Starting Android the rst time

When you rst turn on your tablet, you have the opportunity to activate your mobile data service, to sign into your

Google Account, and to decide how you want to use some Google services.

Welcome to Android!

The rst time you power on your tablet you’re welcomed to Android and invited to pick a language to work in and to

start setting up and using your tablet.

Touch

●English if you want to work in a dierent language.

Touch

●Start to start setting up your tablet.

Touch Start.

Touch to use a dierent language.

Starting Android the rst time

Activating your mobile data service

On some mobile data networks, you must activate mobile data service on your tablet before you can use it to connect

to the Internet. As soon as you touch Start on the Welcome! screen, your tablet starts the activation process.

If your mobile network doesn’t require activation, or if your tablet only connects to Wi-Fi networks, it skips this step and

prompts you to connect to a Wi-Fi network instead (see“Connecting to Wi-Fi networks”on page 51).

Then you can use that mobile data network Internet connection to sign into your Google Account and nish setting up

your tablet.

If you prefer not to activate you mobile data service now or if you are setting up your tablet in a location without access

to your carrier’s mobile network, you can touch Skip to set up your tablet using Wi-Fi instead: you’re prompted to

connect to a local Wi-Fi network. See “Connecting to Wi-Fi networks” on page 51.

You can activate your mobile data service later using the Settings app; see“Wireless & networks settings”on page 91.

Setting your location preferences

Google’s location service uses the Wi-Fi and mobile data networks near you to make your approximate location

available to your apps. This location information can make nding your precise location by GPS much faster; it can also

provide your location to apps when GPS isn’t available.

When you use Google’s location service, Google collects data about your location and local networks, without

associating the information it gathers with you or your Google Account, to improve the service.

You can also choose whether to use your location in your Google Search results and other Google services.

You can change these settings after setup; see “Location and security settings”on page 96.

Starting Android the rst time

Signing into your Google Account

You must sign into a Google Account to use Google Mail, Google Talk, and other Google Apps; to download apps from

Android Market; to back up your settings and other data to Google servers; and to take advantage of other Google

services on your tablet.

If you have backed up your Android settings using a Google Account in the past and you want to restore those

settings to your tablet, you must sign into that account now, during setup: If you sign in after setup, you can’t

restore your settings.

If you don’t have a Google Account, you can also create one.

When you sign in, you’re prompted to enter your username and password, using the onscreen keyboard. For

information about navigating the touchscreen and entering text, see“Using the touchscreen” on page 13 and “Entering

and editing text”on page 39.

If you have an enterprise Google Mail account through your company or other organization, your IT department may

have special instructions on how to sign into that account.

When you sign in, your contacts, Google Mail messages, Calendar events, and other information from these apps and

services on the web are synchronized with your tablet.

If you don’t sign into a Google Account during setup, you are prompted to sign in or to create a Google Account the rst

time you start an app that requires one, such as Google Mail or Android Market.

Resetting your Google Account password

If you have a Google Account but forget your password, you must reset it before you can sign in.

Go to www.google.com, click Sign In, click “Can’t access your account?” in the sign-in box, and then follow the

instructions for resetting your password.

›

Additional accounts

After setup, you can add Google and other kinds of accounts to your tablet, and sync some or all of their data, as

described in “Accounts” on page 79. However, only the rst Google Account you sign into is backed up to Google

servers. Some apps that only work with a single account display data only from the rst account that you sign into.

Backing up and restoring your data

You can back up your settings and other data with your Google Account, so if you ever replace your tablet, you can

restore your data on the new one. If you choose to use this service, your data is backed up automatically.

If you previously used the backup service with the Google Account you just used to sign in, you can also choose to

restore your settings from your Google Account to your tablet now.

If you want to restore your settings, you must do that now during setup. You can’t restore data after setup is

complete.
