Compliance Information 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 (Bodyworn measurements differ among device models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements.) 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 Contents What’s in the

Signing into your Google account You must sign into a Google Account to use Gmail, Google Talk, and other Google Apps; to download apps from Android Market; to back up your settings and other data to Google servers; and to take advantage of other Google services on your tablet. If you don’t have a Google Account, you can also create one by touching Create Account. 10 Home and Android basics Once you’ve finished setting up your tablet, Home opens. It’s a good idea to become familiar with the basics o f your tablet and how to use it—Home and its Home screens, the touch screen, securing your tablet, monitoring and responding to status and notification messages, and so on. Back Opens the previous screen you were working in. If the onscreen keyboard is open, the button changes to a down arrow and touching it closes the keyboard. Home Opens Home. If you’re viewing a left or right Home screen, opens the central Home screen. Recent Apps Opens a list of thumbnail images of apps you’ve worked with recently; touch an app to open it. Apps Opens a thumbnail list of all of your installed apps Customize You can use the customize button to add shortcuts to apps and widgets to your Home screens and to change the wallpaper. Search Voice Search 11 Touch and add an entry to search your Tablet or the web Search your Tablet or the web by speaking and voice commands Using the Touchscreen The main way to control Android features is by using your finger to manipulate icons, buttons, menu items, the onscreen keyboard, and other items on the touch screen. Touch To act on items on the screen, such as app and settings icons, to type letters and symbols using the onscreen keyboard, or to press onscreen buttons, you simply touch them with your finger. Touch & hold Touch & hold an item on the screen by touching it and not lifting your finger until an action occurs. Drag Touch & hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your finger, move your finger on the screen until you reach the target position. For example, you drag items on the Home screen to reposition them. Swipe or slide To swipe or slide, you quickly move your finger across the surface of the screen, without pausing when you first touch it (so you don’t drag an item instead). For example, you slide the Home screen left or right to view the other parts, and in some Calendar views you slide to view earlier or later periods. Double-tap Tap quickly twice on a webpage, map, or other screen to zoom. For example, you double-tap a section of a webpage in Browser to zoom that section to fit the width of the screen. Double-tapping after pinching to zoom in some apps reflows a column of text to fit the width of the screen. Pinch In some apps (such as Maps, Browser, and Gallery), you can zoom in and out by placing two fingers on the screen at once and pinching them together (to zoom out) or spreading them apart (to zoom in). Rotate the screen On most screens, the orientation of the screen rotates with the tablet as you turn it. You have the option to turn this feature on and off. 12 Monitoring your Tablet’s status The right side of the System bar displays icons indicating that you’ve received notifications, the current time, and icons indicating the tablet’s status. Notification icons Status icons If you have more notifications than can fit in the System bar, a plus icon prompts you to open the Notifications panel to view them all. Status Icons Status icons indicate the status of your tablet at the right edge of the System bar and in the Status Detail panel (which opens if you touch the time). Network Status icons turn blue if you have a Google Account added to your tablet and the tablet is connected to Google services. Otherwise the network icons are gray. Notification Icons Notification icons indicate that you’ve received a notification from the system or from an application. They appear to the left of the time in the System bar. In addition, these icons and apps you install on your tablet may use their own notification icons. 13 Working with Quick settings The Quick Settings m ake it convenient to view or change the most common tablet settings and to open the full Settings app. Open the Status Details.

But you can secure the lock screen by requiring that you draw a pattern or enter a numeric PIN or password, so only you can access your data, buy apps from Market, and so on. You may also be required to secure you lock screen by a policy set by an email account or other account you add to your tablet. You can also encrypt the data on your tablet, so you must enter a numeric PIN or a password to decrypt it each time you power it on. Touch Location & security Touch Configure lock screen Touch Pattern, PIN, or Password If you touch Pattern, you are guided to create a pattern you must draw to unlock the screen. If you touch PIN or Password, you’re prompted to set a numeric PIN or password you must enter to 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. The Encrypt tablet button is dimmed if your battery is not charged or if your tablet is not plugged in. If you change your mind about encrypting your tablet, touch Back Touch the Encrypt tablet button. Enter your lock screen PIN or password and touch Continue. Touch the Encrypt tablet button again, to confirm you want to continue. The encryption process starts and displays its progress. Encryption can take an hour or more, during which time your tablet may restart 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. 15 Customizing the Homescreen You can add app icons, shortcuts, widgets, and other items to any part of any Home screen where there’s free space. You can also change the wallpaper. Open the Home screen where you want to add the item. Touch the Customize button at the top-right of the screen. Touch the category of the item you want to add.

Touch a sample to view a larger version. You can a l s o download additional wallpapers from Android Market. Touch Save or Set wallpaper. 16 Working with Apps Home’s Apps screen has icons for all of the apps on your tablet, including any apps that you downloaded and installed from Android Market or other sources. When you open an app, the other apps you’ve been using don’t stop; they keep on running: playing music, opening web pages, and so on. You can quickly switch among your apps, to work with several at once. The Android operating system and apps work together to ensure that apps you aren’t using don’t consume resources unnecessarily, stopping and starting them as needed. For this reason, there’s no need to stop apps unless you’re certain that one you downloaded is misbehaving. Open the Apps Screen In Home, touch the Apps button at the top right of the screen. If you have more apps than can fit on the Apps screen, you can slide the screen left or right to view more. You can add shortcut to an app to a Home screen by touching & holding the app on the Apps screen until outlines of the Home screens appear below the app icons. Then drag the app icon to the Home screen. If you pause before releasing your finger on a Home screen, that Home screen enlarges, so you can place the shortcut where you want it.

Touch the keys on the keyboard to enter text. As you type, words that the keyboard has suggestions for are underlined. If you set the keyboard to show correction suggestions, they appear in a strip above the keyboard. The underlined word in the strip is the suggested word. You can also touch another word in the strip to enter it instead. You can turn the suggestion feature on or off and change whether suggestions are shown with the Android keyboard settings. Enter text by speaking You can use voice input to enter text by speaking. Voice input is an experimental feature that uses Google’s speech-recognition service, so you must have a data connection on a mobile or Wi-Fi network to use it. Connecting to Networks and Devices Your tablet can connect to Wi-Fi data networks, and Bluetooth devices, such as headsets. You can connect your tablet to a computer, to transfer files from your tablet, using a USB connection or Bluetooth, or to a keyboard, mouse, other input devices, or to a camera to import its photos. 20 Connecting to WiFi Networks Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that can provide Internet access at distances of up to 100 meters, depending on the Wi-Fi router and your surroundings. To use Wi-Fi on your tablet, you connect to a wireless access point, or “hotspot.” Some hotspots are open and you can simply connect to them. Others implement security features, so you must configure your tablet so it can connect to them. There are numerous systems for securing Wi-Fi connections, including some that rely on secure certificates or other schemes to ensure that only authorized users can connect. Turn off Wi-Fi when you’re not using it, to extend the life of your battery between charges. You can also set whether you want to disconnect from Wi-Fi networks when your tablet is sleeping. The Status bar displays icons that indicate Wi-Fi status. Network status icons turn blue if you have a Google Account added to your tablet and the tablet is connected to Google services, for syncing your Gmail, Calendar events, contacts, for backing up your settings, and so on. If you don’t have a Google Account or if, for example, you’re connected to a Wi-Fi network that is not connected to the Internet, the network icons are gray. Connected to a Wi-Fi network (waves indicate connection strength) Notification that an open Wi-Fi network is in range 21 Turn WiFi on and Connect to a Network Open the Settings app. Touch Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi settings. Check Wi-Fi to turn it on. The tablet scans for available Wi-Fi networks and displays the names of those it finds. Secured networks are indicated with a Lock icon. If the tablet finds a network that you connected to previously, it connects to it. Touch a network to connect to it. If the network is open, you are prompted to confirm that you want to connect to that network by touching Connect. If the network is secured, you’re prompted to enter a password or other credentials. (Ask your network administrator for details.) By default, you obtain an address on the network from the network itself, using the DHCP protocol. You can touch DHCP to change the IP settings to Static, so you can enter an address and other network details manually, if you or your network administrator require it. If you do, you must enter: An IP address for your tablet that is valid and unique for your Wi-Fi network The Gateway for the network The network prefix length (a number between 0 and 32, such as 24 for a Class C network, 16 for a Class B, or 8 for a Class A network) At least one DNS server for the network When you’re connected to a network, you can touch its name in the Wi-Fi settings screen for details about the speed, security, address, and related settings. Modify how you connect to a WiFi Network Touch & hold a network in the list Touch Modify network in the dialog that opens. Change the settings you want. Touch Save. 22 Add a WiFi Network You can add a Wi-Fi network so the tablet will remember it, along with any security credentials and connect to it automatically when it is in range. You must also add a Wi-Fi network to connect to it, if the network does not broadcast its name (SSID), or to add a Wi-Fi network when you are out of range of it. To join a secured network, you need to contact the network’s administrator to learn what security scheme is deployed on it and to obtain the password or other required security credentials. Turn on Wi-Fi, if it’s not already on. If you’re adding a Wi-Fi network when first setting up your tablet, Wi-Fi is turned on automatically. In the Wi-Fi settings screen, touch Add Wi-Fi network (at the bottom of the list of discovered networks). Enter the SSID (name) of the network. If necessary, enter security or other network configuration details. Touch Save. The information about the network is saved, so you are connected automatically the next time you come within range of this network. Forget a WiFi Network You can make the tablet forget about the details of a Wi-Fi network if you don’t want the tablet to connect to it automatically, or if it’s a network you no longer use. Turn on Wi-Fi, if it’s not already on. In the Wi-Fi settings screen, touch the name of the network. Touch Forget in the dialog that opens. Set a Wi-Fi disconnect policy By default, the tablet disconnects from Wi-Fi when the screen turns off and connects to a mobile data network instead. It does this to conserve battery power, and reconnects to Wi-Fi again when you wake it. You can change this policy to stay connected to Wi-Fi when the tablet is connected to a charger (when battery life isn’t a problem), or never to disconnect from Wi-Fi, which trades battery life for reduced mobile network data use. 23 On the Wi-Fi settings screen, touch Wi-Fi disconnect policy. Touch the policy you want Connecting to Bluetooth devices Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology that devices can 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, hands-free kits for cars, and other portable devices, including laptops. There are several Bluetooth profiles that define the features and communications standards for Bluetooth devices. To connect to a Bluetooth device, you must turn on your tablet’s Bluetooth radio. The first time you use a new device with your tablet, you must “pair” the device with your tablet, so that both devices know how to connect securely to each other. After that, you can simply connect to a paired device. Turn off Bluetooth when you’re not using it, to extend the life of your battery between charges. You may also be required to turn Bluetooth off in some locations. 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 application. Touch wireless and networks Check or uncheck Bluetooth Changing your tablet’s Bluetooth name: Your tablet has a generic Bluetooth name by default, which is visible to other devices when you connect them. You can change the name so that it is more recognizable. Open the Settings application. Touch wireless and networks – Bluetooth settings. Check Bluetooth to turn it on. Touch Device name , enter a name, and touch OK. 24 Pairing your tablet with a Bluetooth device: You must pair your tablet with a device before you can connect to it. Once you pair your tablet with a device, they stay paired unless you unpair them. Open the Settings application. 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. 25 Open the Settings application. Touch Wireless & networks > Bluetooth settings. Check Bluetooth to turn it on. In the list of devices, touch a paired but unconnected device in the list. If the device you expected isn’t displayed, touch Scan for devices. When the tablet and the device are connected, the device is displayed as connected in the list. Connect to a Camera: If you have a camera or other device that supports the PTP protocol, you can connect it to your tablet’s USB port and import the pictures on the camera into Gallery your tablet. Be sure to read the owner’s guide for your camera to learn what protocols it supports and whether it can use PTP over USB. You may need an adapter cable to connect your camera’s USB cable to your tablet: see your tablet’s owner’s guide. Connect your camera to your tablet using your camera’s USB cable and, if necessary, an adapter from your tablet’s manufacturer for its USB port. Gallery opens, with your cameras’ photos added as an album, labeled Touch to import. Touch the album of your camera’s photos. The album opens with all of your camera’s photos selected for importing to Gallery on your tablet. Select the photos you want to import. The number of photos selected (initially, all) is displayed as the title of a menu in the Application bar. You can touch the menu and touch Deselect all if you want to select just the photos you want to import. If all photos aren’t selected, Deselect all changes to Select all in the menu. You can also touch individual photos to select or deselect them. Touch Import at the top-right of the Application bar. A dialog displays the progress of importing the photos you selected. Touch Done in the Application bar and disconnect your camera. Connecting to a Windows computer via USB You can use the USB cable that came with your tablet to connect it to a Windows computer, to transfer music, pictures, and other files between your tablet and the computer. This connection uses the MTP protocol, which is supported by most recent versions of Windows. Use the USB cable that came with your tablet to connect the tablet to a USB port on your computer. Your tablet’s USB storage or SD card is mounted as a drive on your computer. You can now copy files back and forth as you would using any other external device.
