Sign in to or create a Google account

If you have Internet access, your tablet allows you to synchronize information with a Google account.

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, Hangouts, Google Calendar, and other Google Apps; download apps from Google Play; to back up your settings to Google servers; and 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.

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 44.

Assembling the power adapter

Your tablet is bundled with one of two types of USB power adapters: a fixed-prong type or a removable-prong type. Both types are described in this manual.

The Home screen

When you start your tablet, or wake it from power saving, it will display the Home screen. This screen gives you quick access to information and simple controls with widgets or shortcuts to APPs. Widgets display information such as the time and weather, or provide additional controls and direct access to APPs. Some have been preinstalled on your tablet, while others may be downloaded from Google Play.

The Home screen already features some useful controls and information.

In order to search or browse the internet, you must be connected to a wireless network. See Going online on page 22. You can also choose what Google Search searches for.

Personalizing the Home screen

You may personalize your Home screen by adding or removing application shortcuts or widgets, and by changing the wallpaper.

Adding or removing shortcuts or widgets

To add shortcuts or widgets, tap the APP menu icon in the bottomcenter of the Home screen. The APP menu contains a list of shortcuts to APPs you can drag to a Home screen.

Widgets are small APPs that display constantly-updated information or quick shortcuts to APPs or special functions.

The word list changes after every key press. If the word you need is displayed, you can tap on it to insert it into your text.

To turn predictive text on or off with the Google keyboard, tap the Gear icon, and then Google keyboard settings. Tap Auto correction or Show correction suggestions and select one of the options.

Editing text

You can select and edit text in certain APPs, such as text you have entered in a text field. Selected text can be cut or copied and later pasted within the same application, or to a different application.

Note

Certain APPs may not support text selection, or only support it in certain areas. Other APPs may offer specialized commands to select text.

Selecting text

To select text that you want to cut, copy, delete or replace:

1. Tap the text you want to select. If you can select this text, a cursor is inserted below the text.

3. Modify the text by typing or deleting text or tapping the PASTE button.
