What does it mean

?

The term “capacitance” literally means “the ability to hold electrical charge.” A capacitive touch
screen emits an electrical current from each of the screen’s four corners. Since the human body
holds an electrical charge, the user’s fi nger disturbs the electrical current when it touches the
screen. The Cruz’s processor translates the X and Y coordinates of the input.

The result is a highly responsive and intuitive touch screen surface, since it has nothing to do
with the pressure of your touch. As a direct result, the Cruz Tablet CANNOT be operated using a
traditional stylus. For best results, use your fi ngertips.

III. Get Started

Before continuing, understand that the display has a screen timeout by default set to 10 minutes.
If the unit is left inactive for that period of time, the screen will go dark as if turned off. However,
it is simply in standby mode. Tap the power button and a screen will appear with an arc with green
padlock button.
