This document serves as a comprehensive user manual for the Fusion5 Windows tablet, Model: FWIN232 Plus, a portable device designed to offer a versatile computing experience. It functions as both a tablet and a laptop, adapting to various user needs for study and entertainment. The manual outlines the device's main functions, operational methods, and important safety and maintenance information.
The tablet's primary function is to provide a portable computing solution, leveraging micro-mobility and direct interaction through touch input, along with wireless connectivity via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. This dual functionality allows it to be used as a tablet for casual tasks and as a laptop when more intensive work is required, particularly with the optional docking keyboard.
Usage Features:
The device comes with several usage features that enhance its versatility and user experience:
- Docking Keyboard (Optional): The manual provides clear instructions on how to set up and use the docking keyboard, transforming the tablet into a laptop. This involves opening the keyboard cover, aligning the tablet with the docking pin connector until a "snap" or "click" is heard, and then folding the cover to create a stand for the tablet. It emphasizes using the tablet and keyboard on a flat, horizontal surface to prevent damage.
- Power Management: The manual details how to turn the tablet on and off. To turn it on, users simply press and hold the Power button. To turn it off, there are two methods: pressing and holding the power button to shut down, or navigating through the Windows interface (Start > Power > Shut Down).
- Storage Card Installation and Removal: The tablet supports TF/Micro SD™ cards ranging from 128MB to 128GB. The manual guides users on how to install the card gently into its slot and how to remove it. For removal, it's crucial to first unmount the SD Card via the device settings (Menu > Settings > Storage > Unmount SD Card), then turn off the tablet, and finally push the card to eject it. A note advises removing the USB cable before turning off the tablet if the Micro USB port is connected to other devices.
- Bluetooth Connectivity: The device supports Bluetooth for connecting to other devices. The process involves turning on the Bluetooth device and making it discoverable, ensuring Bluetooth is enabled on the tablet, waiting for Windows to search for devices, and following on-screen instructions for pairing. If a pairing code is required, users are advised to check the device's information or the manufacturer's website.
- Account Setup and Management: The manual explains how to set up and manage user accounts, including Microsoft accounts and local user accounts. It describes how to switch from a local account to a Microsoft account, create new user accounts (Administrator, Standard User, or Child), and utilize Family Safety features. Family Safety allows parents to track and set limits on how children use the device, including websites, apps, and games.
- Password and Sign-in Options: Users can unlock and sign in to the device by pressing a key or the Power button, then swiping up from the lock screen. The manual also covers creating or changing passwords, picture passwords, and PINs, accessible via Settings > Account > Sign-In Options. Users can also choose when a password is required for sign-in.
- Wi-Fi Connectivity: The tablet has built-in Wi-Fi for wireless network connections. The manual provides guidance on finding wireless network passwords, both on the router hardware (looking for terms like Security Key, Wireless Key, WPA Key, WPA2 Key, WEP Key) and on a Windows PC already connected to the network. The steps for finding the password on a Windows 10 PC are detailed, involving navigating through Settings to Network Connections and viewing wireless properties.
- Apps and Programs: The device supports both Windows Store apps (e.g., Music, Mail, Weather) and Desktop apps (e.g., Notepad, Office). Users can find and open apps from the Start screen by swiping up to view all apps or using the Search charm. If an app isn't found, users are directed to the Windows Store. Desktop apps can also be launched from the desktop, and shortcuts can be pinned to the taskbar.
- Gestures: The manual provides a comprehensive glossary of touch gestures for interacting with the tablet:
- Tap: Opens, selects, or activates items, similar to a mouse click.
- Tap and hold: Shows information or opens a context-specific menu, similar to right-clicking.

- Swiping in from the left edge opens a recently used app and allows switching between open apps by continuous swiping.
- Sliding in from the left edge without lifting the finger and dragging the app until a divider appears allows opening another app at the same time and adjusting app size.

Maintenance Features:
The manual also includes important information regarding troubleshooting and cleaning to ensure the longevity and proper functioning of the device:
- Troubleshooting:
- Device unable to start up: Suggestions include checking if the device is plugged into an AC outlet and if the outlet provides adequate power. If using an external power source other than an AC outlet, users are advised to plug the device into an AC outlet using the AC adapter and ensure power cord and adapter connections are secure.
- Device unresponsive: If the device is on but not responding to software or keyboard commands, emergency shutdown procedures are suggested, starting with holding the power button for at least 5 seconds.
