Turn Voice Search or Voice Action On
You can initiate a Voice Search or Voice Action in several ways:
Tap the Microphone icon in the Google Chrome omnibox.
Tap the Microphone icon on the Home screen or Google Now screen and speak.
Tap the search bar on the Home screen and say “Google”.
21
Basics
When you’re viewing the Google Now screen, you don’t have to touch anything. Just say “Google.”
NOTE
To detect when you say “Google” to launch Voice Search or Voice Actions, Google analyzes sound picked up by your Sero 7’s microphone in intervals of a few seconds or less. The sound is
immediately discarded after analysis and is not stored on the device or sent to Google servers.
Using Voice Actions
Speak the Voice Action you want to use. Here are some typical examples:
“Set alarm for 8:30 a.m.”
“Send email to Marcus Foster. Subject: Coming tonight? Message: Hope to see you later.”
“Navigate to Mike’s bikes in Palo Alto.”
As you speak, Voice Search analyzes your speech and initiates the action.
If Voice Search doesn’t understand you, it lists a set of possible meanings. Just tap the one you want.
Some Voice Actions, such as “send email” and “note to self,” open a panel that prompts you to complete the action by speaking or typing more information.
Tap any text already entered in the panel to add or edit the text by typing.
To speak text instead of typing, rst tap the Microphone key
near the bottom left of the on-screen
keyboard.
Tap underlined words or phrases or drag across multiple words to view a list of alternate
transcriptions, or to edit by speaking or typing. When condent that the transcription is accurate, Voice Search displays transcribed words as regular text. Words or phrases for which it has provided alternate transcriptions are underlined.
Tap a button at the bottom of the window to add any optional elds (you can also speak the name
and content of any of these elds in your original voice action).
When you’re done, tap the button appropriate to complete the action, such as Send.

Google Account
Why Use a Google Account?
A Google Account lets you organize and access your personal information from any computer or mobile device:
Google Play - Google Play brings together all your favorite content in one place: movies, books,
music, magazines, apps, and more. When you sign in with your Google Account, you can reach any of this content from any of your devices – as long as you have a network connection. You can also shop for more in the Google Play Store.
Synchronize and back up everything - Whether you draft an email, add an event to your calendar,
or add a friend’s address, your work gets backed up continuously by Google and synchronized with any computer where you use the same Google Account.
Access from anywhere - Check your latest calendar, email, text messages, or social stream, no matter
what computer or mobile device you’re using.
Keep your stu secure and available - Google works round the clock to protect your personal data
from unauthorized access and to ensure that you get it when you need it, wherever you need it.
Simplify shopping - You can connect your Google account with Google Wallet, which makes it easy
to purchase music, books, apps, and more on Google Play and other online stores.
Other Google services - Your Google Account also lets you take full advantage of any other Google
apps and services that you may want to use, such as Gmail, Google Maps, Navigation, Google Play, YouTube, Google Talk, Messenger, and many more.
Add an Account
You can use multiple Google Accounts and Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync accounts on your Sero 7. You may also be able to add other kinds of accounts, depending on your apps. To add some accounts, you may need to obtain details from your system administrator about the service to which the account connects. For example, you may need to know the account’s domain or server address.
1. Go to Settings > Accounts > Add account.
2. Tap the kind of account to add.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
4. Most accounts require a username and password, but the details depend on the kind of account
and the conguration of the service you’re connecting to.
When you’re nished, the account is added in one of two places:
Google Accounts show up under Settings > Accounts > Google.
Other accounts show up under Settings > Accounts on the main Settings screen.
Remove an Account
You can remove any account and all information associated with it from your Sero 7, including email, contacts, settings, and so on.
To remove a Google account, go to Settings > Accounts > Google > [account-name] > Menu icon
> Remove account.
For any other type of account, go to Settings > Accounts > [account - type] > [account - name] and
look for the Remove option.

Basics
Syncing
Congure Sync Options
You can congure synchronization options for any of your apps. You can also decide what kinds of data to synchronize for each account.
For some accounts, syncing is two-way; changes that you make to the information on your Sero 7 are made to the copy of that information on the web. Your Google Account works this way. Other accounts support only one-way sync: the information on your mobile device is read-only.
Congure Auto-sync for All Apps
To control Auto-sync for all apps that use it, tap sync icon
at Power control to turn it on / o.
If you turn off Auto-sync, you need to sync manually to collect messages, email, and other recent information, and won’t receive notications when updates occur. For example, changes that you make in your People app are automatically made to your Google contacts on the web.
NOTE
Leaving Auto-sync off can help extend your battery life, but will prevent you from receiving notications when updates occur.
Congure Google Account Sync Settings
To adjust a single Google Account’s sync settings:
1. Go to Settings > Personal > Accounts > Google.
indicates that none of an account’s information is congured to sync automatically.
indicates that some or all of an account’s information is congured to sync automatically.
2. Tap the account whose sync settings you want to change.
3. The Sync Settings screen opens, displaying a list of the kinds of information the account can sync.
4. Tap items as needed.
Unchecking an option does not remove the information from your Sero 7; it simply stops it from being kept in sync with the version on the web.
Sync a Google Account Manually
1. Go to Settings > Accounts > Google.
2. Tap the account whose data you want to sync.
3. Tap Menu icon
> Sync now.
Tip: None of an account’s information is congured to sync automatically.

Certification and Compliance
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
Sero 7 contains radio transmitters and receivers. When on, Sero 7 sends and receives radio frequency (RF) energy through its antenna. The WLAN antenna is located at rear of the tablet, see Overview on
page 3 for more details. Sero 7 has been tested and meets the SAR exposure requirements for WLAN
operation.
Sero 7 is designed and manufactured to comply with the limits for exposure to RF energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United State. The exposure standard employs a unit of measurement known as the specic absorption rate, or SAR. The SAR limit applicable to Sero 7
56
Appendix B
set by the FCC is 1.6 watts per kilogram (W/kg). Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specied by these agencies, with Sero 7 transmitting at its highest certied power level in all tested frequency bands. Although SAR is determined at the highest certied power level in each frequency band, the actual SAR level of Sero 7 while in operation can be well below the maximum value because Sero adjusts its WLAN transmitting power based in part on orientation and proximity to the wireless network. In general, the closer you are to a WLAN Router, the lower the WLAN transmitting power level.
Sero 7 has been tested, and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for WLAN operation. When tested at direct body contact, Sero 7’s maximum SAR value for each frequency band is outlined below:
FCC SAR
Frequency Band (MHz) FCC 1g SAR Limit (W/kg) Highest Value ( W/kg)
Model: E270BSA
2412-2462 1.6 0.187
