near the top for a few seconds, then release it.
The rst time you turn on the tablet, you’ll see a Welcome screen.
• To choose a different language, touch the menu.
• To continue, touch Start and follow the instructions.
When prompted, sign in using the email address and password
for your Google Account. If you don’t have one yet, create one.

• YouTube
• Google Apps
• AdWords
• Any other Google product
NEXU S 7 GUIDEBOOK GET STAR TED 1
When you sign in with a Google Account, all the email, contacts,
Calendar events, and other data associated with that account are
automatically synced with your tablet.
If you have multiple Google Accounts, you can add the others
later.
Charge the battery
The printed Quick Start Guide that comes with Nexus 7 contains
basic operating instructions for your new tablet.
The battery may not be fully charged at rst. It’s a good idea to

Why use a Google Account?
A Google Account lets you organize and access your personal information from any computer or mobile device:
• Use Google Play. Google Play brings together all your favorite
content in one place: movies, TV shows, books, music, magazines, apps, and more. When you sign in with your Google Account, you can reach any of this content from any of your devices – as long as you have a network connection. You can
also shop for more in the Google Play store.
• Synchronize and back up everything. Whether you draf t an
email, add an event to your calendar, or add a friend’s address,
your work gets backed up continuously by Google and synchronized with any computer where you use the same Google
Account.
• Access from anywhere. Check your latest calendar, email, text
messages, or social stream, no matter what computer or mobile device you’re using.
• Keep your stuff secure and available. Google works round the
clock to protect your personal data from unauthorized access
and to ensure that you get it when you need it, wherever you
need it.
• Simplify shopping. You can connect your Google account with
Google Wallet, which makes it easy to purchase music, books,
apps, and more on Google Play and other online stores.
• Use other Google services. Your Google Account also lets you
take full advantage of other Google apps and ser vices that
you may want to use, such as Gmail, Google Maps, Navigation,
Google Play, YouTube, Google Talk, Messaging, and more.

Google Now is about getting you just the right information , at just
the right time.
It tells you today’s weather before you start your day, how much
trafc to expect before you leave for work, and even your favorite
team’s score while they ’re playing.
All of this happens automatically. Google Now intelligently brings
you the information you want to see, when you want to see it. No
digging required.
For example, here’s a Google Now card that appears when you’re
about to start your commute home:
NEXU S 7 GUIDEBOOK PL AY & EXPLORE 8
Give it a try! Swipe your nger up from the bottom of any screen,
or touch the Google Search bar at the top of the screen.
When you want to see more cards, touch Show more cards at the
bottom of the screen. When you don’t need them any more, swipe
them out of the way.
You’re in control
When you decide to use Google Now, you’re turning on location
repor ting and location history. Google Now also uses location
information provided by Google’s location service and GPS, if
those are currently turned on.
Google Now also uses data that you may have stored in other
Google products. For example, if you have searches stored in
your Web History, Google Now can show cards based on sports
scores, flight status, and so on.
Similarly, Google Now can use data that you may have stored
in third-party products that you allow Google to access. For
example, your tablet’s synced calendar may include entries from
non-Google calendar products. If you have such an entry for a
dentist appointment that includes the dentist’s address, Google
Now can check trafc and suggest when to leave.
NEXU S 7 GUIDEBOOK PL AY & EXPLORE 9
You’re in control. You can choose exactly which cards you’d like
to see, adjust the details of what they display, and adjust your
privacy settings.
For more information about Google Now and your location
information, see “Chapter 4, Make Search personal,” on page

To select or activate something, touch it.
To type something, such as a name, password, or search terms,
just touch where you want to type. A keyboard pops up that lets

Other common gestures include:
• Touch & hold. Touch & hold an item on the screen by touching
it and not lifting your nger until an action occurs.
• Drag. Touch & hold an item for a moment and then, without lift-
ing your nger, move your nger on the screen until you reach
the target position. For example, you can move apps around
on the Home screen.
• Swipe or slide. Quickly move your nger across the surface of
the screen, without pausing when you rst touch (so you don’t
drag something instead). For example, you can slide a Home
screen left or right to view the other Home screens.
• Double-tap. Tap quickly twice on a webpage, map, or other
screen to zoom. For example, double-tap a picture in Browser
to zoom in, and double-tap again to zoom out.
• Pinch. In some apps (such as Maps, Browser, and Gallery), you
can zoom in and out by placing two ngers on the screen at
once and pinching them together (to zoom out) or spreading
them apart (to zoom in).
• Rotate the screen. The orientation of most screens (excluding
Home screens) rotates with your device as you turn it. To lock

Try Face Unlock
Depending how you use your tablet, you may want to set some
form of automatic screen lock to prevent unauthorized access. If
a lock has been set, the screen locks when your tablet’s display
goes to sleep.
When you touch the power button to wake up a locked tablet, you
must take some action, ranging from a simple swipe to typing a
lengthy password, to unlock it.
You can set locks of different strengths using your tablet’s lock
settings. To do so, go to
Screen lock and touch the type of lock you’d like to use.
Face Unlock is one of the options available. After you’ve set it up,
you can unlock your tablet simply by looking at it. Although Face
Unlock is not very secure, it can be convenient and fun to use.
Give it a tr y. Go to the Screen lock setting described above, touch
Face Unlock, and follow the instructions.
TIP: After you set up Face Unlock, look under Settings >
