Android Wear
Android Wear watches from other manu-facturers connect your
phone to your wrist. Pause, play, and skip music tracks or quickly
respond to text messages using only your watch. Android Wear
organizes your information, suggests what you need, and shows it
to you before you even ask. Get messages from your friends,
meeting notifications, and weather updates at a glance.
Set up your device
When you first turn on your tablet, you’ll see a Welcome screen.
Choose the language you want and touch the arrow to continue.
IMPORTANT: To complete the setup process, it’s best to

contacts, calendar events, and other data associated with that
account are automatically synced with your device.

phone, that change also appears on your tablet and on any computers where you’re signed in to your Google Account.

Google Now
Google Now is about getting you just the right information, at just
the right time. It tells you today’s weather before you start your
day, how much trafc to expect before you leave for work, and
even your favorite team’s score while they’re playing.
For example, here’s a Google Now card that appears when you’re
about to start your commute:
ANDROID QUICK START GUIDE ESSENTIALS

After you star t using Google Now, you don’t need to do anything
else. If you like, you can ne -tune some settings, but Google Now
doesn’t need any elaborate setup.
How it works
To know when to show information you’ll nd useful, Google Now
uses contextual data from your device and from other Google
products, plus data from third-party products that you allow
Google Now to access. For example, if you have an appointment
in Google Calendar that includes an address, Google Now can
check trafc and suggest when to leave.
When you decide to use Google Now, you’re also turning on Location Reporting and Location History:
• Location Reporting allows Google to periodically store and
use your device’s most recent location data in connection
with your Google Account. Location Reporting is a per-device
setting.
• Location History allows Google to store a history of your
location data from all devices where you’re logged into your
Google Account and have turned on Location Reporting.
You can control how Google Now uses your current location. To
view the relevant settings, go to
Settings > Personal > Loca-
tion. When location services are turned on for your account on a
given device, certain apps can use them to give you more relevant
information, such as nearby restaurants or commute trafc.
