Improving security on your Bush MyTablet
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.

114045V3 BUSH 8 Android LTE QSG book 21052015.indd 18-19 22-May-15 16:14:58
Encrypting your memory
In order to prevent more technically capable persons gaining access to your
data, in the event that your tablet is lost or stolen you can encrypt your tablet’s
memory, so that even if the password is breached the data will be unreadable.
Please note encryption will have a modest eect on performance but for most
tasks this will not be noticeable. For memory intensive tasks such as playing
back video files stored in the tablet’s memory it may cause some buering.
In order to encrypt your tablet you must first set a PIN or password as shown
above.
Before you encrypt, you must charge your tablet to at least 80% battery
capacity, then with your tablet still on charge go to;
• ‘Settings’, select ‘Security’, then ‘Encrypt tablet’. The tablet will then ask you
for your password. Type this, then press ‘Encrypt tablet’. The encryption can
take up to 90 minutes. Do not interrupt the process. Failure to follow this
routine exactly may result in your tablet becoming unusable.

• Please note that your tablet cannot be decrypted by the same process. To
decrypt you must return the tablet to factory settings which will erase all of
your files and downloaded apps (securely).
• To reset to factory defaults go to ‘Settings’, select ‘Backup and Reset’ then
‘Factory data reset’.
Erasing your personal data
If you sell your tablet on, or discard it you should erase the data in memory,
before you do so, using a file eraser program that actively writes to every
record in the memory. This securely erases your data so that it cannot be
recovered. Please note that simply returning your tablet to factory settings
is not a reliable way of erasing your personal data (unless you have first
encrypted your data).
• To download a le eraser go to Google Play store, select a le eraser
program such as Remo File Eraser – download and install.
• Open the app and follow instructions to securely erase your data.

Further Advice
For further advice on how to stay safe there are government lead initiatives
such as Get Safe Online https://www.getsafeonline.org/ which give good
advice about a how to avoid a range of security threats. Don’t let security
issues spoil your enjoyment of your tablet.
Backing up your data (photos, app data, contacts...) with your Google account
1. Make sure that you are connected to a WiFi network.
2. Make sure the files you want to back-up are added to your Google Drive.
3. Go to ‘Settings’. Under Accounts/Google, touch your Google email
address and tick all the data you want to back up, including ‘Drive’. You
can access the data from anywhere you have access to your Google
account.

SAR
Due to the used enclosure material, the device shall only be connected to a
USB interface of version 2.0 or higher. The connection to so called power USB
is prohibited.
The adapter shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily
accessible.
CAUTION: RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT
TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.
The SAR limit of Europe is 2.0 W/kg. Device has also been tested against
this SAR limit. The highest SAR value reported under this standard during
product certification for use at the ear is 1.03 W/Kg and when properly
worn on the body is 0.767 W/Kg. This device was tested for typical bodyworn operations with the back of the handset kept 1.5 cm from the body. To
maintain compliance with RF exposure requirements, use accessories that
maintain a 1.5 cm separation distance between the user’s body and the back
of the handset. The use of belt clips, holsters and similar accessories should
not contain metallic components in its assembly. The use of accessories
that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with RF exposure
requirements, and should be avoided.
The SAR rate of the Bush 8” LTE tablet is 1.803 W/kg.
