Section 1: Getting Started
This section explains how to start using your tablet by configuring
your hardware and activating your service.
Setting Up Your Tablet
Prior to use it is necessary to install both the SIM card and the
memory card into their corresponding compartments.
Warnin g!:
Please note that a touch screen responds best to a light touch from
the pad of your finger. Using excessive force or a metallic object
when pressing on the touch screen may damage the tempered
glass surface and void the warranty. For more information, refer to
“Warranty Information” on page 119.
Installing the SIM Card
When you subscribe to a cellular network, you are provided with a
plug-in SIM card loaded with your subscription details, such as
your PIN, available optional services, and many others features.
Important!:
The plug-in SIM card can be easily damaged by scratching or
bending, so be careful when handling, inserting, or removing the
card. Keep all SIM cards out of reach of small children.
Carefully slide the SIM card into the SIM card socket (as
shown) until the card locks into place.
•
Make sure that the card’s gold contacts face downward and that
the upper-left angled corner of the card is positioned as shown.
Note:
If the card is not inserted correctly, the tablet does not detect the SIM
card. Re-orient the card back into the slot if the SIM is not detected.
Installing the Memory Card
Your device lets you use a microSD (SD) or microSDHC card
to expand available memory space. This secure digital card
enables you to exchange images, music, and data between SDcompatible devices. This type of memory card is designed for use
with this tablet and other devices.
Getting Started 1
Page 8
Push the microSD card into the slot until it clicks (as shown).
•
Make sure the microSD’s gold contact pins face downward and
the card is securely inserted.
Note:
Your tablet has been tested to support up to a 32GB memory card.
For more information on Memory Cards, see “Memory Card” on
page 22.

Charging the Battery
Your tablet is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. The Travel
Adapter that is used to charge the battery is included with your
tablet.
Note:
Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, browser
use, and other variables may reduce the battery’s talk and standby
times.
Although you can use the device while the battery is charging,
doing so will require additional charging time.
Note:
You must fully charge the battery before using your tablet for the first
time. A discharged battery recharges fully in approximately 4 hours.
Using the Travel Adapter
To use the travel adapter to charge your battery, follow these
steps:
1. Carefully slide the Outlet Connector into the Charging Head
(1). Make sure the connection is secure.
2. Connect the USB cable to the Charging Head (2).

4. Plug the charging head into a standard AC power outlet.
Low Battery Indicator
When the battery is weak and only a few minutes of talk time
remain, the battery icon ( ) blinks and the device sounds a
warning tone at regular intervals. In this condition, your tablet
conserves its remaining battery power by dimming the backlight.
The battery level is indicated by the battery charge indicator
located in the upper-right corner of your device’s display. Solid
color ( ) indicates a full charge.
When the battery level becomes too low, the tablet automatically
turns off.
Switching the Tablet On or Off

Joining Contacts
Joining Contact Information
Many people now maintain multiple email accounts, social
networking logins, and other similar account information. For
example, a Facebook account login name might differ from a
corporate email account login because they are maintained
separately and for different groups of people.
This device can synchronize with multiple accounts such as
Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Corporate email, and Google. When
you synchronize your tablet with these accounts, each account
creates a separate contact entry in the Contacts list.
If one of your contacts (Amy Smith, for example) has a regular
email account that you maintain in Gmail, but also has a Facebook
account under her maiden and married name, as well as a Yahoo!
chat account, when you merge these accounts into your Contacts
list you can join all of her entries and view the information in one
record.
The next time you synchronize your tablet with your accounts, any
updates that contacts make to email account names, email
addresses, etc. automatically update in your contacts list.

Wi-Fi
About Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi (short for "wireless fidelity") is a term used for certain types
of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN). These device types use
an 802.11 wireless specification to transmit and receive wireless
data. Wi-Fi communication requires access to a Wireless Access
Point (WAP). WAPs can either be Open (unsecured) or Secured
(requiring knowledge of the password and possibly the router
name).
Turning Wi-Fi On
By default, your device’s Wi-Fi feature is turned off. Turning Wi-Fi
on makes your device able to discover and connect to compatible
in-range WAPs.

Pairing Bluetooth Devices
The Bluetooth pairing process allows you to establish trusted
connections between your device and another Bluetooth device.
When you pair devices, they share a passkey, allowing for fast,
secure connections while bypassing the discovery and
authentication process.
To pair your device with another Bluetooth device:
1. Verify your Bluetooth is active.
2. Tap
Scan devices
. Your device will display a list of
discovered in-range Bluetooth devices.

The external device will then have to also accept the
connection and enter your device’s PIN code.
Note:
Due to different specifications and features of other Bluetooth-
compatible devices, display and operations may be different, and
functions such as transfer or exchange may not be possible with all
Bluetooth compatible devices.
Note:
Pairing between two Bluetooth devices is a one-time process. Once a
pairing has been created, the devices will continue to recognize their
partnership and exchange information without having to re-enter a
passcode again.
To disconnect a paired device:
Disconnecting a paired device breaks the connection between the
device and your tablet, but retains the knowledge of the pairing. At
a later point when you wish to reconnect the device, there is no
need to setup the connection information again.
1. Verify your Bluetooth is active.

previous pairing information.

of the previously paired device (from the bottom of the
page). This opens the connected device’s menu options.
