into your tablet with a Google Account, all the
contacts you associate with that account in
the People app are automatically backed up.
They’re always accessible through your Google
Account from any computer or mobile device.
 Keep your stuff secure and available. Google
works around the clock to protect your personal
data from unauthorized access and to ensure
that you get it when you need it, wherever you
need it.
 Synchronize and back up all your data. Whether
you draft an email, add a contact, add an event
to your calendar, or take a photo, your work
gets backed up continuously by Google and
synchronized with any computer where you use
the same Google Account.
 Use other Google services. Your Google
Account also lets you take full advantage of
any other Google apps and services that you
may want to use, such as Gmail, Google Maps
Navigation, Google Play, YouTube, Google+, and
many more.

This device 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
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
* Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
* Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
* Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
* Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.

The exposure standard for wireless device employs a unit of
SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. *Tests for SAR are conducted
using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the
frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest
cert d power level, the actual SAR level of the device while
operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because
the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to
use only the poser required to reach the network. In general, the
closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the
power output.
