Android Wear
Android Wear watches from other manu-facturers connect your
tablet 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 notications, and weather updates at
a glance.
Set up your device
When you frst 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
have a Wi-Fi connection.
When prompted, sign in with your Google Account or create one
at that time. Signing in lets you immediately access everything
associated with your Google Account, like Gmail. If you prefer,
you can skip this step and create an account later.
ANDROID QUICK START GUIDE WELCOME TO ANDROID 3
An email address that you use for any of the following counts as
a Google Account:
• Gmail
• YouTube
• Google Play
• Google Apps
• AdWords
• Any other Google product
Signing in with a Google Account helps you get up and running
quickly. When you sign in, you can easily get all the apps you’ve
purchased on Google Play onto your new device. All the email,
contacts, calendar events, and other data associated with that
account are automatically synced with your device.
If you have multiple Google Accounts, you can add others later
from Settings > Personal > Accounts. You can also add guest
users in Settings > Device > Users.
Make yourself at home
After you nish setting up your device, the Home screen appears
for the rst time. Here, you can add app icons and widgets (an “at-
a-glance” view of an app’s most important information) to your
Home screens to easily nd them.
• To move between Home screens, swipe left or right.
• To see notications, swipe down from the top of the screen
with one nger.

Essentials
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 12
After you start 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 Loca-
tion 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.
To learn more about how Google Now uses your location and
other information, visit f nnf kd-bnl . mnv .
ANDROID QUICK START GUIDE ESSENTIALS 13
Try it
You have a chance to turn on Google Now when you rst set up
your device. You can also turn it on or off at any time:
1. Touch & hold any empty space on your Home screen.
2. Go to Settings > Google Now.
To open Google Now, swipe up from the Home button. Updates
appear in the form of Google Now cards. When you don’t need a
card anymore, swipe it from left to right. Swiping from right to left
returns you to the main Home screen.
When you want to see more cards, touch More at the bottom of
the screen.
To adjust the way certain cards get updated:
• Manage reminders: From the Menu at the top left of the
screen, touch Reminders.
• Request updates for your sports teams, stocks, and more:
From the Menu, touch Customize.
• Customize other updates: At the top right of each card, touch
the three dots.
ANDROID QUICK START GUIDE ESSENTIALS 14
What you can ask Google to do for you
When you use Google Now, you can speak to your device to
search, get directions, and create reminders. For example, say
“Ok Google, do I need an umbrella tomorrow?” to see if there’s
rain in the weather forecast.
Turn “Ok Google” on or off
You can start a search or task by saying “Ok Google.” To turn it
off or on, open Google Now or the Google app and touch Menu >
Settings > Voice > OK Google detection.
Display
Change the display settings on your device by following these
steps:
1. Go to Settings > Device > Display.
2. Choose from the following settings. Some of these settings
may vary by your device and version of Android. All can affect
battery life. See “Manage battery life” on page 8 for more
information.
• Brightness level: Move the slider to set the brightness
level on your device.
• Adaptive brightness: Turn on adaptive brightness to au-
tomatically optimize the brightness level on your device
based on the available light around you. Adaptive bright-
ness is on by default. You can still adjust your brightness
when needed.

go black when you’re not using it. Learn more about Sleep
Settings.
• Daydream: Set up screensavers that display photos, color-
ANDROID QUICK START GUIDE ESSENTIALS 15
ful backgrounds, and more when your device is charging or
docked.
• if you want your tablet to wake up when you pick it up or
when a notication arrives.
Sound & notication
You can change the sound and notication settings on your de-
vice by going to Settings > Device > Sound & notication.
Notications alert you to the arrival of new messages, calen-
dar events, and alarms, as well as ongoing events, such as
downloads:
• Interruptions. Prioritize sound notications so they don’t inter-
rupt you. In Downtime, select which days and times you allow for
sound notifications.
• When device is locked. Manage whether notications can be
seen when your tablet is locked, and whether sensitive con -
tent in a notication can be seen. Sensitive content includes
things like the title of a song you downloaded, who sent you an
email, or the details of a calendar event. For more information,
visit the Help Center.
• App Notications. Modify the notication settings individu-
ally for apps such as Gmail. The setting under When device
is locked will always take precedence over the setting for an
individual app.
• Notication access. See which apps can access your
notications.
ANDROID QUICK START GUIDE ESSENTIALS 16
When a notication arrives, its icon appears at the top of the
screen. Icons for pending notications appear on the left, and
system icons showing things like the Wi-Fi signal, mobile carrier
signal, or battery strength are on the right:
Notications Wi-Fi signal Battery
Certain notications can be expanded to show more information,
such as email previews or calendar events. The one at the top is
always expanded when possible. To expand a notication, posi-
tion one nger inside it and swipe down slowly.
To open the related app, touch the notication icon on the left.
Some notications also allow you to take specic actions by
touching icons within the notication. For example, Calendar
notications allow you to Snooze (remind you later) or send email
to other guests.
When you’re nished with a notication, swipe it away. To dismiss
all notications, touch Dismiss at the very bottom of the noti-
cations list.
ANDROID QUICK START GUIDE ESSENTIALS 17
Manage accounts on your device
You can add accounts so that information associated with that
account automatically syncs with your device. You’ll need to set
up an account on your device if you want to get email or get apps
on Google Play.
You can also add multiple users for your device, like if several
people share a tablet. Adding users is different from adding
accounts. Each user has separate settings and can’t access the
accounts of other users, whereas a single user can have multiple
accounts and switch between them anytime they’re signed in.
Make sure you’re signed in as the correct user before adding or
removing any account information.
Add an account
1. Go to Settings > Personal > Accounts. Touch “Add
account.”
2. Touch the type of account you want to add. You may be able
to choose from choices like “Google,” “Personal (IMAP),” or
“Personal (POP3).” If you’re not sure whether to choose IMAP
ANDROID QUICK START GUIDE ESSENTIALS 18
or POP3, try IMAP first. Many email services use IMAP.

When you sign in with a Google Account, all the email, con-
tacts, calendar events, and other data associated with that
account are automatically synced with your device.
ii. Follow the on-screen instructions to add the account.
To change the settings of any of the accounts you added, follow
these steps:
1. Go to Settings > Personal > Accounts.
2. Select your account. If you’re using a Google Account, touch
Google and then your account.
Remove an account
When you remove an account that you’ve added to your device,
everything associated with that account, including email, con-
tacts, and settings is also deleted. You can’t remove the account
you used to initially set up your device.
To remove an account from your device, follow these steps:
1. Check to see if the account you want to remove is the account
you used to set up your device.
• If it’s not, go to step 2 and follow the instructions.
• If it is, reset your device to its factory settings instead of
following the steps below. This erases all of the data from
your device and you’ll need a Google Account to set up your
device again.
2. Open the Settings menu on your device.
ANDROID QUICK START GUIDE ESSENTIALS 19
3. Under “Accounts,” touch the name of the account you want to
remove. If you’re using a Google Account, touch Google and

contacts, Calendar events, and other data associated with
that account will no longer automatically sync with your
device.
4. Touch Menu in the top right corner of the screen.
5. Touch Remove account.
Share your device with other users
You can easily share your device with family and friends by creat-
ing a separate user for each person. Each person has their own
space on the device for custom Home screens, accounts, apps,
settings, and more. You must be the device owner to add users.
To add a new user, follow these steps:
1. Go to Settings > Device > Users.
2. Touch Add user, then touch OK.
i. If you’re with the new user: Touch “Set up now” and you’ll
be taken to the lock screen. Select the new user, unlock the
screen, and allow them to set up their Google Account and
other details.
ii. If the new user isn’t around: Touch “Not now.” A “New user”
will appear in the list. The next time you’re with the user, go
back to the user list and select “New user” or click the user
image on the lock screen.
After a user is set up, when you go to the lock screen, you’ll see a
second user prole picture or avatar in the status bar. To choose
a user, touch the picture and unlock the screen. Each user can set
their own screen lock.
ANDROID QUICK START GUIDE ESSENTIALS 20
Switch users
To switch users, swipe down from the top of any screen twice to
open Quick Settings. Touch the image of the current user in the
top right corner of the screen, then touch another user’s image.
Remove a user
The device’s owner can delete any user that they added:
1. Go to Settings > Device > Users.
2. Touch Settings next to the user’s name, then touch Re-
move user.
Other users can only delete their own space.
1. Go to Settings > Device > Users.
2. Touch Menu > Delete username from this device.
Guest user
If someone wants to temporarily use your device, but they don’t
need to be set up as a regular user, they can use it as a guest.
Guest users don’t have access to your mail, your apps, or any
content on your device that’s tied to your account, like photos or
downloaded les. You must be the device’s owner to add a guest.
1. Go to Settings > Device > Users.
2. Touch Guest.
When your guest is nished using your device, you can switch
back to another user.
To switch to another user: Swipe down from the top of any
screen, and then touch the bar at the top to open Quick Settings.
To choose another user, touch the image in the top right corner of
the screen, then touch another user’s image.
ANDROID QUICK START GUIDE ESSENTIALS 21
Security
If a lock is set for your screen, the screen goes dark and locks
when the display goes to sleep or if you press the Power button.
You can set locks of different strengths using Screen Lock
settings:
1. Go to Settings > Personal > Security > Screen
lock.
2. Touch the type of lock you’d like to use.
Even when your screen is locked, you can perform certain
activities.
• Quick Settings: Slide down from the top of the screen to open
Quick Settings without entering your password.
• Camera: Slide from right to left to open the Camera.
• Access Dialer: Slide from left to right.
(First you have to enter your password.)
If you have a device that’s set up for more than one user, you may
need to touch your image at the bottom of the screen to see your
own locked screen.
For more information, visit Customize the screen lock.
Smart Lock
You can turn on Smart Lock to keep your device unlocked when
it’s clear that you have it with you—for example, when it’s con-
nected to your Bluetooth watch or when it recognizes your face.
ANDROID QUICK START GUIDE ESSENTIALS 22
Trusted devices and face matching
You can set your device to stay unlocked while connected to a
Bluetooth device—like a watch, tness tracker, headset, or car
speaker system. You can also set your device to unlock when it
touches an NFC tag.
You can also have your device unlock when it recognizes your
face. After setting a trusted face, every time you turn on your
device, it will search for your face and unlock if it recognizes you.
Keep in mind that someone who looks similar to you could unlock
your tablet.
Note: Face matching doesn’t store any photos of you. Data used to
recognize your face is only stored on your device and is not acces-
sible by apps or backed up on Google servers.
Protect against harmful apps
Apps from Google Play are always veried by Google to protect
you and your device from harm. By default, your device doesn’t al-
low the installation of apps from sources other than Google Play.
If you choose to allow the installation of apps from unknown
sources and install apps from sources other than Google Play, it’s
more likely that apps will be installed that could harm you or your
device.
If you allow the installation of apps from unknown sources, the
Verify Apps feature protects you when installing apps outside
of Google Play by continually checking your device to make sure
that all apps installed are behaving in a safe manner, even after
installation.
