How to set up your tablet

The tablet is positioned as a convenient window that provides connection to the Internet. But to carry out the tasks, it must first be configured correctly.

When your tablet needs tweaking

The tablet must be configured whenever the user's preferences require it.

• Mostly this happens directly immediately after purchase. The standard settings do not contain radical changes, but most likely they will not meet the user's requirements.
• You will also need to configure the gadget again at the moment when some system failure occurred and I had to return the device to factory settingsto start over with a clean slate.
• The parameter settings menu is always available. And if suddenly the user's preferences have changed, then he can immediately make changes to the system or alert interface. Often, installation and operation of applications will be sensitive to edits, and after resetting the settings you will have to change something.

It is impossible to predict when the need to edit settings will arise, so you must always be prepared for this.

Immediately after purchasing a tablet computer, you will need to charge the device. Some manufacturers do not ensure that gadgets are charged before sale. But even if the device was charged, it is unknown how long it sat on the counter.

Charging is done as follows.

• Connect an adapter with a plug to it (in older versions the adapter is inseparably connected to the wire).
• Use it to connect the device and the outlet.

While the tablet is charging, it is recommended read the operating instructions. It will not contain step-by-step instructions for setting up the tablet and preparing it for use. But there you can find the basic concepts that are simply necessary to understand the properties of the gadget.

ATTENTION! Using your tablet while plugged in for an extended period of time can reduce the overall battery capacity.

It is recommended to disconnect the cord from the outlet before use. If you abuse this treatment, the tablet will soon become “tied to the outlet.”

Settings

The settings menu can be found by touching the six-pack image on the main screen with your finger. The required section is indicated by gears or a wrench (with the name "Settings" or Settigs). Depending on the manufacturer, settings may be divided into sections, or presented as a single list.In both cases, problems with orientation should not arise. The step-by-step initial setup of the gadget includes the following steps.

Language selection

As practice shows, geographic location does not matter. You just need to choose something close to the present moment. And after that, additionally set everything exactly to the minute.

The system will also offer here the time display format: 12 or 24 hour, display location and appearance of the clock. This section is important for working on the Internet.

IMPORTANT! The browser will not display query results if the device is set to the wrong date and time.

Setting up Google Account
