The Castles S1F2 is an Android device on which you can navigate, like on a mobile phone, to access the different apps installed on it.

Home screen

Navigation is done using the three Android status bar buttons at the bottom of the phone. ( , , .)

Search and open applications: From the home screen, swipe up from the bottom of the screen.

Access the home screen: From the applications screen, tap the Home button.

Back: Allows you to open the screen you were previously on. You can use this option several times and thus go back several screens. Note however that the home screen acts as a limit. Tapping the Back button is used only for Castles applications and is not compatible with the PayXpert payment application ("PayXpress").

Search all open applications: Tapping the Overview button you can then either close the application (swipe the application image upwards) or open an application (press its image).
