Startup Wizard

The rst time you start up your device, the startup wizard will help you set up your
device:

- Location service options

- Third-party applications

We strongly recommend that you open a Google account (you need this to download
new apps) and we recommend that you answer yes to backing up your tablet to the

tablet to factory defaults at any point.

for WiFi networks in range.

to. Private networks are shown with a lock icon

and will require you to enter your password.

When entering a WiFi password, we
recommend that you select ‘Show
password’ so you can see the characters
you are typing.

TIPS:

- To get the correct WiFi password (or settings) for the network, contact the WiFi network provider.

- If your WiFi is on and you are in range of a network that you previously connected to, your device will
automatically attempt to connect to it.

Downloading new apps:

To download new apps for your tablet touch the Google Play Store icon.

There you will nd over 1 million apps including many which are free. Even if you only

use free apps you will still need to create a Google account but you don’t need to enter

your credit card details to do this.

Transfering les to your tablet:

From a computer, use the USB lead provided in the package box.

From a USB device with a standard male USB connection, you will need to purchase

a female USB to micro USB lead in order to connect it (e.g. USB card reader, USB

connection from a camera etc.).

Via e-mail, simply add attachments to e-mail messages and send to your Google e-mail

address. Then open Gmail, open the message and save the le from e-mail to your

tablet memory.
