10The Basics

Optimizing Battery Life

You can extend your battery’s life between charges by turning off features that you don’t need to run constantly in the background. You can also monitor how applications and system resources consume battery power.

To extend the life of your battery

Turn off radio communications that you aren’t using, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or GPS.

Turn off automatic syncing for Gmail™, Calendar, Contacts, and other apps.

Some apps you’ve downloaded may consume high amounts of battery power. While using your downloaded apps, check the battery charge level and monitor the battery usage.

Lower the screen brightness setting and set a shorter screen timeout.

NOTE Allowing other devices to use your tablet's hotspot connection will also drain your battery more quickly.

To view the battery charge level

1.From the Home screen, tap Apps (in the Quick Access Bar) >

Settings > About tablet > Battery.

NOTE Settings are displayed in a split-screen format with the menus on the left and corresponding selections on the right.

Using a Screen Lock

Set a screen lock to secure your tablet from unauthorized (or unintentional) use. Tap the Home key (in the Touch Key Bar) > Apps (in the Quick Access Bar) > Settings > Display > Lock screen > Select screen lock, then select the screen lock you want to use. You are prompted to create a Backup PIN as a safety measure in case you forget your screen unlock sequence.

None: No lock screen is enabled so the screen will never be locked from use.

Swipe: A swipe motion in any direction on the touchscreen unlocks the screen. This is the default Lock screen.

Face Unlock: Face recognition unlocks the screen. The tablet captures your image to identify you. Keep in mind that Face Unlock is less secure than a pattern, PIN, or password because it uses generalized shape and dimension to verify your face.

Knock Code: Knock Code allows you to create your own unlock code using a combination of knocks (or taps) on the screen.

Pattern: A pattern you draw with your ﬁnger unlocks the screen. The ﬁrst time you set an unlock pattern, you’ll see a tutorial with instructions on how to create it. Read the tutorial, then tap Next. Draw your pattern (connect at least 4 dots), then tap Continue. Draw your pattern again, then tap Conﬁrm.

The Basics 23

PIN: A number sequence unlocks the screen. Enter a PIN (at least 4 digits), then tap Continue. Enter your PIN again, then tap OK to conﬁrm it.

Password: An alphanumeric sequence unlocks the screen. Enter a password (at least 4 characters), then tap Continue. Enter your password again, then tap OK to conﬁrm it.

From then on, any time you want to unlock the screen, you will need to perform the unlock action you set (swipe, face recognition, Knock Code, pattern, PIN, or password) to gain access to it.

When you can’t recall your unlock sequence

You have 10 attempts to successfully enter your unlock sequence.

After 5 attempts, you are prompted to manually enter text to verify that you are trying to unlock the screen (it's not just random movements touching the screen).

If you set Knock Code, you have the opportunity to unlock the screen by entering your Backup PIN to unlock the screen after 5 attempts.

After 10 attempts, the tablet will automatically perform a hard reset and erase all of the user data stored on the tablet.

NOTE A warning message is displayed after the 9th attempt.

If you didn’t activate a Google Account on the tablet and you forgot your Backup PIN, you have to perform a hard reset.

CAUTION If you perform a hard reset, all user applications and user data will be deleted from your tablet's memory.

Performing a Hard Reset (Factory Reset)

If you forget your lock sequence and your Backup PIN, you’ll have to perform a hard reset to gain access to your tablet.

WARNING! Performing a hard reset deletes all of your user data, which includes pictures, videos, and music saved to your internal memory. Please make sure to back up your information prior to performing a hard reset.

1. Turn the tablet off.

24The Basics

2.Press and hold both the Power/Lock key and Volume Down key on the right side of the tablet at the same time.

3.When you see the System recovery screen, release the keys.

6.Your device will perform a hard reset.

WARNING! If you perform a hard reset, all user applications, user data, and DRM licenses will be deleted. Please remember to backup any important data before performing a hard reset.

Using the KnockON feature

The KnockON feature allows you to double-tap the screen to easily turn the screen on or off. You can disable this feature in the Display settings.

For the best results, keep the tablet still when using KnockON.

Quickly double-tap the center of the screen to turn the screen on.

Quickly double-tap the Status Bar, an empty area on the Home screen, or the Lock screen to turn the screen off.

NOTE The KnockON feature can be turned off in the Display settings menu. From the Home screen, tap Apps (in the Quick Access Bar) > Settings > Display > KnockON > tap the KnockON checkbox .

Unlocking your screen using the Knock Code feature

The Knock Code feature allows you to create your own unlock code using a combination of three to eight knocks (or taps) on the screen.

While the screen is off, tap the same sequence you established anywhere on the screen. The Home screen will be accessed directly.

The Basics 25

To activate Knock Code feature
