Transfering files 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 file from e-mail to your tablet
memory.

Adding a micro-SD card

You can increase the memory of your tablet quite cheaply by buying a micro SD card. For
the position of your micro SD slot see page 24. When you insert the card into your tablet

1. Use as portable storage – for moving photos and other media between devices.

2. Use micro-SD as internal memory – for storing anything on this device only, including

them in Settings – storage – SD card –

Warning: Formatting an SD card will wipe any and all data inside SD card, please transfer
all onto a computer before formatting a SD Card.

If you pick option 1 you can take the card out anytime you like and use it in other
compatible devices, e.g. a PC or phone to transfer files e.g. mp3 files, photos etc. Note
that in this method you can only store media files, you cannot store Android apps on the
card. The operating system will not allow it.
If you chose option 2 (to format as internal memory) you increase capacity for apps as well
as files.
However, the memory is truly integrated with the tablet, so if you remove it, you will lose
files and apps. So if you pick option 2, its best to pick a large capacity card so you don’t
ever need to upgrade. It’s also very important to use a fast card or the performance of

integrated storage. The next best choice is to opt for a card with fast read write speeds
like Ultra High Speed (UHS) cards. The maximum recommended capacity for this tablet is
64GB.
Note its best to format the card in your tablet before you load anything onto it.

Your Android tablet knows what format to use. If you prefer to do this in your PC,
the format required is FAT32. Your tablet will not work with cards formatted in NTFS or
other formats and may not even recognize them.

Improving security on your tablet

Online

In order to avoid online threats we recommend that you install antivirus and security
software on your device and keep these and your browser and other software up to date
to take advantage of security fixes.

Physical theft

If you store valuable information on your tablet including passwords and logins for
personal accounts etc. you may want to enhance the security of your tablet in case it is
stolen or lost.

Setting a PIN or password

You can set a pin code (4-8 digit numerical code) or you can set a password which is 4
to 17 digits. We recommend you set a password, the longer and more complex it is the
harder it is to break. For the best passwords use a mixture of upper and lower case letters,
numbers and special characters such as %, # and *. In ‘Settings’, select ‘Security’, then
‘screen lock’, then select PIN or Password.

Charging issues

The most common casue of charging issues on tablets is damage to the USB lead
and and USB socket. This is commonly caused by the user charging the tablet while
using it and then forgetting it’s plugged in and pulling the tabelt against the lead.
To avoid such damage charge the tablet overnight rather than when in use.

If you do find your tablet won’t charge try changing the USB lead. This will often fix the
issue.

Environmental Considerations

Protection of the environment is an important concern to Bush. In order to put
this concern into tangible actions, Bush has consciously included a set of
methods that favour a respect for the environment into the entire cycle of its
products; from fabrication to consumer usage, to final disposal.
Batteries : If your product contains a detachable battery pack, you should only
dispose of it in a designated collection point for used batteries.

The Product : The crossed-out wheelie bin symbol on your product signifies that it
falls into the category of electric/electronic equipment. Products of this type contain
substances that are potentially dangerous to the environment and to human health.
Therefore, you should not dispose of the Bush electronic device in a regular trash. As such,
the current European directives ask that this device be collected:
At places of distribution in the case of a purchase of a similar electronic product.
At locally created disposal areas (waste disposal centres, sorted trash system, etc.)
By doing this, you are actively participating in the reuse and recycling of disposed

and human health.
