FCC Notice

The following statement applies to all products that have received FCC approval.

Applicable products bear the FCC logo, and/or an FCC ID in the format FCC ID: P4M-AMD120 on the product label.

The mobile device complies with part of 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This mobile device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this mobile device must accept any interference

received, including interference that may cause undesirable operation. This mobile device has been tested and

found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are

designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. The

equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance

with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee

that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to

radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is

encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s

authority to operate the equipment.

The Antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be collocated or operating in conjunction with any other

antenna or transmitter.

RF Exposure Information (FCC SAR)

DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES. This device is designed

and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal

Communications Commission of the U.S. Governments.

The exposure standard for wireless mobile devices employees a unit of measurement known as the Specific

Absorption Rage, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. Test for SAR are conducted using standard

operating positions accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all

tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level

of the device while operating cane be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed to

operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer

you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. The highest SAR value for the device as

reported to the FCC when tested for use when worn on the body, as described in this guide, is 0.657W/kg (Body-

worn measurements differ among device models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements.)

3

While there may be difference between the SAR levels of various devices and at various positions, they all meet

the government requirement.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in

compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this device is on file with the FCC and can be

found under the Display Grant Section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/ after searching on FCC ID: P4M-AMD120



Touch Pattern, PIN, or Password

If you touch

Pattern,

you are guided to create a pattern you must draw to unlock the screen. If

unlock your screen. The next time you turn on your tablet or wake up the screen, you must draw

your unlock pattern or enter your PIN or password to unlock the screen.

Encrypt your tablet

You can encrypt all the data on your tablet including Google accounts, application data, music, and other media.

However, if you do, you must enter a numeric PIN or password each time you power on your tablet.

WARNING! Encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert to an unencrypted tablet is to perform a factory

data reset, which erases all data on the tablet.

Before you can start encrypting your tablet, you must set a lock screen PIN or password and ensure that your

tablet is plugged in. Schedule an hour or more for the encryption process: you must not interrupt it or you will

lose some or all of your data.

Open Settings and touch Location & security > Encrypt tablet.

Read the information on the Encrypt Tablet screen carefully.

Warning!

You must not

interrupt

the encryption process or you will lose

data.

progress.

Encryption can take an hour or more, during

which time your tablet may

r

e

st

several

times.

When encryption is

complete,

you’re prompted to

enter your PIN or

password.

Subsequently,

you must enter your PIN or password each time you

power

on

your

tablet,

to decrypt it

.

Connecting to Bluetooth devices

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless

communications

technology that devices

ca

n

use to exchange

information over a

distance

of about 8

meters.

The most

common

Bluetooth devices are

headsets

for

making calls or listening to music,

han

d

s-f

r

ee

kits for cars, and other portable devices, including

la

ptops.

There are several Bluetooth profiles that define the

features

and

comm

uni

cat

i

on

s

standards

for Bluetooth

devices. To

connect

to a Bluetooth device, you must turn on your

t

a

b

l

et

’

s

Bluetooth

radio.

The first time

you use a new device with your

tablet,

you must “pair” the devi

ce

with your

tablet,

so that both devices

know how to

connect

securely to each

other

.

After that, you can simply

connect

to a paired

de

vice

.

Turn off Bluetooth when you’re not using it, to extend the life of your

batt

ery

between charges.

Y

o

u

also be required to turn Bluetooth off in some

lo

cations.

Bluetooth is turned off when you switch to

Airplane

mode.

System bar icons

indicate

Bluetooth

status.

To turn Bluetooth on or off:

 Open the Settings

appli

 Touch wireless and networks

 Check or uncheck Bluetooth

Changing your tablet’s Bluetooth name:

Y

they stay paired unless you unpair

them.

Open the Settings

appli

cation.

 Touch Wireless & networks > Bluetooth settings.

 Check Bluetooth to turn it on.

Your tablet scans for and displays the IDs of all available Bluetooth devices in range.

 If the device you want to pair with isn’t in the list, ensure that the other device is turned on and

set to be discoverable.

 If your tablet stops scanning before your other device is ready, touch Find nearby devices and

then Scan for devices.

 Touch the ID of the other device in the list in the Found list to pair them.

 The devices pair with each other. If you’re prompted to enter a passcode, try entering 0000 or

1234 (the most common passcodes), or consult the documentation that came with the device to

learn its passcode, or what other procedures it requires for pairing.

 If the pairing is successful, your tablet connects to the device.

Connect to a Bluetooth device:

Once paired you can connect to a Bluetooth for example, to switch devices, or to re-connect to a device that has

come back into range.

 Open the Settings

appli

cation.

 Touch
