Introduction

Please read this Quick Start Guide carefully to help you get the most out of your

@Tab. For information on how to use this @Tab and its Android operating system, which is not covered by this Quick Start Guide, please refer to the Manual.

Your new @Tab is a great way to experience the web, and access all your media using the latest Google™ Android™ Jelly Bean Operating System with its

3 Steps to Setting Up Your @Tab

① Charging Your @Tab

Before using your @Tab for the first time please ensure that it has been charged by plugging in the 5V power adapter provided and charging it for at least one hour.

This @Tab can also be charged via a USB cable connected to a PC or other USB charging source.

Please be aware that the connector for the power adapter supplied with this @Tab may have a small gap between the connector and the body of the tablet. Exerting force on this connector can cause damage to the tablet and / or the connector and this will invalidate the warranty of the tablet.

When charging, ensure that the tablet is placed in a safe place when left to charge, so that the cable for the adapter cannot be tripped on.

Note: Never allow the battery to become completely discharged and the @Tab to be unused for a period of time because the battery can become unresponsive if left in this state.

When your battery charge is low, the device will emit a warning tone and display a low battery message. The battery icon will also be empty. If the battery charge becomes too low, the @Tab will automatically power off. Recharge your battery to continue using your device.

Charging via the power adapter

1. Connect the power adapter to the Power-in socket.

2. Plug the power adapter into a power outlet.

Charging via USB

1. Connect the USB cable to the micro USB socket.

2. Plug the USB cable into a USB power source (power adapter, PC, Laptop etc.).

If the @Tab is turned off, when plugged into a charger, the charging symbol will show in the middle of the screen for a few seconds. If the @Tab is on, the battery symbol in the bottom right hand corner of the desktop will show a charging

(lightning) symbol

Note: If you run completely out of battery power, you will lose your time and date settings.

② Turning Your @Tab On

Once you have charged the battery you can turn the @Tab on, by pressing and holding the power button for 3 - 5 seconds until the @Tab starts to boot. Once it has finished booting, the lock screen will be shown.

To unlock the @Tab, drag the “locked” symbol to the right by touching the screen, until it becomes an “unlocked” symbol.

The screen will automatically lock after 10 minutes of non-use when the @Tab enters sleep mode. You can change the length of this time period in the Settings menu, for more information see Chapter 8.4 of the manual.

For more information about the applications and widgets see Chapter 9 of the manual.

Files and Folders

To browse your files and folders touch the File Manager icon on the home screen. When File Manager opens it will show all the main storage locations.

Storage & Expansion

You can expand the @Tab’s 16GB of internal storage using the micro SD Card

Slot. Capacities up to 32GB are supported allowing you to store your favourite music, movies and photos.

Insert the card with the metallic connectors facing the front of the @Tab, until you feel a click which will lock the card into place. To remove the card, push the card gently inwards until you hear a click and then it will pop out.

You can navigate through folders just by touching them and select files by also touching them.

To access a micro SD card, touch the menu option.

To access an external USB storage device touch the menu option.

To copy and paste files from one folder to another, tap and hold the original file until a menu appears with file options to Delete, Rename, Copy, Move(Cut) , Email or send by Bluetooth . Tap Copy File to create a duplicate of the file or Move(Cut) to move the original file to a new location. You can then navigate to the destination folder where you want to copy the file.

New Directory option and use the virtual keyboard to type the folder name.

To access Pictures and Movies taken with the built-in camera, touch the DCIM folder and then the Camera folder.

There are Music and Movies folders already created to store your media files in.

Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows accessories like Headsets, Keyboards etc. to be connected to the @Tab without using cables. To connect to a Bluetooth device, the @Tab will need to be paired with it, which sets up a connection that will be remembered by both devices.

To access Bluetooth settings, you will need to access the settings menu. Tap the

Applications Launcher icon at the bottom of the home screen. Tap on the

Settings icon from the Application launcher page.

Tap on the Bluetooth menu option on the left hand side menu.

Freeing up Storage Space

Your @Tabs storage is split into two parts, the Internal Storage where Android and any Apps you download are installed and the NAND Flash where pictures, music and movies are stored.

If you download a lot of Apps, you may get to a point where you see a Storage space running out message. This means that the Internal Storage is almost full and this may cause issues with downloading new Apps or updates to existing Apps.

To resolve this situation you can move Apps from the Internal Storage to either the

NAND Flash or to an external microSD Card which has been inserted into the tablet.

To move Apps between storage locations, you will need to access the settings menu. Tap the Applications Launcher icon at the bottom of the home screen. Tap on the Settings icon from the Application page.

On the left hand side menu options scroll down by sliding your finger upwards until you can see the Apps option, then tap on this.

Select an App from the list (the example to the right shows Netflix).

Tap on the Move to SD card option .

The app will take a short period of time to move over and you will be informed once the operation has been completed.

The total size of the app on the Internal storage will have reduced greatly and storage space will have been freed up.

Note: Only Apps which have been installed by you can be moved in this way and some Apps may not be able to be moved because they must reside on internal storage.

Battery Life

To increase the battery life of your @Tab, there are a few things you can do:

Use the Power Control Widget which can be found on the home screen to the left of the main home screen (swipe your finger from left to right to switch to this screen).

This widget allows the functions that drain the most battery on the @Tab to be controlled including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Sync, and screen Brightness.

We highly recommend turning off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Sync when they are not being used. You can also manage the screen Brightness using this widget. Disabling

Wi-Fi is ideal when watching pre-recorded movies, reading eBooks and is especially useful when playing games, because it will disable in-game adds.

Alternatively you can use the pre-installed app JuiceDefender to optimise battery consumption by automatically managing the most power-draining components of your @Tab, so that they are used only when needed, rather than left running all the time for no particular purpose. So if your @Tab is not being used, it will turn off unused functionality and make the processor idle to conserve the battery.

To enable Bluetooth:

1.

Slide the switch to the right, into the On position.

2.

Once Bluetooth has been turned on, the @Tab will automatically scan for available Bluetooth devices and display the names of those it finds.

3.

Find the device you want to connect to and select it by touching the entry.

Some Bluetooth devices require a four digit pairing code to be entered to allow the connection to complete. If this is the case, a window will popup allowing the code to be entered. You should refer to the instructions that came with the device for this pairing code, but the most common codes are

0000 or 1234.

The device should now be paired and will start to work with the @Tab.

To use JuiceDefender, open the app from the Applications Launcher and set it to enabled. More information about this app is available from the help section tab.

Another way of freeing up storage space on your @Tab is to use the pre-installed app App Cache Cleaner, which can be found on from the Applications page .

This is a quick tool for clearing application cached files. Over time these files can increase in size and take up a large part of your @Tabs storage

Open the app and tap on the Clear all button to remove all uneccessary cache files.

Performance

As with any advanced Operating System, Android performance can deteriorate over time, if the device is not restarted fairly regularly. There are some things you can do to keep your @Tab running as fast as possible without restarting it.

If you ever find your @Tab is running slowly, it will probably be because of applications which have not been closed properly and are still running in the background. Most applications will close correctly if you use the back option to exit out of the application and select yes when it asks if you want to close the app

(just keep pressing the Back button until you get to this option).

If an application doesn’t close properly or any time your @Tab seems to be running slowly, run Advanced Task Killer from within the Application launcher.

Tap the Applications Launcher icon at the bottom of the home screen. Tap on the Advance Task Killer icon.

When Advanced Task Killer runs, it will show a list of all the currently open applications. You can kill any application by making sure it has a green tick to the right of it in the list and then clicking on the Kill selected apps button at the top of the screen.

Security

The Security option allows you to setup how secure you want your @Tab to be.

You may want to set some form of automatic screen lock to prevent unauthorized access. If a screen lock has been set, the screen locks when your tablet's display goes to sleep.

To access security settings, you will need to access the settings menu. Tap the

Applications Launcher icon at the bottom of the home screen. Tap on the

Settings icon from Application page.

On the left hand side menu options scroll down by sliding your finger upwards until you can see the Security option, and then tap on this.

To adjust your tablet's lock settings:

1.

Touch Screen lock.

2.

Touch the type of lock you want and follow the onscreen instructions.

If you have previously set a lock, you must enter the pattern, PIN, or password to unlock the lock settings before you can make any changes.

You can choose among these lock options, listed in approximate order of strength:

Slide Provides no protection, but lets you get to the Home screen quickly, or open Camera and start taking pictures immediately.

This is the default setting.

Pattern

PIN

Password

Let’s you draw a simple pattern with your finger to unlock the tablet.

Requires four or more numbers. Longer PINs tend to be more secure.

Requires four or more letters or numbers. This is the most secure option, as long as you create a strong password.

Note If you forget your Pattern / PIN / Password, the only way to gain access to the device is via a factory reset. Please follow the procedure outlined in the

Troubleshooting Guide which was supplied with this @Tab.

If you have misplaced the Troubleshooting Guide, a copy can be downloaded from the @Tab website www.theattab.com. For more help please contact our Support
