Adding and Removing Widgets

Widgets are self-contained applications that reside either in your Widgets tab or on the main or

Widgets can include Contacts shortcuts, bookmarks, music playlists, Gmail and email accounts,

and many other types of apps.

1. Press

to display the Home screen.

2. Touch and hold an empty area of the Home screen, and then choose Apps and

widgets

> Widgets.

3. Touch and hold a widget, and then drag it to a Home screen. Release the widget to lock

it on the screen.

Removing a Widget

1. Press

to display the Home screen.

2. Touch and hold the desired widget, and then drag it to the Remove icon.

Note

: This action does not delete the widget—it simply removes it from the current screen.

Extended Home Screens

In addition to the main Home screen, your tablet can have up to six extended Home screens to

provide more space for adding icons, widgets, and more. Touch and hold the icon or widget and

then drag across the screen to move from the main screen to an extended screen.

There can be up to six extended screens in addition to the main Home screen.

: You cannot add more screens, unless you have previously deleted any of the existing

screens. The maximum number of home screens is seven.
