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 the memory card into their
corresponding compartments.

Warning!:

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 “Standard Limited Warranty” on page 147.

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

4

SD-compatible devices. This type of memory card is designed for
use with this tablet and other devices.

1. Push the microSD card into the slot until it clicks (as

shown).

2. 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 16GB memory card.

For more information on Memory Cards, see “Memory Card” on
page 26.

Charging the Battery

Correct

Incorrect

Correct

Incorrect

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).

3. Insert the USB cable into the device’s Charger/Accessory

jack.

Getting Started 5

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, not by turning off the
backlight, but by entering the dimming mode. For a quick check
of your battery level, glance at 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

1. Press and hold (on the upper right side of the

tablet) until the tablet switches on.
