Why a tablet?

• In todays high tech and high demand world the
  tablet offers a wide variety of versatile and
  effective tools to use with about any of todays
  demands.
• In laymans words, it works better than your old
  desktop, and you can take this one home to do
  your work.
• Isnt this a sweet deal or what?

4
Safety First

• Do not, I repeat DO NOT drop, shower, bath, or
  disassemble your tablet.
• It is also strongly suggested not to have open
  container liquids around your tablet. (Accidents
  do happen)
• Remember, YOU are responsible for this equipment,
  and there is a replacement fee for any damaged or
  destroyed equipment.

5
Getting Started

• Your tablets have been fully charged, but it is
  your responsibility to keep them that way.
• The connection to plug your tablet into its power
  supply is located on the upper left side of the
  keyboard.
• Plug it in whenever you can in order to keep your
  tablet fully charged.

Opening you tablet

• Now some of you may be wonderingHow do I OPEN
  my new tablet?.
• Well the answer to this is very simple, there is
  a silver button sticking out from the lid. All
  you do is press this button and it opens with
  great ease.

Turning on the Tablet

• Now with your tablet screen up look to the bottom
  right corner of the screen.
• There is one button and one switch.
• Now the button is the power button just like on
  your desktop.
• The Switch is a lock, when the switch is clicked
  down the power button does not work.

10
Power Button and Switch
11
Turning on the Tablet Continued

• The switch is there so you can lock the power
  button so once the computer is on and if the
  power button gets bumped you wont accidentally
  shut off your tablet.
• This is especially useful when you have the
  tablet set IN tablet mode.

12
Tablet Mode

• Now the nicest ability of the tablet is exactly
  where its name comes from, the tablet mode.
• If you look closely you can see that the screen
  is attached to the base of the tablet at the
  center.
• This is the swivel point for the screen.

13
Swivel Point
14
Tablet Mode Continued

• On the swivel point there is an arrow.
• This arrow indicates the direction the screen
  rotates, which is counter-clockwise.
• Always check to make sure of the direction
  indicated by the arrow.
• REMEMBER, not all laptops, tablets, or notebooks
  are designed the same way.

Swivel Arrow Direction
16
Tablet Mode Continued

• Now after you have turned the screen completely
  around the back of the screen should be facing
  you.
• After it is all you need to do now is pull the
  screen down so that the display screen is facing
  the ceiling.
• You should hear a click once the screen is down,
  but dont worry its just the magnetic latches
  clicking into place.

17
Laying the screen down
18
Tablet Mode Continued

• If you do not hear a click you screen may not be
  lined up just right.
• Just gently make sure the screen edges are line
  up with the keyboard/base edges, and gently move
  it until you do hear the click.

Using your Tablet IN tablet mode

• Now at first navigating in this mode is tricky,
  but Gateway has made it slightly easier.
• There are 5 buttons on one side of the screen,
  and the power and lock switch on the other.
• We will go through these 5 buttons one by one.

21
The screen rotating button

• The furthest button on the outside of the screen
  is the screen rotation button.
• By pressing this button you will rotate the
  screen display 90 degrees.
• This allows you to use the tablet on whatever
  side you feel most comfortable with.

22
The ctrl-alt-del button

• The next button in is the ctrl-alt-del button.
• Since you cant really push this button without
  your keyboard this button does this for you.
• This is just in case you do have any trouble and
  need to restart or maybe just to end task a
  program that isnt working.

23
Windows Journal

• The third button from the outside is a program
  shortcut to open Windows Journal.
• We will talk more on Windows Journal later.

24
Function?

• This fourth button from the outside is a selector
  button for the round button.
• This will switch the round buttons functions.
• One function controls the speaker volume and
  brightness of your screen.
• While the other mode controls moving backwards,
  forwards, and scrolling for internet surfing.

25
Directional Pad

• Now in one mode this round button will
  brighten/dim your screen from up and down and
  control level of volume left to right, while the
  middle of this button mutes the speaker volume.
• In the other mode the button works as a forward
  and backwards button for web browsing while up
  and down works as a scrolling button. While the
  middle works just like pressing enter.

26
The pen is mightier than the Sword!

• Alright now down to the key device that makes the
  tablet work so well.
• This pen is the key to working with the tablet.
• It is basically like having a mouse that you hold
  in your hand and you actually press on the screen
  to click on things.
• (Not really hard though or you could crack the
  screen)

27
Where is this mighty pen?

• Alright now the pen is located in the tablet
  itself.
• To get it out there is a button on the bottom of
  the tablet.
• The pen and the button are located underneath the
  left side of the speaker edge of the tablet.
• The button slides towards the edge of the tablet
  and the pen pops right out.

28
The Sword-Pen
29
Holding the pen

• Now you can hold the pen just like you would hold
  a regular pen.
• This pen works on the screen no matter if its
  down or up, or which way the screen is rotated.
• There is a button on the side of the pen though
  that I would suggest placing where you can easily
  press it.
• This button will be explained in a second.

30
The Pen..again
31
The Button.!!

• The button you see on the side of the pen is a
  very simple function button.
• This is basically the same as if you right
  clicked on your mouse.
• It will bring up the little menu just like a
  right click.

32
Calibration

• Now, when you hold your pen up to the screen you
  may notice that the pointer isnt quite under the
  pen tip.
• Thats because the pen needs to be calibrated to
  the way you hold it.
• This is a very simple process that I shall
  explain.

33
Calibration continued

• First click on the Start Menu.
• From there click on Control Panel.
• Once in the control panel locate the Tablet and
  Pen Settings icon.
• Then click on that icon.

34
PC settings navigation
35
Settings

• Now in the Tablet and Pen Settings window you
  can change the settings for your pen.
• All you really need to do though is click on
  which hand you use to write with, then click on
  Apply.
• Now click on the Calibrate button and follow
  the directions.
• Once you are done with calibration, click on the
  OK button and close the Control Panel window.

37
Windows Journal

• This program is one that comes standard with your
  tablet.
• It is basically like having a spiral notebook on
  your tablet, while your tablet is in tablet mode.
• If you click on the third button from the left it
  will open Windows Journal
• You can also access it through the start menu.

38
Windows Journal Continued

• In Windows Journal you can draw, write, doodle,
  basically what you want to do writing wise, you
  can.
• I suggest just playing with it and seeing the
  great and wonderful things you can do in Windows
  Journal.
• It really is a powerful tool.

39
The end!

• That is really all there is to know about a
  tablet that makes it so different than a desktop
  or normal laptop.
• These tablets are just as powerful and can do
  exactly what your desktops could do.
• Other than that, does anyone have any other
  questions that I could answer?

Mopping it up

• Alright that concludes this PowerPoint.
• I hope you all have a GREAT Day, and remember.
