Screen Rotation” check box.
TIP: If you are having trouble getting the screen to auto rotate
properly, make sure to adjust the tilt of the eo TufTab so that it is more
perpendicular to the ground when rotating it.

NOTE: To relaunch the control panel after accidentally closing it (as
opposed to hiding it) simply go to the “START Menu > All Programs >
Accelerometer Control Panel” and tap on the Accelerometer Control
Panel.
