Getting Started

Power On & Sign In

To turn on your Prestige, press the Power button on the

right edge near the top for a few seconds, then release it.

Charge the battery

The battery may not be fully charged at first. It’s a good

idea to fully charge it as soon as you can.

The tablet can be charged 2 ways. With the power

adapter, connect the power adapter to the tablet and to a

power outlet. With a USB, connect the included USB

cable to the tablet and to a computer that is powered on.

(Note: charging via USB is slower than via power adapter.)

Set up your tablet

The first time you turn on the tablet, you'll see a Welcome

screen.

PRESTIGE Android Tablet Guide Book

When prompted, you can sign in with your Google Account

or create one at that time. You can also choose to skip this

step and create one later.

An e-mail address that you use for any of the following

counts as a Google Account:

• Gmail

• YouTube

• Google Apps

• Adwords

• Any other Google Product

When you sign in with a Google Account, all the e-mail,

contacts, calendar events and any other data associated

with that account are automatically synced with your

tablet.

If you have multiple Google Accounts, you can add the

others later.

other Google products. For example, if you have searches

stored in your Web History, Google Now can show cards

based on sports scores, flight status, and so on.

Similarly, Google Now can use data that you may have

stored in third-party products that you allow Google to

access. For example, your tablet’s synced calendar may

include entries from non-Google calendar products. If you

have a synced calendar entry for a dentist appointment

that includes the dentist’s address, Google Now can check

traffic and suggest when to leave.

you’d like to see, adjust the details of what they display,

and adjust your privacy settings.

Secure Your Tablet

Set Screen Lock

Depending how you use your tablet, you may want to set

some form of automatic screen lock to prevent

unauthorized access. If a screen lock has been set, the

screen locks when your tablet’s display goes to sleep.

If your tablet’s playing music when the screen locks, you

can continue listening or pause the selection without

unlocking.

To adjust your lock settings:

1. Go to Settings > Personal > Security > Screen lock.

2. Touch the type of lock you want and follow the onscreen

instructions. If you have previously set a lock, you must

enter the pattern, PIN, or password to unlock the lock

settings.

You can choose among these lock options, listed in

approximate order of strength:

PRESTIGE Android Tablet Guide Book

Slide provides no protection, but lets you get to the Home

screen quickly, or open Camera and start taking pictures

immediately.

Pattern lets you draw a simple pattern with your finger to

unlock. This is more secure than Slide unlock.

PIN requires four or more numbers. Longer PINs tend to be

more secure.

Password requires four or more letters or numbers. This is

the most secure option, as long as you create a strong

password.

Password tips: For best security, specify a password that is

at least 8 characters long, contains a mixture of numbers,

letters, and special symbols and doesn’t contain any

recognizable words or phrases.

To change when it goes to sleep, go to Settings

> Device > Display > Sleep.

To see your passwords when you input them, go to

Settings > Personal > Security > Make passwords visible.

Encrypt your Tablet

You can encrypt all the data on your tablet: Google

Accounts, app data, music and other media, downloaded

PRESTIGE Android Tablet Guide Book

information, and so on. if you do, you must enter a

numeric PIN or password each time you turn on your

tablet. Note that this is the same PIN or password that you

use to unlock your tablet without encryption, and cannot

be set independently.

Warning: encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert

to an unencrypted tablet is to perform a factory data reset,

which erases all your data.

Encryption provides additional protection in case your

tablet is stolen, and may be required or recommended in

some organizations. Consult your system administrator

before turning it on. in many cases the PIN or password

you set for encryption is controlled by the system

administrator.

Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:

Set a lock screen PIN or password.

Charge the battery.

Plug in your tablet.

Schedule an hour or more for the encryption process: you

must not interrupt it or you will lose some or all of your

data.

PRESTIGE Android Tablet Guide Book

When you’re ready to turn on encryption: Touch Settings >

Personal > Security > Encryption > Encrypt tablet.

Read the information about encryption carefully.

The Encrypt Tablet button is dimmed if your battery’s not

charged or your tablet’s not plugged in. If you change your

mind about encrypting your tablet, touch the back button.

Warning: if you interrupt the encryption process, you will

lose data.

Touch Encrypt tablet.

Enter your lock screen PIN or password and touch

Continue.

Touch Encrypt Tablet again.

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.

Work with Certificates

You can use digital certificates to identify your device for a

variety of purposes, including VPN or Wi-Fi network access

as well as authentication to servers by apps such as email

or browser. To use a certificate to identify your device, you

must obtain it with help from your system administrator,

and install it in your device’s trusted credential storage .

Android supports DER-encoded X.509 certificates, saved in

files with a .crt or .cer file extension. If your certificate file

has a .der or other extension, you must change it to .crt or

.cer or you won’t be able to install it.

Android also supports X.509 certificates saved in PKCS#12

key store files with a .p12 or .pfx extension. If your key

store has some other extension, you much change it to

.p12 or .pfx or you won’t be able to install it. When you

install a certificate from a PKCS#12 key store, Android also

installs any accompanying private key or certificate

authority certificates.

Install Client & CA Certificates

PRESTIGE Android Tablet Guide Book

To install a certificate from your tablet’s internal storage:

Copy the certificate or key store from your computer to

the root of your device’s internal storage (that is, not in a

folder).

Touch Settings > Personal > Security > Credential

storage > Install from storage.

Touch the filename of the certificate or keystore to install.

Only certificates that you haven’t already installed are

displayed. If prompted, enter the key store password and

touch OK. Enter a name for the certificate and touch OK.

Typically, a CA certificate included with a client certificate

is installed at the same time. You can also install separate

CA certificates using the same steps.

if you have not already set a pattern, PIN, or password for

your device, you’re prompted to set one up. The type of

lock that’s acceptable may be predetermined by your

system administrator.

You can now use the certificate that you installed when

connecting to a secure network or for client authentication

with email, Browser, and third-party apps. After a

certificate is installed successfully, the copy in storage is

deleted.

PRESTIGE Android Tablet Guide Book

Warning: Apps such as email and browser that support

certificates allow you to install certificates directly from

within the app. For details, see the Help or other instruc-

tions that come with each app.

Work with CA Certificates

If a certificate authority (CA) certificate gets compromised,

or for some other reason your organization doesn’t want

to trust it, you can disable or remove it. To do so, follow

these steps:

1. Touch Settings > Personal > Security > Credential

storage >Trusted credentials. The trusted credentials

screen has two tabs:

System displays certificate authority (CA) certificates that

are permanently installed in the RoM of your tablet.

User displays any CA certificates that you have installed

yourself, for example in the process of installing a client

certificate.

To examine the details of CA certificate, touch its name. A

scrolling screen displays the details.

PRESTIGE Android Tablet Guide Book

To remove or disable a CA certificate, scroll down to the

bottom of the details screen and touch either Disable for

system certificates or remove for user certificates.

When you disable a system CA certificate, the button at

the bottom of its details screen changes to Enable, so you

can enable the certificate again if necessary. When you

remove a user-installed CA certificate, it is gone

permanently and must be re-installed if you want it back.

In the confirmation dialog that appears, click OK.

Google Now & Search

About Google Now

You must be logged in to your Google account in order to

use this feature.

Google Now gives you just the right information at just the

right time. Swipe up from the bottom of your tablet to get

commute traffic before work, popular nearby places, your

favorite team’s current score, and more.

You can turn Google Now on or off at any time. Swipe up

the same way and touch Menu > Settings > Google Now.

If the keyboard’s covering the menu, touch the modified

Back button to lower it.

After you decide to start using Google Now, you don’t

need to do anything else. If you like, you can fine-tune

some settings, but Google Now doesn’t need any elaborate

setup. The information you need is always at your

fingertips.

To know when to display what information, Google Now

uses contextual data from your tablet and from other

PRESTIGE Android Tablet Guide Book

Google products, plus data from third-party products that

you allow Google Now to access.

For example, Google Now uses the time of day, your

current location, and your location history to show you

what the traffic on your commute is like when you wake

up in the morning. It also uses information from Google

services such as your Web History for sports or flight

updates, or from your synced calendar entries for

appointment reminders.

About Google Now cards

A Google Now card is a short snippet of useful information

that slides into view right when you’re most likely to need

it. For example, here’s a traffic card:

To see some sample cards from the main Google Now

screen, touch Menu > Sample cards. When you’re

finished and want to get back to the main Google Now

screen, touch Hide sample cards.

PRESTIGE Android Tablet Guide Book

In addition to the cards shown in the list of samples, you

may also see a Public Alerts card.

Public Alerts provide emergency information from sources

such as the National Weather Service and the U.S.

Geological Survey. Coverage is currently provided by a

limited number of key partners, only in the United States

(excepting U.S. Geological Survey earthquake alerts).

Google can’t guarantee that you’ll see every relevant alert.

However, Google Now attempts to show you what’s

important when you need it, in the hope that such alerts

are a useful additional source of information. To learn

more, visit support.google.com/publicalerts.

About location access, reporting, & history

Location access settings determine whether your tablet

can use your current location. When location access is

turned on, apps can use it to give you more relevant

information, such as nearby restaurants or commute

traffic.

To turn off location access for all apps, go to Settings >

Personal > Location access. If you prefer, you can turn off

location access by Google apps while still permitting its use

by non-Google apps – just go to Settings > Accounts >

Google > Location settings.

PRESTIGE Android Tablet Guide Book

Location reporting refers your tablet’s ability to report

your current location for the purpose of recording your

location history.

Location history refers to your tablet’s ability to store your

past locations, including home and work.

When you decide to use Google Now, you’ll start reporting

your location and turn on your location history. Google

won’t share this information with other users or marketers

without your permission.

If you opted in to location history in the past, Google Now

uses your previously recorded locations as well as ongoing

locations when making suggestions. Turning off location

history pauses the collection of location information, but

doesn’t delete your history. To manage or delete your

location details, visit google.com/locationhistory.

Along with location history, Google Now uses your tablet’s

location access service, which must also be turned on for

Google Now to work. To manage this setting, go to

Settings > Personal > Location access.

For more details, see “Control location access, reporting, &

history.”

PRESTIGE Android Tablet Guide Book

About Web History & other data

Google Now uses data from multiple sources to help

predict what you need. For example, if you have a synced

calendar entry for a dentist appointment, Google Now can

check traffic and suggest when to leave. And if you have

relevant searches saved in your Web History, such as for

your favorite sports team or for upcoming flights, Google

Now can also show cards for sports scores, flight status,

and more.

To manage your Web History, visit google.com/history.

You can delete or pause your Web History and still use

Google Now, but certain kinds of information, such as

flight details, won’t show up.

About Gmail Cards

Gmail cards are based on confirmation messages sent to

the Gmail account you’ve selected for use with Google

Now. For example, cards appear before restaurant

reservations you’ve made with OpenTable or when you

receive email updates for packages in transit.

Gmail cards typically include links to other useful

information, such as a link to the email on which the card

is based, or directions to a restaurant or hotel from your

current location.

PRESTIGE Android Tablet Guide Book

You can turn Gmail cards off or on from the main Google

Now screen:

All Gmail cards at once. Go to Menu > Settings > Google

Now and touch the On/Off switch for Gmail cards.

Individual Gmail cards. Go to Menu > Settings > Google

Now > Gmail and check or uncheck each card.

About the Activity summary card

The Activity summary card appears once a month. It

provides a very rough approximation of how far you’ve

walked or cycled during that month compared to the

previous one. These estimates are based on occasional

samples of the accelerometer in your tablet, which are

then compared to typical movements involved in walking

or cycling.

This information isn’t available unless you’ve turned on

location reporting and history for at least one of your

Android devices. If you’ve turned these on for more than

one device, the Activity summary card reflects the one you

used most often that month.

About the Stocks card

The Stocks card displays stocks that:

• You’ve searched on recently.

PRESTIGE Android Tablet Guide Book

• You’re tracking through Google Finance.

• You’ve explicitly listed in the Stocks card settings.

You can choose whether to display stocks when their price

changes by 1% or more, or in the mornings or evenings.

To change the stocks displayed by the stocks card, do one

of the following:

• When the Stocks card is displayed, touch the

Info icon to modify your existing stock list or add

new stocks.

• Go to Menu > Settings > My Stuff > Stocks. Then

touch the stock you want to remove, or Add stock

to add a new one.

About the Research topics card

The Research topics card appears when your recent Web

History includes several searches related to a single topic –

such as a trip you’re planning – and Google detects

relevant webpages that you may not have found yet. For

this card to appear, you must have Web History turned on

for the account you use with Google Now.

To explore more links that may be relevant to the topic,

touch Explore at the bottom of the card. From the list of

links, touch the History tab to view a summary of your

recent Web History related to this topic.
