First things first
We would like to thank you for making an Acer computer your choice for
meeting your mobile computing needs.

Your guides
To help you use your Acer computer, we have designed a set of guides:
First off, the setup poster helps you get started with setting up your computer.
The ICONIA TAB Generic User Guide contains useful information applying to all
models in the ICONIA TAB product series. It covers basic topics such as using the
keyboard and audio, etc. Please understand that due to its nature, the Generic
User Guide will occasionally refer to functions or features which are only
contained in certain models of the series, but not necessarily in the model you
purchased. Such instances are marked in the text with language such as "only
for certain models".
The Quick Guide introduces you to the basic features and functions of your new
computer. For more on how your computer can help you to be more productive,
please refer to the ICONIA TAB Generic User Guide. This guide contains detailed
information on such subjects as system utilities, data recovery, expansion
options and troubleshooting. In addition it contains warranty information and
the general regulations and safety notices for your computer. It is available in
Portable Document Format (PDF) and comes preloaded on your computer.
Follow these steps to access it:
