There a number of mid tablets, with different model numbers.

Here are manual links for some mid tablets or Android Kitkat Operating System.

The 7" tablets they show have really old Android 1.6 and 2.2.

The 8" tablets have Android 2.2.

The 10" tablet has Android 2.2.

I know nothing about 2.2, aka Froyo. Let me do some looking for any guides.

Since I can't add to my previous post, let me add, when you unlock the tablet, tap on Settings then Device. What do you get?

Does the box look like this?

Great! You have KitKat (Android v 4.3, 4.4 varieties) which is a huge relief.

I'm going to send you a personal message at this forum. In it I will have 2 links for KitKat books.

I found it easiest to download the book to my computer. I turned on the tablet and as I read a few pages in the book from the computer screen, I tried to do things on my tablet.

I also have two note cards with steps on how to do some things that I don't do very often and would forget until the next time I needed to it.

The a33 processor is associated with a lot of AllWinner brand tablets but I know you don't have an AllWinner.

I'm having trouble locating anything on a MID model #411 but I'll keep looking.

You know me Corrine, I like to tackle problems.  8)  (For those that don't know me, I'm a retired math(s) teacher so I solved problems daily.)

Plodr,
I got to thank again you did a good job for me a lot of your time And I really appreciate it. The book is great. I'm getting the tablet set up pretty good now. The time out came set for a few seconds figured that out in the book. Set it for 10 min.Everything working out fine.It's sure a lot different than the computer but fun..Happy camper

johnson55, you are more than welcome.

When I got my tablet, I needed guidance because it was so different from anything I ever used. And I started with computers in the DOS days and use several different flavors of linux too. Probably if I owned a smart phone, I would have known a bit more. It's never too late to learn something new!

Have fun with it and if you have tablet/Kit Kat questions, ask.
