Setting up your tablet

Charging the battery

Your tablet has a built-in battery. The battery can only be replaced by the original manufacturer.

Before using your tablet for the first time, you need to charge the battery for a minimum of eight hours.

Warnings:

•Do not crush, puncture, short external contacts, or dispose of battery in fire or water.

•Do not expose to temperatures above 60°C (140°F).

To charge the battery:

1Insert the USB connector on the Micro USB cable into your tablet’s micro USB port.

2Insert the other end of the USB cable into the USB power adapter.

3Plug the USB power adapter into a power outlet to start charging the battery.

Caution: Use only the included power adapter or a qualified 5V/2A power adapter to charge your tablet's battery. An unqualified adapter or an adapter that is not a 5V/2A adapter may damage your tablet.

Caution: If you plan to store your tablet for an extended period, you need to charge the battery at least once a month. If the battery charge drains completely, the battery may be damaged.

To conserve battery power:

Battery performance depends on many factors, including the network configuration, signal strength, temperature, features or settings, items attached to ports, and usage of programs or functions.

•Turn off Wi-Fi when you are not using it.

•Adjust the screen brightness to the lowest level you are comfortable with. See “Manually adjusting the screen brightness.”

•Adjust the sleep timer. See “Adjusting the power saving setting.”

Notes:

•You can also connect your tablet to a computer to charge the battery, but charging will take longer than charging with the power adapter.

•When fully charged, your tablet's battery provides 8 hours of continuous video playback (Wi-Fi turned off) or 10 hours of continuous Web browsing.

Installing the microSD memory card

Your tablet’s internal memory capacity is 16 GB. You can install a microSD™ memory card with up to 32 GB to save more pictures, music, and applications.

We recommend that you store pictures, videos, and music files on a memory card instead of your tablet’s internal memory. This leaves more space on internal memory for downloading apps

To install the microSD memory card:

1Make sure that your tablet is turned off.

2Locate the microSD memory card slot.

3Insert the microSD memory card into the slot with the narrow side of the card pointing toward the slot and the label facing up.

For instructions on removing the microSD memory card, see “Removing a microSD memory card.”

Customizing the Home screen

The Home screen is your starting point for using the applications on your tablet. You can customize the Home screen to display application icons, shortcuts, folders, and widgets.

A widget is a small, stand-alone application that you can place on the Home screen to let you access a favorite feature. Your tablet comes with several widgets already installed, either on the main Home screen or one of the extended Home screens.

Like a widget, an app shortcut lets you quickly access a favorite feature like the Gallery. An app shortcut can also quickly open a favorite application. You can add an app shortcut to any Home screen.

The Home screen extends beyond the screen width to provide more space for adding icons, widgets, and more.

To use the extended Home screen:

•Slide your finger horizontally across the screen (to the left or the right) to access the extended screens to the left or right of the Home screen.

•Press the (home) icon to go back to the main screen.

Your tablet provides two extended screens to the left and right of the Home screen, for a total of five screens.
