Getting Started
Managing your accounts
Using Sleep mode
Your device will automatically time-out after a couple
minutes of non-operation, placing it into Sleep mode.
The screen dims and then darkens to conserve battery
power. For more information on waking the tablet from Sleep
mode, see
“Waking the tablet” on page 40
. To change the
amount of time it takes for the display to darken, touch the
Settings
(
) icon, and then the
Display
(
) icon.
Increase battery life between charges by using the
shortest available time-out setting. See
.
You can also place your tablet into Sleep mode by pressing
the Power button quickly.
Factors to consider when choosing Sleep mode:
❖
While in Sleep mode, the device uses some battery
power.
❖
Because the state of the system is stored in memory,
you will lose data if the battery discharges completely
while the device is in Sleep mode.
❖
Waking your device from Sleep mode takes less time
and consumes less battery power than restarting after
shutting down the device.
❖
When starting up again, the device returns to the screen
last viewed.
If you place the device in Sleep mode and the battery
discharges fully, your unsaved data will be lost. Be sure
to backup your data first.
Managing your accounts
Using the Accounts settings, you can configure the ways in
which your account interacts with the applications on your
tablet, and you can sync contacts, email, calendar events,
etc. from your multiple Google™ Accounts.
