VPN A Virtual Private Network (VPN) provides the ability to securely connect to your workplace network remotely and is a common standard tool used by most Information Technology (IT) departments. A VPN connection provides the security of your workplace firewall and allows you to exchange emails and view sensitive work-related information. You may need to obtain specific format and settings information from your workplace; such as: • PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) • L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol) Cellular Networks Settings 1.

LTE is recommended and enabled by default. 2G and 3G bands are also supported. 3. Access Point Names. Typically, the SIM you insert will include APN data for the network it is associated with. You should see at least one APN. Use the "+" sign at the top of the screen to add an APN if needed. 4. Network operators. This option will scan for all carriers available in your area and provide a list for you to choose from. If you select a carrier other than your current carrier, you will incur roaming charages for data transferred. 5. Mobile Plan. How to Use the Stylus Your tablet includes the NVIDIA DirectStylus™. This stylus enables precise control of handwriting, drawing, and touchscreen games that require pinpoint accuracy. The stylus has a chisel tip, similar to the tip of a highlighter pen. For fine lines, touch with the pointed tip. For thick lines, touch with the full width of the chisel. NOTE Some apps do not support variable line thickness. In those apps, the stylus produces the same line thickness, regardless of which part of the tip you use. When the tablet is in stylus-only mode, the touchscreen only responds to input from the stylus. Touches from your finger or palm are ignored. Stylus Behavior How to Enable Access to Stylus-Only Mode Before you can use stylus-only mode, you must enable access in the settings. 1. Go to Settings > DirectStylus. 2. Under Stylus-Only Mode and Lasso Capture, select the Quick access via navigation bar check box. Copyright © 2014 NVIDIA Corporation

How to Use Stylus-Only Mode Before you can use stylus-only mode, you must enable access in the settings. For more information, see How to Enable Access to Stylus-Only Mode. 1. Remove the stylus from its holder. 2. In the Navigation bar, tap the Stylus-Only Mode icon . 3. To return to Touch Mode, tap the Stylus-Only Mode icon again. NOTE Your NVIDIA device automatically disables stylus-only mode when you return the stylus to its holder. The device also disables stylus-only mode when you press the power button quickly to put the device to sleep. This allows you to continue using the touchscreen even if you left the device in stylus mode but do not have the stylus with you. How to Optimize Palm Rejection for Your Writing Style Your tablet includes palm-rejection technology. This technology ensures that the touch screen responds only to the stylus while you are writing, even if you rest your hand on the screen while you write. When the stylus is not touching the screen, the touchscreen responds normally to your finger. If your palm is sometimes misidentified when you reposition your hand on the screen, then you can change the DirectStylus pen-to-touch delay to optimize palm rejection for your writing style. Pen-to-touch delay temporarily suppresses non-stylus touches during and after stylus input. The default delay of 0.5 seconds works well for most users. If you do a lot of stylus interactions with your palm on the screen, select a longer delay. If you do not put your palm on the screen and you switch quickly between stylus and finger inputs, select a shorter delay. 1. Go to Settings > DirectStylus. 2. Tap Set timer to activate finger touch after pen use. • To remove any delay, tap Disable touch only during pen use. • To add a delay, tap one of the delay options. How to Adjust the Stylus for Left-Handed Use Left-handed users tend to place their palm on the left side of the screen. In left-handed mode, the palm rejection algorithm rejects stray touch inputs from the left side of the screen. 1. Go to Settings > DirectStylus. 2. Under Handedness, tap Left-handed to select the check box. To return to right-handed mode, tap again to clear the check box. How to Show or Hide the Draw Cursor The draw cursor shows when the stylus touches the screen and provides precision visual feedback. 1. Go to Settings > DirectStylus. Copyright © 2014 NVIDIA Corporation

2. Under Cursor, tap Show draw cursor to select the check box. To hide the draw cursor, tap again to clear the check box.

SHIELD gives you the power to access your GeForce® GTX-powered computer from the comfort of your couch. Play your favorite PC games on a full-size controller with ultra-low latency thanks to SHIELD 's game-speed Wi-Fi and the fast performance of GeForce GTX GPUs. Use a SHIELD Controller or mouse and keyboard to play almost any game on a big screen TV with Console Mode. • Enjoy full optimization for game speed WiFi with ultra-low latency, using any of our recommended routers. • Experience visual performance with 1080p at up to 60 frames per second on SHIELD tablet's 8" HD multi-touch LCD display or take advantage of 1080p streaming to your HDTV. • Console Mode ready - experience your favorite PC games on the big screen System Requirements for GAMESTREAM The basic requirements are a Wi-Fi router and a modern gaming PC with a GeForce GTX 650 or higher desktop GPU. NOTE With the latest software for SHIELDSoftware Update 71, you can now use a GeForce powered notebook to GameStream your game library to your SHIELD. The detailed requirements are: • GPU:  Desktop: GeForce GTX 650 or higher  Notebook: GeForce GTX 800M, GTX 700M, and select (Kepler-based) GTX 600M GPUs Copyright © 2014 NVIDIA Corporation

• CPU: Intel Core i3-2100 3.1GHz or AMD Athlon II X4 630 2.8GHz or higher • System Memory: 4GB or higher • OS: Windows 8 or Windows 7 • Software:  Latest GeForce Display Drivers (www.geforce.com)  Latest version of GeForce Experience (Installed with Driver)  Latest Steam Client • Routers: 802.11a/g router (minimum). 802.11n dual band router (recommended). SHIELD should be connected at 5GHz to take advantage of full gaming optimizations in GameStream mode. Refer to http://shield.nvidia.com/accessories-hardware/ for a list of recommended dual-band routers. PC Games Supported by GameStream Go to http://shield.nvidia.com/pc-game-list/ to find the latest list of games that provide the best experience for PC game streaming. New games are added frequently. how gamestream works NVIDIA uses the H.264 encoder built into GeForce GTX 650 or higher desktop GPUs along with an efficient wireless streaming software protocol integrated into GeForce Experience to stream games from the PC to SHIELD over the user’s home Wi-Fi network with ultra-low latency. Gamers can then use SHIELD controller + SHIELD as the controller and display for their favorite PC games that are supported for GameStream, as well as for Steam Big Picture. In addition to streaming the game, NVIDIA also configures PC games for streaming using GeForce Experience to deliver a seamless out-of-the-box experience. There are three key activities involved here: • Generating optimal game settings for streaming games from the PC to SHIELD . We use our GeForce Experience servers to determine the best quality settings based on the user’s CPU and GPU, and target higher frame rates than ‘normal’ optimal settings to ensure the lowest latency gaming experience. These settings are automatically applied when the PC game is launched so gamers don’t have to worry about configuring these settings themselves. • Enabling controller support in games. This avoids gamers having to manually configure controller support in the game – it ‘just works’ out of the box. • Optimizing the game launch process. This is important so that gamers can get into the game as quickly and seamlessly as possible, without hitting launchers or other 2 foot UI interactions that can be difficult to interface with a controller.

$Streaming non-GAMESTREAM ready games NVIDIA officially supports GameStream for over 100 games, but GeForce Experience allows users to manually add and stream nearly any game. Manage your list of manually added games in GeForce Experience under the GameStream section of the "Preferences" tab in GeForce Experience. 1. Open GeForce Experience and navigate to the "Preferences" tab and select "GameStream" from the menu on the left. You will see the following menu that will allow you to add any application to the SHIELD GameStream section of the SHIELD Hub app on your SHIELD . 2. Drag and drop a shortcut to your favorite game or click on the sign to search your PC for the .exe of the application you would like to add to the GameStream list on SHIELD . 3. You can then click the icon to edit the name and box art of the applications in your list. 4. Once you have added applications into the list, they will appear on your SHIELD 's GameStream list and can be launched just like any other app. Note that NVIDIA does not configure optimal settings for manually added games, so you may need to adjust in-game settings manually for the best experience. TIP You can even use this feature to stream your entire PC desktop. To do so, add a shortcut to Windows’ Remote Desktop Connection app (c:\windows\system32\mstsc.exe) in GeForce Experience, then select the newly added Remote Desktop tile from SHIELD ’s My PC Games tab. From here, you have access to your entire desktop. Tips for Interacting with Unsupported Games • SHIELD is a touch screen device that uses mouse emulation for streaming. Any time the user is in a situation where using the mouse would bypass a menu or in-game option that the controller will not operate, simply use the touch screen as the mouse. • SHIELD has a full virtual keyboard built into the touch screen interface. As with the mouse, if there is a situation that requires a keyboard instead of the controller, use the virtual keyboard by tapping two fingers on the touch screen and tapping the keyboard icon that appears. • While Streaming a PC game, you can use the Pinch to Zoom and Pan functions to better navigate menus or other in game elements that are hard to see. Simply pinch or expand with two fingers to zoom and use a two finger swipe to pan around while zoomed. Remote GAMESTREAM BETA Remote GameStream is a new feature that will allow you to stream games from your PC to your SHIELD outside of your local WiFi network. To set up remote GameStream with your PC and SHIELD , follow the steps below. 1. Make sure your PC has Network discovery enabled. Go to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change advanced sharing settings and select ‘Turn on network discovery.' Copyright © 2014 NVIDIA Corporation$
