Getting started
Microsoft account
Before you switch on for the rst time, ensure that:
1. Your tablet is fully charged
2. You have a good WiFi connection (ideally your usual WiFi zone)
3. You have your WiFi name and password to hand.
Charging
Connect the supplied power cable to the Micro-USB port of the device and to a wall
outlet. The charging light will be red until it’s fully charged. You can use the device
whilst on charge.
Turning the device on
Press the ON/OFF button for 2-3 seconds.
A Microsoft account is an email address and password that you use to sign in to
Windows. It’s free and easy to set up, and you can do so with any email address you
choose, or get a new email address (for example, you can use an Outlook.com, Gmail,
or Yahoo! address for your Microsoft account.). WIth a Microsoft account, you can:
- get apps from the Windows Store
- back up all your important data and les using free cloud storage
- link your social networking accounts to the People app, and you’ll see your friends’
contact info and status updates in one place
Signing in with a Microsoft account
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings > Change PC settings >
Accounts > Your account > Connect to a Microsoft account. You might be asked to
verify your current password.
Initial setup
The rst time you start up your device, the Windows Startup Screen will be the rst
screen displayed. Follow the on-screen instructions on each screen in order to properly
install the operating system. We strongly recommend that you create a Microsoft
account, so you can enjoy more features.

TIP: setting up other accounts
If more than one person uses your tablet, each person should have their own account. They can sign in and
personalize the tablet with their own background colors, favorite apps, a separate email inbox, and more. If
you have kids, you can also set up a child’s account with extra security monitoring measures—with or without
email—so that your kids see only what you want them to see on the PC.

Troubleshooting
If your device is frozen:
Press the ON/OFF button for at least 10 seconds to reset.
If your device doesn’t turn on:
Charge your device then switch on normally.
If this does not work, press the ON/OFF button for at least 10 seconds to reset.
If you want to extend the life of your battery:
Decrease the screen brightness and turn o the wireless connections if not in use.
If your device is functioning too slowly:
Close all apps which are not currently being used.
If your WiFi reception is poor:
Make sure you are not far from the WiFi hotspot.
Reset and redene your connection parameters.
Contact your WiFi connection provider.
We suggest you to upgrade your router to a faster bit rate or to a dual band type if not
already. The most common problem with WiFI performance on tablets and computers is
poor signal strength and insucient band width for multiple users from the router.
Check and install Windows updates in Control Panel > System and Security >
Windows Update.
If you want to restore your product (erase all your settings? forgotten password?) :
1. Tap on Settings Windows charm.
Tap on Change PC settings > Update and recovery > Recovery
From there you can Refresh your PC without aecting your les, or Remove
everything and resintall Windows.
This will erase all your settings and applications.
Recommended Accessories
Female USB to (male) micro USB connector – Very useful for connecting all your
standard USB devices like card readers etc. and can be used with the supplied (male)
USB to micro USB cable to connect your phone or other micro USB devices.
Mouse – You may nd the detail level that Windows 8 oers hard to access without
a mouse in some areas. Parts of the O/S such as Control Panel and programs such as
spread sheets become far more productive with a mouse. You can adapt a normal
mouse by buying a Female USB to micro USB connector or you can use a Bluetooth
mouse.
