Getting Started

Power On & Sign In

To turn on your Prestige, press the Power button on the right edge near the top for a few seconds, then release it.

Charge the battery

The battery may not be fully charged at first. It’s a good idea to fully charge it as soon as you can.

The tablet can be charged 2 ways. With the power adapter, connect the power adapter to the tablet and to a power outlet. With a USB, connect the included USB cable to the tablet and to a computer that is powered on. (Note: charging via USB is slower than via power adapter.)

Set up your tablet

The first time you turn on the tablet, you'll see a Welcome screen.

PRESTIGE Android Tablet Guide Book

When prompted, you can sign in with your Google Account or create one at that time. You can also choose to skip this step and create one later.

An e-mail address that you use for any of the following counts as a Google Account:

• Gmail

• YouTube

• Google Apps

• Adwords

• Any other Google Product

When you sign in with a Google Account, all the e-mail, contacts, calendar events and any other data associated with that account are automatically synced with your tablet.

If you have multiple Google Accounts, you can add the others later.

You’re in control

When you decide to use Google Now, you’re turning on location reporting and location history. Google Now also uses location information provided by Google’s location service and GPS, if those are currently turned on.

Google Now also uses data that you may have stored in other Google products. For example, if you have searches stored in your Web History, Google Now can show cards based on sports scores, flight status, and so on.

Similarly, Google Now can use data that you may have stored in third-party products that you allow Google to access. For example, your tablet’s synced calendar may include entries from non-Google calendar products. If you have a synced calendar entry for a dentist appointment that includes the dentist’s address, Google Now can check traffic and suggest when to leave.

You’re in control. You can choose exactly which cards you’d like to see, adjust the details of what they display, and adjust your privacy settings.
