Using your tablet

Using the SIM card slot (only for Wi-Fi+3G models)

Certain tablets include a SIM slot for internet access. To take full advantage of your tablet’s Internet capabilities, you should install a SIM card with data subscription before turning on your tablet.

See “Installing a SIM card (only for Wi-Fi+3G models)” on page 47.

Charging your tablet

For first-time use, you need to charge your tablet for four hours. After that you can recharge the battery as needed.

Connect the DC-in jack to your tablet and plug the AC adapter into any AC outlet.

Note: It is normal for the tablet surface to become warm during charging or long periods of use.

Using the SIM card slot (only for Wi-Fi+3G models)

Turning on for the first time

To turn on your tablet, press and hold the power button for two seconds. You will then be asked some questions before you can use your tablet.

To start, tap to select your language, then tap Start. Follow the rest of the instructions as they are displayed.

If you have Internet access, your tablet allows you to synchronize information with a Google account.

During the start-up process, you may create or sign in to an account, which will be used to synchronize your contact list, email, calendar and other information. If you do not yet have Internet access, or do not want to use this feature, then tap Skip.

Important: You must sign in to a Google Account to use Gmail, Google Talk, Google Calendar, and other Google Apps; to download applications from Android Market; to back up your settings to Google servers; and to take advantage of other Google services on your tablet.

If you want to restore existing settings from another device with Android 2.0 (or later) installed, you must sign in to your Google account during setup. If you wait until after setup is complete, your settings will not be restored.

Note: If you have multiple Google accounts, such as separate accounts for personal and business contacts, you can access and synchonize them from the Accounts settings section. See “Multiple Google accounts” on page 54.

Locking your tablet

If you will not use your tablet for a while, briefly press the power button to lock access. This saves power and ensures your tablet does not unintentionally use any services. Your tablet will lock automatically if it is not used after a while. To change the delay, tap Apps > Settings > Screen > Timeout.

Waking your tablet

If the screen is off and the tablet does not react to any taps on the screen, then it has been locked and is in sleep mode.

To wake your tablet, press the power button. Your tablet will display the Lock screen. Drag the lock symbol to the edge of the circle to unlock the tablet.

For additional security, you may set a code or number that must be entered to access the tablet, such as an unlock pattern (a set of dots that must be tapped in the correct order). Open the Home screen and tap Apps > Settings > Location & security > Configure lock screen.

Note: If you forget an unlock pattern or PIN, please refer to “Unlock pattern“ on page 58.

Using the touchscreen

Your tablet uses a touchscreen for selecting items and entering information. Use your finger to tap the screen.

Tap: Touch the screen once to open items and select options.

Drag: Hold your finger on the screen and drag across the screen to select text and images.

Locking your tablet

Tap and hold: Tap and hold an item to see a list of actions available for that item. On the pop-up menu that appears, tap the action you want to perform.

Scroll: To scroll up or down the screen, simply drag your finger up or down the screen in the direction that you want to scroll.

The Home screen

When you start your tablet, or wake it from power saving, it will display the Home screen. This screen gives you quick access to information and simple controls with widgets or shortcuts. These display information such as the time and favorite bookmarks, or provide additional controls and direct access to applications. Some have been pre-installed on your tablet, while others may be downloaded from the Android Market.
