Protecting your tablet with encryption

You can encrypt all the data on your tablet: Google accounts, application data, music and other media, downloaded information, and more. If you do, you must enter a numeric PIN or password each time you power on your tablet.

WARNING! Encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert to an unencrypted tablet is to perform a factory data reset, which erases all your data.

Encryption provides additional protection in case your tablet is stolen, and may be required or recommended in some organizations. Consult your system administrator before turning it on. In many cases the PIN or password you set for encryption is controlled by the system administrator.

Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:

1. Set a lock screen PIN or password.
2. Charge the battery.
3. Keep the tablet connected to the charger.
4. Schedule an hour or more for the encryption process. You must not interrupt it or you will lose some or all of your data.

When you're ready to turn on encryption:

1. From the home screen, tap ⚙ > Settings > Security > Encrypt tablet.
2. Read the information about encryption carefully. The Encrypt tablet button is dimmed if your battery is not charged or your tablet is not plugged in. If you change your mind about encrypting your tablet, tap

WARNING! If you interrupt the encryption process, you will lose data.

3. Tap Encrypt tablet.

1. Enter your lock screen PIN or password and tap Continue.

5. Tap Encrypt tablet again.

The encryption process will start and display its progress. Encryption can take an hour or more, during which time your tablet may restart several times.

When encryption is completed, you will be prompted to enter your PIN or password.

Subsequently, you must enter your PIN or password each time you power on your tablet to decrypt it.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter problems while using the tablet, or if it performs abnormally, you can refer to the chart below. If your particular problem cannot be resolved using the information in the chart, contact the dealer where you purchased the tablet.

Problem Possible causes Possible solution
Poor reception	The network signal is too weak at your current location, for example, in a basement or near a tall building, because wireless transmissions cannot effectively reach it.	Move to a location where the network signal can be properly received.
	The network is busy at the current time (for example, during peak times, there may be too much network traffic to handle additional devices).	Avoid using the tablet at such times, or try again after waiting a short time.
	You are too far away from a base station for your service provider.	You can request a service area map from your service provider.
Echo or noise	Poor network link quality on the part of your service provider.	End the voice chat and connect again. You may be switched to a better-quality network link.
Unable to select certain features	Your service provider does not support these features, or you have not applied for services that provide these features.	Contact your service provider.
Battery not charging	The battery or battery charger is damaged.	Contact the dealer.
	The tablet's temperature is below 32°F (0°C) or higher than 113°F (45°C).	Adjust the battery-charging environment to avoid extremes of temperature.
	Poor contact between the battery and charger.	Check all connectors to make sure all connections have been properly made.
Poor battery life	The standby time is related to your service provider system configuration. The same tablet used with different service providers' systems will not provide exactly the same length of standby time.	If you are located in an area where signaling is weak, temporarily power off the tablet.Decreasing your display's brightness, turning off GPS, Bluetooth, and/or Wi-Fi may also improve battery life.
	The battery is depleted. In high temperature environments, battery life will be shortened.	Recharge the tablet's battery.

Problem Possible causes Possible solution
Poor battery life	If you are not able to connect to the network, the tablet will continue to send out signals as it attempts to locate a base station. Doing so consumes battery power and will consequently shorten standby time.	Change your location to one where the network is accessible, or temporarily turn off your tablet.
Cannot turn your tablet on	Battery power has been depleted.	Recharge the tablet's battery.
SIM card error	SIM card is malfunctioning or damaged.	Take the SIM card to your service provider for testing.
	SIM card inserted improperly. Insert the SIM card properly.
	Debris on the SIM card contacts.	Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the SIM card contacts.
Unable to connect to the network	SIM card invalid. Contact your service provider.
	You are not within the network's service area.	Check the service area with your service provider.
	Poor signal. Move to an open space, or if you are inside a building, move closer to a window.
PIN code blocked	You have entered an incorrect PIN code three consecutive times.	Contact your service provider. If the service provider provides the SIM card's PUK code, use the PUK code to unlock the SIM card.
Unable to enter information into the tablet	The tablet's memory is already full.	Delete unnecessary data from the tablet.
Tablet crashes, reboots, freezes, or cannot be powered on	Some third-party software is not compatible with your tablet.	Reset the tablet to factory status.Enter safety mode and uninstall the software that may be causing the problem.Upgrade the tablet software.

114 FOR YOUR SAFETY 115 FOR YOUR SAFETY

Radio frequency interference

General statement on interference

Care must be taken when using the tablet in close proximity to personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids.

Pacemakers

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 6 inches (15 cm) be maintained between a tablet and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. To achieve this, use the tablet on the opposite ear to your pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.

Hearing aids

People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experience interfering noises when using wireless devices or when one is nearby. The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing device and the distance from the interference source. Increasing the separation between them may reduce the interference. You may also consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Medical devices

Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to determine if operation of your tablet may interfere with the operation of your medical device.

Hospitals

Turn off your wireless device when requested to do so in hospitals, clinics, or health care facilities. These requests are designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive medical equipment.

Aircraft

Turn off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do so by airport or airline staff. Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices onboard the aircraft. If your device offers a "flight mode," this must be enabled prior to boarding an aircraft.

Interference in cars

Please note that because of possible interference with electronic equipment, some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of tablets in their vehicles unless a hands-free kit with an external antenna is included in the installation.

Explosive environments

Gas stations and explosive atmospheres

In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all posted signs to turn off wireless devices such as your tablet or other radio equipment. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fueling areas, below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.

Blasting caps and areas

Power off your tablet or wireless device when in a blasting area or in areas posted with notices to power off "two-way radios" or "electronic devices" to avoid interfering with blasting operations.

FCC compliance

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Radio frequency (RF) energy

Your tablet is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organization ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this device when tested at the ear was 1.438 W/kg*. As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in other positions, such as on the body as described in this user guide**.

As SAR is measured utilizing the device's highest transmitting power, the actual SAR of this device while operating is typically below that indicated above. This is due to automatic changes to the power level of the device to ensure it only uses the minimum power required to communicate with the network.

* The tests are carried out in accordance with EN 50360, EN 62311, EN 62209-1, EN 62209-2.
