Cautions

 The LINSAY F7HD4CORE respects the current regulations for limiting the output volume of consumer audio devices to a safe level. By listening to

your device with headphones or ear buds at high volumes, you run the risk of permanent damage to your ears. Even if you get used to listening at

high volumes and it seems normal to you, you still risk the possibility of damaging your hearing. Reduce the volume of your device to a reasonable

level to avoid permanent hearing damage. If you hear ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or shut off your device. This device has been tested

with the supplied earphones. In order to preserve your hearing, it is advised that you use only the following headphone models: the earphones

supplied with your device, or any other headphones that respect the current regulations. Other types of headphones may produce higher volume

levels. At full power ,the prolonged listening of the walk man can damage the ear of the user

 Maximum output voltage<=150mv

 Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.

 You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations created by obstructed hearing.

 Even if your headphones or earphones are the open-air type designed to let you hear outside sounds, don’t turn up the volume so high that you can’t

hear what’s around you.

 Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. What sounds “normal” can actually be loud and

harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting the volume of your device at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

 To establish a safe volume level:

 a. Start your volume control at a low setting.

 b. Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion. Once you have established a comfortable sound

level, leave it there.

Optimize battery life

You can extend your battery's life between charges by turning off features that you don't need. You can also monitor how apps and system resources consume battery power.

Extend the life of your battery

z If you aren't using Wi-Fi, or GPS, use the Settings app to turn them off. The GPS setting is located in Settings >

Personal > Location services.

z Don't leave the Maps or Navigation apps open on the screen when you're not using them. They use GPS (and

thus more power) only when they're running.

z Turn down screen brightness and set a shorter Sleep timeout: Settings > Device > Display. z If you don't need it, turn off automatic syncing for all apps: Settings > Personal > Accounts & sync. Note that

this means you need to sync manually to collect messages, email, and other recent information, and won't receive notifications when updates occur.

z If you know you won't be near a mobile or Wi-Fi network for a while, switch to Airplane mode: Press and hold the power switch until the Tablet options dialog appears. Then touch Airplane Mode.

Check battery level and usage details

z Open Settings > Device > Battery. The list at the bottom of the screen shows the breakdown of battery usage for individual apps and services. Touch a

graph for more details. The details screen for some apps includes buttons that allow you to adjust settings affecting power usage, or stop the app completely.

www.LINSAYdigital.com

Warning!

If you stop some apps or services, your device may not work correctly.

Battery status (charging, discharging) and level (as a percentage of fully charged) are displayed at the top of the screen.

The discharge graph shows battery level over time since you last charged the device, and how long you've been running on battery power.

Optimize data usage

To adjust the settings described here:

1. Touch the Settings icon on a Home or All Apps screen.

2. Touch Wireless & networks > Data usage.

www.LINSAYdigital.com

By default, you see the settings for mobile data: that is, the data network or networks provided by your carrier:

It's possible to show Wi-Fi data usage settings in a separate tab. To do so, touch the Menu icon

usage.

Near the top of the screen, note the on-off switch for mobile data. The instructions that follow assume that this switch is turned on. If it's off, you won't be able to use mobile data at all and many features of your Tablet and apps won't work correctly.

Just below the on-off switch, note the data usage cycle. Touch it to choose a different cycle. This date range is the period of time for which the graph displays data usage.

The vertical white lines on the graph show a period of time within the data usage cycle. This range determines the usage amount displayed just below the graph. Drag lines to change the period.

, then Show Wi-Fi

Set data usage warning

z Drag the orange line by its right side to the level where you want to receive a warning. When your data usage reaches this level, you'll receive a notification.

www.LINSAYdigital.com

Set data usage limit

Check

A dialog appears that describes the limit you're setting.

. Read the message. If you're willing to proceed, click OK.

The red line at the top of the graph activates, so you can drag it up or down.

Drag the red line by its right side to the limit you want to set.

When your data usage reaches the limit, mobile data will be turned off automatically and many features of your Tablet won't work correctly. You'll receive a notification when this occurs.

Set mobile data limit

Important

The usage displayed on the data usage settings screen is measured by your LINSAY. Your carrier's data usage accounting may differ. Usage in excess of your carrier plan's data limits can result in steep overage charges. The feature described here can help you track your usage, but is not guaranteed to prevent additional charges. For best results, set a conservative limit.

View or restrict data usage by app

Some apps transfer data in the background; that is, when you're not actually using the app, it may download data for future reference. Restricting background data usage for individual apps can sometimes be a useful way to reduce your overall data usage. However, this is a drastic measure that may also affect the app's performance or cause it to malfunction. Check whether data usage can be restricted from the app's own settings (available from within the app) before restricting it here.

1. Make sure you're viewing the network for which you want to view or restrict app data usage.

2. Scroll down to find the app whose data usage you want to view.

3. To see more details for an app, touch its name.

4. To stop background data usage for this app, check Restrict background data.

5. Read the message that appears. If you're willing to proceed, click OK.

www.LINSAYdigital.com

Advanced data usage settings

Two other settings available from the Menu icon can have dramatic effects, but may sometimes be useful:

Data roaming can result in steep additional charges. However, in some locations this may be the only way to

connect to the Internet. Restrict background data affects all your apps across all available networks, and may cause some features to

stop working. This is an extreme step that should be used with caution.

Optimize memory usage

You typically don't need to worry about managing apps beyond installing, opening, and using them. But there may be times when you want to know more about what's happening behind the scenes.

Apps use two kinds of memory: internal storage and RAM. They use internal storage for themselves and any files, settings, and other data they use. They also use RAM (memory designed for temporary storage and fast access) when they're running.

Android manages and carefully guards the portion of internal storage where the system, apps, and most data for those apps are stored, because this area may contain your private information. It's not possible to view this portion of internal storage when you connect your device to a computer with a USB cable. The other portion of internal storage, where music, downloaded files, and so on are stored, remains visible for your convenience.

Android also manages how apps use RAM. It may cache some things you've been using recently, for quicker access if you need them again, but it will erase the cache if it needs the RAM for new activities. You affect the way apps use internal storage directly and indirectly in many ways; for example, by:

භ/ŶƐƚĂůůŝŶŐŽƌƵŶŝŶƐƚĂůůŝŶŐĂƉƉƐ

භŽǁŶůŽĂĚŝŶŐĨŝůĞƐŝŶƌŽǁƐĞƌ'ŵĂŝůĂŶĚŽƚŚĞƌĂƉƉƐ

භŽƉǇŝŶŐĨŝůĞƐďĞƚǁĞĞŶǇŽƵƌĚĞǀŝĐĞĂŶĚĂĐŽŵƉƵter via USB.

You rarely need to manage the way apps use RAM. But you can monitor apps' RAM usage and stop them if they misbehave.

Use the Apps screen

www.LINSAYdigital.com

The Apps screen allows you to adjust several aspects of the way your device uses memory. To view these settings:

1 From a Home or All Apps screen, touch the Settings icon

2 Under Device touch

You'll see three tabs at the top of the screen, each displaying a list of apps or their components:

භ Downloaded.

භRunning.

To view details about an app or other item listed under any tab, touch its name. The information and controls available vary among different types of apps, but commonly include:

භForce stop button: Stops an app that is misbehaving. Stopping an app, process, or service may cause your device to stop working correctly. You may need to restart your device after doing this.

භ Uninstall button: Deletes the app and all of its data and settings.

භDisable button: Prevents the app from running, but does not uninstall it. This option is available for some apps

and services that can't be uninstalled.

භClear data button: Delete an app's settings and other data without removing the app itself.

භClear cache: If the app stores data in a temporary area of the tablet's memory, lists how much information is

stored, and includes a button for clearing it.

භLaunch by default: If you have configured an app to launch certain file types by default, you can clear that setting here.

භPermissions: Lists the kinds of information about your tablet and data the app has access to.
