CAUTION
a
This device can generate high volume levels (particularly
when used in combination with earphones/earbuds). Never listen at high volumes for long periods. Doing so can
result in immediate or gradual hearing damage. Remember: Permanent hearing damage may only
emerge later in life. You may become used to listening at
high volume settings over time, making them appear
normal to you. However, your hearing may have already
been damaged. The higher you set the volume, the more
quickly your hearing can be damaged.
CAUTION
a
Adjusting the default settings for the equalizer can boost
the device’s volume levels and result in hearing loss. Changing the settings of pre-installed software (e.g., the
operating system, firmware, drivers) can also increase volume levels and cause hearing loss.
CAUTION
a
Do not rest the device on your lap or other parts of your body
when in use. The device may heat up, resulting in discomfort
or injury.
CAUTION
a
The battery in the device cannot be removed by the user!
CAUTION
a
Do not rest the device against your vehicle’s airbag or the
airbag’s triggering areas. Injury may result when the airbag
goes off due to the powerful force behind it.
a
Repeating the same sequence of motions (for example,
when writing long texts on the device or playing with the
device for long periods) may result in pain in the arms, hands,
shoulders or the neck area. If you determine that you are
suffering from these or other ailments, stop using the device
and consult a doctor.

Transferring files between the SurfTab and a PC
You will need an external storage device such as a USB stick to
transfer files between your SurfTab and a computer. Direct data
transfer between the SurfTab and a PC via USB cable is not possible.
43
EN
Page 44
You can choose whether to connect a USB stick directly to one
of the two USB ports on the keyboard, or whether to use
a USB host adapter cable and one of the two Micro-USB sockets
on the SurfTab itself.
NOTE
i
If you use one of the USB ports on the keyboard, the SurfTab
must be connected to the keyboard.
Do not disconnect the SurfTab from the keyboard during
the data transfer.
NOTE
i
If you are using a USB stick with the USB 3.0 standard, it is
recommended that you use the supplied USB host adapter
cable and the Micro-USB 3.0 socket on the SurfTab itself
for the data transfer. This way, you can benefit from the
higher transfer speed of the USB 3.0 standard.
a) Connect the USB stick to your computer and transfer the
required file to the USB stick.
b) Remove the USB stick from the computer and connect it to
the relevant socket on your SurfTab.

Connecting to a television via HDMI cable
To connect the SurfTab to a suitable television via HDMI, you
require an appropriate cable (Micro-HDMI to HDMI, available in
specialist shops).
Connect the SurfTab (Micro-HDMI socket, J) and the television
using the cable and, on the television, select the correct
HDMI input as the source (the HDMI input to which the cable
is connected). The television now shows the display of your
SurfTab.
45
EN
Page 46
Connecting to a television via Miracast
Miracast technology is a peer-to-peer standard for image
transfer. The SurfTab supports this standard and enables wireless
transfer of image and sound from the SurfTab to a WiFi- and
Miracast-enabled television device.
NOTE
i
The SurfTab can connect to your television via Miracast
only if the television also supports Miracast technology.
Please check with your television manufacturer if necessary.
Proceed as follows to connect your SurfTab to a Miracastenabled television:
a) First, take all of the necessary steps to prepare your Miracast-
enabled television for the Miracast transfer (see your
television’s operating instructions for details).

23) Useful tips on saving energy
• Deactivate the WiFi function when it is not in use.
• Deactivate the Bluetooth connection when it is not in use.
• Only leave the SurfTab connected to the socket until the
battery is fully charged.
• Switch to standby mode when the SurfTab is not in use or
switch it off completely.
24) Troubleshooting/FAQ
In the following, you will find a list of frequently asked questions
along with the appropriate answers and proposed solutions.
Why is my SurfTab slow to charge?
If you charge the SurfTab while it is under a very high load
(for example, video playback at 100% display brightness and
simultaneous surfing, chatting or games), the battery will charge
very slowly due to the high load. We therefore recommend
charging the SurfTab while it is switched off.
This allows you to get the maximum charging speed.
When I attempt to start a video recording, I get an error
message and recording does not start. What can I do?
Please first install all available updates on your SurfTab (see the
question "How can I install Windows Updates on my SurfTab?").
If you continue to receive an error message despite installing the
updates, please contact customer service.
Why does my SurfTab show less storage space than
indicated on the packaging?
The storage capacity indicated on the packaging and in the
technical specifications refers to the total storage capacity of
your SurfTab. However, a portion of the total storage is also used
by the operating system and system applications.
48
EN
Page 49
Why am I getting no sound from my SurfTab?
You may have connected headphones to your SurfTab. When
headphones are connected, the speakers of the SurfTab are
automatically disabled. Disconnect the headphones from the
SurfTab in order to activate the speakers again. If there is still
no sound from the speakers, check whether the sound on the
SurfTab is switched on and whether the volume is set high
enough.
Why does my SurfTab just switch off sometimes?
If the energy level of the battery falls below a critical level,
the SurfTab displays a corresponding warning.
If you ignore these warnings, the SurfTab is put into sleep mode
at a charge
level of 5 per cent in order to counteract total discharge of the
battery. Total discharge can lead to a situation where it is no
longer possible to charge the SurfTab. For this reason, connect
the tablet to the charger at this point at the latest in order to
prevent data loss and damage to the battery.
My SurfTab won’t switch on. What can I do?
The battery may not be sufficiently charged to allow the SurfTab
to switch on. Connect the SurfTab to the charger (see Section 7)
to recharge the battery.
Which e-book formats are compatible with my SurfTab?
You first need to download an app from the Windows Store
(see Section 16) to be able to read e-books on your SurfTab.
You can search specifically for free apps to display e-books. The
functions of the selected app will determine which e-book
formats you can read on your SurfTab.
How can I install Windows Updates on my SurfTab?
Your SurfTab checks for new updates daily (an Internet connection
must be available) and displays an appropriate message in the
Action Center when new updates are available. To ensure your
49
EN
Page 50
SurfTab is always up-to-date, it is therefore extremely important
to connect the SurfTab regularly to the Internet (see Section 14).
If you selected the "expresssettings" option in the start assistant
when you switched on for the first time, the SurfTab automatically
performs available updates when you shutdown (download and
installation). You can change this setting at a later point in time. To
do this, call up the settings (see Section 13) and select the method
used to install updates under "updAte & seCurity" ->"windows updAte"
-> "AdvAnCedoptions".
What can I do if the internal storage of my SurfTab is full
or almost full?
To relieve the pressure on the internal storage of your SurfTab
and free up storage space, you can transfer media files stored
on the SurfTab (for example, images, videos or text files) to an
external storage device (for example, a USB stick or suitable
memory card) or you can delete apps that you no longer require.
25) Glossary
Apps/applications
An app (abbreviation of the word "application") or application is
a program that you can download from the Windows Store, for
example, and install on your SurfTab. Games, programs for
playing back images and music files, word processing
programs and a lot more are available.
Audio out/mic in
This description of the audio port on your SurfTab indicates that
you can connect simple headphones or earphones (audio signal
out) to the port as well as a headset with microphone (audio/
microphone signal in).
Bluetooth®
Bluetooth is a standardised wireless interface on your SurfTab
that enables a wireless exchange of data between your SurfTab
and other suitable peripheral devices.
50
EN
Page 51
HDMI®
HDMI stands for "High Definition Multimedia Interface" and is a
cable-based interface for digital image and sound transmission
to connected HDMI-ready peripheral devices. Using a suitable
HDMI cable, you can, for example, play the videos stored on your
SurfTab on an HDMI-ready television without having to first save
the videos on your television.
Microsoft account
"Microsoft account" is the new name for the previous "Windows
Live ID". Your Microsoft account consists of an e-mail address and
a password that you need to sign into services such as Outlook.
com, OneDrive, Windows Phone or Xbox Live. If you use an
e-mail address and password to sign into these or other services,
this means that you already have a Microsoft account. You can,
however, register for a new account at any time.
Multi-touch display
A touch display is a display that responds to command inputs
via pressure points (for example, from a finger or a stylus pen).
The multi-touch display is an extension of the "simple" touch
display: It can simultaneously recognise the input of multiple
pressure points. Besides the keyboard provided, the multitouch display is the most important element for operating your
SurfTab.
Task bar
The task bar is the horizontal bar found at the bottom of your
SurfTab. Unlike your desktop, which can be covered by opened
windows, the task bar is almost always visible. The task bar
therefore provides you with constant access to the important
functions and settings of your SurfTab plus an overview of all the
windows you have open.
51
EN
Page 52
USB
USB stands for "Universal Serial Bus" and is the name of a cablebased interface on your SurfTab. It is used to connect peripheral
devices and exchange data between your SurfTab and external
devices such as a USB stick.
USB host adapter cable
The USB host adapter cable included in the package contents
of your SurfTab features a Micro-USB plug (for connecting to the
Micro-USB 3.0 socket of your SurfTab) and a USB socket on the
other end. You can use this cable to connect USB sticks with the
USB 3.0 standard to the Micro-USB 3.0 socket of your SurfTab, for
example, and benefit from the faster data transfer speed of the
USB 3.0 standard.
Windows Store
The Windows Store is an online store offered by Microsoft with
lots of useful and interesting apps that you can download to
your SurfTab. See the "Downloading applications from the
Windows Store" section for information on how to download
apps from the Windows Store. Please note that you need to
pay for some apps (paid apps are clearly labelled as such in the
Windows Store).
