in use and to turn the screen
back on and unlock it when you need it.
 To lock the screen and keys:
To quickly turn the screen off and lock the keys, press the Power
Key.
NOTE: To save battery power, the tablet automatically turns off
the screen after a certain period of time when you leave it idle.
You will still be able to receive messages while the tablet screen
is off.
 To unlock the screen and keys:
1. P ress the Power Key to turn the screen on.
2. Touch and hold the icon on the screen.
NOTE: If you have set an unlock pattern, PIN or password for
your tablet (see chapter Personalizing – Protecting Your Tablet
With Screen Locks), you’ll need to draw the pattern or enter the
PIN/password to unlock your screen.
Using the Touch Screen
Your tablet’s touch screen lets you control actions through a
variety of touch gestures.
