1 Getting Started

1.1 Welcome

Thank you for choosing HUAWEI MediaPad as your daily life assistant and partner.

Your HUAWEI MediaPad is a smart tablet that delivers high quality images, audio and

video, and convenient network and information services.

The figures in this guide are provided for your reference only. The appearance

and display features may vary slightly depending on the actual product version.

1.3 Installing microSD Card

Do not remove the cover for the main camera.

1. Remove the back cover.

2. Install the microSD card.

3. Replace the back cover.

1.4 Switching Your HUAWEI MediaPad On or Off

Press and hold the Power button until your HUAWEI MediaPad vibrates to switch on your

HUAWEI MediaPad. The first time you switch on the tablet, complete the setup by following

the on-screen instructions.

To switch off your HUAWEI MediaPad, press and hold the Power button until the screen

displays a dialog box, and then touch

Power off

in the dialog box.

When the HUAWEI MediaPad is switched on or malfunctions, press and hold the

Power button for 10 seconds. After release, press and hold the Power button

again until your HUAWEI MediaPad vibrates, indicating that it is restarting.

1.5 Charging the Battery

Before charging, install the magnetic ring according to the installation diagram

attached to the power cable.

To charge the HUAWEI MediaPad's battery, connect the charger to the charger port and

plug the charger into a power outlet, as shown in the following figure.

1.6 Important Information About the Battery

When charging the battery for the first time, charge it for at least 6 hours to ensure

that your HUAWEI MediaPad displays the battery information correctly.

If the battery has not been used for a long time or the battery power is exhausted,

you may not be able to power on your tablet immediately after you begin charging

the battery. This is normal. Allow the battery to charge for a few minutes with the

tablet powered off before attempting to power it on.

Using data services increases the power consumption of the tablet and will

therefore reduce the length of time that the tablet can be used between battery

charges.

The time required to fully charge the battery depends on the ambient temperature

and the age of the battery.

When the battery power is low, your HUAWEI MediaPad will alert you and display a

message. When the battery power is almost exhausted, your HUAWEI MediaPad

will power off automatically.

1.7 Power-Saving Tips

When your HUAWEI MediaPad is not in use, turn off the screen backlight.

Reduce the time it takes for the screen backlight to turn off when your tablet is idle.

Lower the screen brightness.

Decrease the volume.

Turn off Bluetooth when you are not using it.

Turn off Wi-Fi when you are not using it.

Turn off your tablet’s GPS receiver when you are not using it.

1.8 Touchscreen Actions

On the touchscreen, you can use your finger to operate the applications and screen

elements conveniently. Your HUAWEI MediaPad supports the following actions.

Action Description

Touch

Tap applications or other elements with your finger to open or select

them. For example, touch the on-screen keyboard to enter letters,

numbers and symbols.
