Turning on for the first time
To turn on your tablet, press and hold the power button until the tablet vibrates. Wait
a moment for your tablet to bootup. You will then be asked some questions before
you can use your tablet.
To start, tap to select your language and country, then tap
Start
. Follow the rest of
the instructions as they are displayed.
Note:
If the tablet’s screen turns off, it has entered sleep mode. Briefly press the
power button to wake it up. For more information, see "Waking your tablet" on
page 20
Sign in to or create a Google account
If you have Internet access, your tablet allows you to synchronize information with a
Google account.
During the start-up process, you may create or sign in to an account, which will be
used to synchronize your contact list, email, calendar and other information. If you
do not yet have Internet access, or do not want to use this feature, then tap
Skip
.
Important:
You must sign in to a Google Account to use Gmail, Google Talk,
Google Calendar, and other Google Apps; to download applications from Google
Play; to back up your settings to Google servers; and to take advantage of other
Google services on your tablet.
If you want to restore existing settings from another device with Android 2.0 (or
later) installed, you must sign in to your Google account during setup. If you wait
until after setup is complete, your settings will not be restored.
Note:
If you have multiple Google accounts, such as separate accounts for
personal and business contacts, you can access and synchonize them from the
Accounts settings section. See "Multiple Google accounts" on page 41.
