GET STARTED

SHIELD WELCOME

Press the NVIDIA Button to power on the SHIELD portable. The SHIELD portable

device tutorial walks you through a series of screens explaining basic button functions and

overview functions. Use the button to go through the SHIELD Welcome screens.

During the SHIELD welcome, you will be asked to accept NVIDIA Software License

Agreement, Privacy Policy, and Tegra Experience Terms of Service legal information. To

review the legal terms of service, go to: Settings > About > Legal information > View Terms

of Service.

Once finished with the SHIELD Welcome, the Android TV Setup begins.

NOTE: It is a good practice to check for software updates even when you first
purchase your SHIELD portable. Go to Settings > About > System update to

download the latest software.

ANDROID TV SETUP

Upon completion of the SHIELD Welcome, you enter the standard Android TV setup process.

During this process, you will configure the Android TV portion of the SHIELD portable device

by setting up email account(s), configuring Wi-Fi access, and other functions.

The first screen displayed asks you to choose a language. If it is on your language, select Start

to begin the setup. Otherwise, select your language from the list and then select Start. A series

of screens takes you through the setup process. If you already have Gmail, use your Gmail

address and password when asked. If you do not have Gmail or any other Google Account, you

can create one during setup. As you go through the setup screens, you have the option to skip

some steps. To set up options you skipped, or for more information, see Settings.
