Setting a PIN or password
You can set a pin code (4-8 digit numerical code) or you can set a password which is 4
to 17 digits. We recommend you set a password, the longer and more complex it is the
harder it is to break. For the best passwords use a mixture of upper and lower case letters,
numbers and special characters such as %, # and *. In ‘Settings’, select ‘Security’, then
‘screen lock’, then select PIN or Password.
Encryption
In order to protect your personal data on this tablet, in the event of the device
being stolen, you can encrypt your tablet. Go to settings - Security - Encrypt
tablet. Make sure to follow correctly the onscreen instructions.
Please note that your tablet cannot be decrypted by the same process. To decrypt you
must return the tablet to factory settings which will erase all of your files and downloaded
apps (securely). To reset to factory defaults go to ‘Settings’, select ‘Backup and Reset’ then
‘Factory data reset’.
Erasing your personal data
If you sell your tablet on, or discard it you should erase the data in memory, before you do
so, using a file eraser program that actively writes to every record in the memory.
If you require any technical guidance or find that your product is not operating as intended, a simple solution can often be found in the

This securely erases your data so that it cannot be recovered. Please note that simply
returning your tablet to factory settings is not a reliable way of erasing your personal data
(unless you have first encrypted your data). To download a file eraser go to Google Play

the app and follow instructions to securely erase your data.

Environmental Considerations
Protection of the environment is an important concern to Bush. In order to put
this concern into tangible actions, Bush has consciously included a set of
methods that favour a respect for the environment into the entire cycle of its
products; from fabrication to consumer usage, to final disposal.
Batteries : If your product contains a detachable battery pack, you should only
dispose of it in a designated collection point for used batteries.
The Product : The crossed-out wheelie bin symbol on your product signifies that it
falls into the category of electric/electronic equipment. Products of this type contain
substances that are potentially dangerous to the environment and to human health.
Therefore, you should not dispose of the Bush electronic device in a regular trash. As such,
the current European directives ask that this device be collected:
At places of distribution in the case of a purchase of a similar electronic product.
At locally created disposal areas (waste disposal centres, sorted trash system, etc.)
By doing this, you are actively participating in the reuse and recycling of disposed
electronic and electric equipment that could have potential effects on the environment
and human health.
