How do i connect my eTouch to my WIFI?
Follow the instructions below to connect to a b/g Wi-Fi Connection:
:: From the home screen tap Settings, then Wireless and networks.
:: Then tap Wi-Fi to turn on the eTouch™’s Wi-Fi module
(please note that this will use your battery life faster).
:: Tap Wi-Fi Settings, then Add Wi-Fi Network. The eTouch™ will then automatically scan for available Wi-Fi hotspots.
:: Select the desired Wi-Fi hotspot from the list.
:: If the hotspot doesn't have a password it will automatically connect, however if it ‘secure’, a password window will pop up letting you enter the correct password. For password details refer to your ISP or the staff at the internet cafe/coffee shop etc.

Troubleshooting your Wi-Fi Connection.
If you have problems connecting your tablet to the internet via your home WI-FI, you would need to call your internet service provider, asking them to temporarily lower the internet’s security encryption key to WEP, making it an open network, which will allow the tablet to connect to the internet. Once connected, you should have no further problems with getting online on your tablet and should ask the internet provider to up the security back to its former status (whilst on the phone, this should only take a few minutes).

Setting the date and time
Some of the eTouch™’s software (like the App Market) and widgets require the date and time to be correct to function correctly. To set the time and date go to Settings > Date & time. Uncheck the Automatic setting then click Set Date, use the + and - buttons to change the date and then press Set. Click Set Time, use the + and - buttons to change the date and then press Set. Please Note: If you run completely out of battery life you will lose your time and date settings.

How do I download Apps?
You can search and download thousands of apps using the “Market” App pre-loaded on your eTouch.
NOTE: to download apps you need to be connected to Wi-Fi, have a Google Account, and have the correct time and date in your Settings.
If you don't have a FREE Google Account its quick and easy to set up when you open the Market app for the first time- just tap the 'Create' button and follow the on-screen instructions.
Once you've logged in the eTouch will remember your details so you dont have to log in next time (as long as you don't completely drain the eTouch's battery).
You can either browse for apps under the 'Apps' or 'Games' tabs which contain categories to help you find the best apps for your lifestyle. To search for an App, press the Magnifying Glass icon at the top right of the screen and using the virtual keyboard type the name of the app, for example 'Angry Birds' into the search box that pops up.

Movie Rentals
The latest version of the Android Market allows for Movie Rentals to be downloaded to any Android mobile device that has the capability to use Google's copy protection system. Devices lacking this capability may not be able to view Google rented movies.
If a movie has been rented and is unable to play on your device it can still be watched using the web based version of the Android Market that can be accessed from a PC at http://market.android.com.
Please contact Elonex Customer Support if you require further advice.

Why won’t my eTouch turn on or charge?

Why is my battery not showing as 100% charged even though plugged in for over 8 hours?
This is a characteristic of the Android software system.  It will often just show as 90%+ even though fully charged. This is because it is plugged in and using system resources.
