In many apps, tap Share or Share icon and choose a sharing method from
the list for sharing. The options vary depending on the app you’re using.

Security

Set Screen Lock

You can set an automatic screen lock to prevent unauthorized access.

NOTE

If your Sero 8’s playing music when the screen locks, you can continue
listening or pause the selection without unlocking.

To adjust your lock settings:

1. Go to Settings > PERSONAL > Security > Screen security > Screen lock.

2. Tap the type of lock you want and follow the on-screen instructions. If you

have previously set a lock, you must enter the pattern, PIN, or password to
unlock the lock settings. You can choose lock options, in order of strength:

Slide - The slide provides no protection, but lets you get to the Home

screen or Google Now quickly.

Face Unlock - Lets you unlock your device by looking at it. This is the least

secure lock option.

Tip: After you set up Face Unlock, look under Settings > PERSONAL >

Security > Screen security for two additional settings: Improve face

matching and Liveness check. Use these to make Face Unlock more
reliable and secure.

Pattern - Lets you draw a simple pattern with your finger to unlock your

Sero 8. This is slightly more secure than Face Unlock.

PIN - Requires four or more numbers. Longer PINs tend to be more

secure.

Password - Requires four or more letters or numbers. This is the most

secure option, as long as you create a strong password.

Tips: For best security, specify a password that

• Is least 8 characters long.

• Contains a mixture of numbers, letters, and special symbols.

• Doesn’t contain any recognizable words or phrases.

Encrypt Your Data

You can encrypt all the data on your Sero 8: Google Accounts, app data, music
and other media, downloaded information, and so on. If you do, you must
enter a numeric PIN or password each time you turn on your device. If you
already set up a screen lock, you must use the same PIN or password. You can’t
have two PINs or passwords.

26Basic

NOTE

Encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert to an unencrypted
device is to perform a factory data reset, which erases all your data.

Encryption provides additional protection in case your device is stolen and
may be required or recommended in some organizations. Consult your system
administrator before turning it on. In many cases, the PIN or password you set
for encryption is controlled by the system administrator.

Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:

1. Set a lock screen PIN or password.

2. Charge the battery.

3. Plug in your Sero 8.

4. Schedule an hour or more for the encryption process: you must not

interrupt it or you will lose some or all of your data.

When you’re ready to turn on encryption:

1. Go to Settings > PERSONAL > Security > Encryption > Encrypt tablet.

2. Read the information about encryption carefully.

The Encrypt tablet button is dimmed if your battery is not charged or
your Sero 8 is not plugged in. If you change your mind about encrypting
your Sero 8, tap the Back button .

NOTE

If you interrupt the encryption process, you will lose data.

3. Tap Encrypt tablet.

4. Enter your lock screen PIN or password and tap Continue.

5. Tap Encrypt tablet again.

The encryption process starts and displays its progress. Encryption can take
an hour or more, during which time your Sero 8 may restart several times.
When encryption is complete, you’re prompted to enter your PIN or password.
Subsequently, you must enter your PIN or password each time you power on
your Sero 8, to decrypt it.

Settings

Settings lets you configure the Sero 8, set app options, add accounts, and
change other preferences. See other chapters for information about settings
for the built-in apps. For example, for Wi-Fi settings, see Wi-Fi on page 15.

WIRELESS & NETWORKS

27Basic

different cycle. This date range is the period of time for which the graph
displays data usage.

The vertical white lines on the graph show a period of time within the data
usage cycle. This range determines the usage amount displayed just below
the graph. Drag lines to change the period.

tablet > System updates.

Location

Sero 8 can use different modes to access location information. These modes
replace the GPS satellites and Wi-Fi & mobile network options in previous
versions.

Each mode uses different sources to estimate Sero 8’s location. Apps that have
your permission can use this information to deliver location-based services,
such as the ability to check in, view commute traffic, or find nearby restaurants.

The location icon will display in the top right corner of Sero 8 when precise
location is being used by any app. It means that a mode using more power to
determine your location is turned on.

Location for Sero 8

NOTE

If you set up multiple users, these users may have different location
settings. Be sure to review location settings individually for each user.

To control what location information Sero 8 can use, go to Settings >

PERSONAL > Location.

When the Location switch at the top of the screen is On, you can select one of
the following modes:

High accuracy - High accuracy mode uses Wi-Fi and other sensors to get

the highest-accuracy location for Sero 8.

Battery saving - Battery saving mode allows Sero 8 to estimate your location

using low battery-intensive location sources, such as Wi-Fi.

When the switch is Off, Sero 8 location isn’t shared with any apps.

NOTE

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.

32Basic

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 stuff 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, Messenger,
and many more.

Add an Account

You can use multiple Google Accounts and Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
accounts on your Sero 8. 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 configuration of the service you’re
connecting to.

When you’re finished, 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 8, 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.

33Basic

Syncing

Configure Sync Options

You can configure 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 8 are made to the copy of that information on the
web. Your Google Account works this way. Other accounts support only one­way sync: the information on your mobile device is read-only.

Configure Auto-sync for All Apps

To control Auto-sync for all apps that use it, go to Settings > WIRELESS &

NETWORKS > Data usage > Menu icon , and check or uncheck Auto-sync

data.

If you turn off Auto-sync, you need to sync manually to collect messages,
email, and other recent information, and won’t receive notifications when
updates occur. For example, changes that you make in your People app are
automatically made to your Google contacts on the web.

Never force a connector into a port of Sero 8. If a connector and a port do

not join with reasonable force, make sure that the connector matches the
port and that you have positioned the connector correctly in relation to the
port.

To clean the screen, simply use a soft damp cloth. Do not use alcohol,

solvent, aerosol spray or abrasive cleaners to clean your Sero 8.

The product and the adapter should be periodically examined for

conditions that may result in the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons and that, in an event such conditions, the adapter should not be
used until properly repaired.

Operate Sero 8 in a place where the temperature is between 0º and 35ºC

(32º to 95ºF). Low or high temperature conditions might temporarily
shorten battery life or cause Sero 8 to temporarily stop working properly.
Avoid dramatic changes in temperature or humidity when using Sero 8, as
condensation may form on or within Sero 8.

Store Sero 8 in a place where the temperature is between -20º and 45ºC (-4º

to 113ºF). Don’t leave Sero 8 in your car because temperatures in parked
cars can exceed this range.

43Appendix B

When you’re using Sero 8 or charging the battery, it is normal for Sero 8 to

get warm. The exterior of Sero 8 functions as a cooling surface that transfers
heat from inside the unit to the cooler air outside.

The rechargeable battery in Sero 8 should be replaced only by Hisense

Service.

Do not expose a battery pack or installed batteries to excessive heat such as

sunshine, fire or the like.

If you will not use Sero 8 frequently, then we recommend that you fully

charge and discharge the battery every three months in order to maximize
the battery lifespan.

If you will not use Sero 8 frequently, then we recommend that you keep

the battery level at around 50 percent in order to maximize the battery life
span.

If Sero 8 has not been used for a long period of time, then the battery might

be in an over-discharge protection mode and take longer to charge.

This device is restricted to indoor use when operating in the 2.4 to 2.483

GHz frequency band.

The Wi-Fi function and the Bluetooth function can simultaneously operate,

but can not simultaneously transmit.

Never remove or insert microSD card while the Sero 8 is powered on.

The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused

by unauthorized modifications to this equipment. Such modifications could
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Sero 8 North America edition is limited using channel 1-11. This limited

operation can be only set by software and was done before the product
down from the product line. All the products for North America marketing
were embedded this limited before shipping. Customers have no way to
choose the channel 12 & 13.

Certification and Compliance

Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy

Sero 8 contains radio transmitters and receivers. When on, Sero 8 sends and
receives radio frequency (RF) energy through its antenna. The Wireless antenna
is located on the back of the device, see Understanding Your Sero 8 Tablet on

page 5 for more details. Sero 8 has been tested and meets the SAR (Specific

Absorption Rate) exposure requirements for WLAN operation.

Sero 8 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 specific absorption rate, or SAR. The SAR limit applicable to Sero 8
set by the FCC is 1.6 watts per kilogram (W/kg). Tests for SAR are conducted

44Appendix B

using standard operating positions specified by these agencies, with Sero 8
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
Although SAR is determined at the highest certified power level in each
frequency band, the actual SAR level of Sero 8 while in operation can be well
below the maximum value because Sero 8 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 8 has been tested, and meets the FCC and European Union RF exposure
guidelines for WLAN operation. When tested at direct body contact, Sero 8’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: E2281

2412-2462 1.6 1.152

EN SAR

Band EN 10g SAR Limit (W/kg) Highest Value (W/kg)

Model: E2281

Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz 2.0 0.641
