applications.

Uninstalling an application
You can remove programs installed on your tablet to free up extra storage 
memory. Tap and hold a program icon from the application menu and drag it 
into the Uninstall area in the top-right corner.

applications. Tap the application you wish to uninstall, tap Uninstall and 
confirm the uninstall.
Warning! You should only remove programs if you are familiar with the 
Android operating system.
Updating your tablet’s operating system
Your tablet can download and install system updates, adding support for new 
devices or expanding software options.
To check for updates, tap Apps > Settings > About tablet > System update > 
Check now. 
Note: Downloading new firmware can take up to 40 minutes, depending on 
your network speed.
Resetting your tablet
You may have to perform a reset if your tablet fails to respond when buttons 
are pressed or the screen is tapped.
To reset your tablet use a small thin object (such as a paperclip) to press the 
recessed reset button. 
Clean boot
A clean boot will restore your tablet to the factory settings.
