7tolino Manual
1.2 Basic operations
In the following sections I will describe a few important operations so that you can
easily handle your tolino right from the start.
Whenever you need or want to enter text—e.g. a WLAN password—an on-screen
keyboard appears at the bottom of the page. This keyboard disappears again as soon
as you have completed or confirmed the operation, for example with OK or a differ-
ently labeled button (Apply, Save, or similar). You can display the keyboard again by
tapping in a text field. If you want to pause typing and hide the keyboard, you can tap
on the small keyboard icon in the bottom left corner.
Swiping across a display has become second nature to all of us by now. And, of
course, you can also do that with your tolino. When you swipe from the bottom to the
top of the screen, the start screen displays regardless of the current situation. From
there, you can access your books, the menu, and other settings.
In addition to swiping and tapping, your e-book reader also supports the so-called
long press. This is a special type of tapping where the finger remains on the screen
for a short while when tapping on a button or word. A long press usually calls up
menus that contain further commands (which you then tap “normally”).
Every now and then your tolino shows you some tips and hints. You can simply close
those windows again by tapping OK or the cross. If you no longer wish to receive the
respective tip, just set a checkmark next to the Do not show this message again box
by tapping on it.
After a certain period of inactivity, your tolino changes into sleep mode. You wake it
up again by briefly pressing the power button at the bottom edge.
1.3 Charging your tolino
A message appears when the battery of your tolino is empty. At this point you must
charge your tolino at the very latest. If you do not have a computer with a USB con-
nection available, you can also use a USB power supply unit (i.e. a power supply unit
with a USB socket into which you can plug the USB cable) for charging.
