When you charge your phone . . . . . . . . . . .

When you plug in your phone to charge it, make it a habit to charge your tablet as well.

Your tablet should be charged each and every night.

TABLET vs. HOME COMPUTER

TAKE OWNERSHIP FOR THE USE OF YOUR TABLET - DON'T RESORT to USING YOUR HOME COMPUTER.  

This is not helping you in the long run - it is just making the confusion you feel when you use your Android last longer.  

The sooner you take ownership for learning how to use your Tablet (NO ONE CAN DO THIS FOR YOU) the sooner you will LOVE taking notes and doing work on your TABLET.


TO do this, watch online videos (youtube) about how to store and use files, search youtube for android file managers and surf around to find what the latest trends are in using tablets and how to make them more effective.

If you run into a problem with your android, search google.com for a solution (simply type the problem you are having into a google search) - chances are someone else has had that problem and people post workarounds often.  These tablets are not a comprimise - Carmel has purchased a wonderful device for you.  If you take the time to learn it, you will enjoy it.

Update your tablet software

Doing this will make your tablet work better and faster  :)





You will need to be connected to a wireless network; it will require 30 minutes and a charger in order to download the update.

- Go into settings.
- Scroll down and click on About Tablet.
- Click on System Update.

If your tablet requires an update, it will download it automatically.

Once your tablet downloads the file, a prompt should appear to select Install and Restart Now. If it does not appear, simply select System Update again and it will allow you to select Install and Restart Now.  This process WILL NOT erase anything on your tablet.

If your tablet does not require an update, a pop-up box will appear telling you so.

Please keep the tablet plugged in throughout the updating process.

Please do not use the tablet USB cable charger for other devices



Although the charger is the similar to those used for other devices, not all devices use both prongs on top of your USB cable charger like the tablets require.

Other devices will wear down the USB cable charger and it will become useless for the tablet. 

Inserting a USB cable charger with worn prongs into the tablets causes additional wear and tear to the internal port and will result in a worn down charging port which damages the tablet.

Please use a dedicated tablet charger for best results.
