First Use

Charging the Battery
The TM9S775 has a built-in battery that may not be fully charged on first use. It is highly
recommended to fully charge the battery upon first use. Included in the package is an
AC power adaptor to connect to AC power outlet as well as a USB cable to connect to a
powered PC. Both methods can be used to recharge the internal battery. But recharging
via AC power will take less time than recharging via USB. The tablet will indicate that it in
operating a low power condition and that it needs recharging (occurs at about 10-15%
power). It takes approximately five hours to recharge the battery via AC power or longer via
USB. And it is normal for the tablet to feel warmer during recharging.
IMPORTANT: Close Apps that are not in use to avoid excessive battery drain.

Connecting to the Internet
1010
The TM9S775 utilizes Wi-Fi networks to connect to the internet. Distance from your router may
be affected by your surrounding environment and other factors.
In order to connect to the internet, you will need the following:
• A wireless router - must support Wi-Fi 802.11b/g connections. If the router supports 802.11n,
make sure that it has been configured to accept 802.00b/g connections as well. Note: A
minimum connection speed of 128 Kbps is recommended. Faster speeds will provide for a
better internet experience.
• An access point with a broadband internet connection
• The name of your network (SSID), as well as the password or other credentials if your
network is secure. Make sure your Firewalls are not blocking your tablet from connecting
properly. You may encounter open Wi-Fi networks or “hot spots.” These networks are
usually configured so that you can simply connect to them without needing to know
its settings. The tablet will obtain all needed information from the router automatically.
Typically, you only need to set this one time and the tablet will remember it in the future.
To connect the Wi-Fi, follow these steps:
• Go to Settings > Wireless & Networks > Wi-Fi.
• Change the Wi-Fi setting from OFF to ON by sliding the switch to the right. The tablet will
scan for available Wi-Fi networks within range of your current location. Secured networks
will have a Lock icon shown next to the wireless symbol.
• Touch the name of the network and then enter a password if required. Once you have
successfully entered the wireless network information and have connected, the tablet
will remember your settings in the future when you wish to connect again. There is also
an option to Forget login information which you may want to do if you don’t want to
automatically be connected to a network or if a particular wireless network is no longer in
operation.
NOTE: When Wi-Fi is not in use, it is always a good idea to turn Wi-Fi off in order to
conserve remaining battery power.

Connecting to the Internet (Continued)
1111
Wireless Networks under “More”
Airplane mode is the setting that, when activated, suspends many of the device’s signal
transmitting functions, thereby disabling the device’s capacity to place or receive calls or
use text messaging – while still permitting use of other functions that do not require signal
transmission (i.e. - games, built-in camera, MP3 player). This mode offers a key benefit in
saving battery power when wireless connectivity is not required.
More Advanced Wireless Networks and Modes
• Some Wi-Fi routers support Wi-Fi Protected setup. If so, you can touch the Wi-Fi protected
icon on your tablet, and then touch the same button
on your router.
• You can add a new Wi-Fi network which is out of
range (not shown in the wireless network list or
the network does not broadcast it’s SSID number.
Press the Plus (+) icon at the top right of the wireless
network screen. With a new name and password
entered, you can automatically connect to that
network when it’s in range.
• There is three-vertical-buttons icon which allows
WPS Pin Entry to input the pin of the tablet on your
router as required with Wi-Fi Protected Setup mode.
Wi-Fi Direct allows connected devices to each other
without a router. It will scan for peer devices, show the
names of those devices, and “invite” and “confirm”
connection to them
• Device Certificates and Storage Credentials can
be created to identify your device for a variety
of purposes, including VPN or Wi-Fi network
access. You may require assistance from a system
administrator to install the certificate device’s trusted
credential storage. The trusted credentials can
be found in Settings > Personal under the Security
tab. There you may view, remove or disable trusted
credentials.
To ensure that you are making the
correct text entry, make sure to
enable “Show Password” selection
below the password entry.

Applications (Apps)
1212
Some applications, known as “Apps”, have been installed on your tablet to help get you
started. Here are tips on how to access and manipulate Apps:
• You can touch the All Apps tray icon to view more Apps than what you can see on
the initial Home screen.
• Tapping on any application icon in the Launcher screen will activate the application.
NOTE: For best results close Apps that are not necessary to be open to avoid excessive
drain on the battery.
• If you would like to add the application to the Home screen, simply press and hold the
app icon, and you will return to the Home screen with the selected icon still under-finger.
You can move the application to any available location on the main screen. Release
the application icon to place it in the screen, add it to another application in a separate
sub-window, or onto the top of the screen onto the text “App info”, where you will find
detailed information on that application.
• You can also touch, hold and slide an app to the Remove icon to remove it.
• It is recommended that you have a Google Gmail account, as many of these apps use
Google services.
Many apps have additional features shown at the top or bottom of the screen to enable
certain functionality. The pre-installed apps provide the following functionality:
For the Internet/Communication:

Settings
1717
The Settings section allows you to adjust many of the functions of the tablet.
The following are some of the available sections and features that you can view
and/or modify:
Under “Wireless and Networks” Menu
• Wi-Fi Turn Wi-Fi ON/OFF : Shows available Wi-Fi signals and allows for establishing
connectivity. To conserve tablet battery power, keep Wi-Fi set to OFF or set the tablet to
Airplane mode (in “More” section below).
• Data usage: A convenient tool for viewing the amount of data transferred to/from the tablet.
• More: Airplane Mode, Ethernet, VPN, Portable hotspot, Mobile Networks, 3G Support.
Under “Devices” Menu
• Sound: Adjust tablet volume controls for sound and notifications.
• Display: Adjust the Brightness, Auto-rotation, Sleep duration and Font size. You can
customize wallpaper backgrounds. Unless otherwise set, the tablet will go to sleep, and
automatically lock, after a preset period of time. The tablet can be set to sleep after 15
seconds to 30 minutes of inactivity, or not at all. The screen lock is determined by the
Screen Security setting. To conserve tablet battery power, set the display brightness and
sleep functions at reasonable levels.
• Storage: Show the total amount of memory available in the tablet for data (e.g., apps, pictures.).
• Battery: Shows battery usage over time, giving an estimate on how much battery power
is available (as a time interval). The status of the internal battery (charging/discharging
state) and level (a percentage of a fully charged battery) are displayed at the top of
the screen. There is a discharge graph that shows battery level over time since its last
recharged and the length of time that it has been operating on battery power.
• Apps: Shows a list of apps that have been downloaded, are currently running, or are
located on a separate device (such as a memory card). It displays the total amount of
internal storage available.
Under “Personal” Menu
• Location Access: Allows Google to determine your location using Wi-Fi, and to base any
searches off that location.
• Security: The Tablet comes with several security methods for unlocking the tablet,
encrypting data, and other security functions. You may set locks with a higher strength
level using this lock setting. When screen security is active, the tablet will lock after the
Power button has been pressed, and the screen has gone to sleep. You have several
security options as follows:

Settings (Continued)
1818
NOTE: You MUST remember the password or lock pattern. If you do forget what it is, you
will be unable to unlock your tablet without restoring it to the factory settings. Factory
reset will erase all data on your tablet. It is always recommended to use passwords
that are at least 8 characters long and contain numbers, letters and special symbols.
• Language and Input: Select the language you would like to view on the tablet.
Also, manage input using voice, text-to-speech output, and pointer speed.
• Backup & Reset: Manage the backup and restoration of app data, Wi-Fi passwords,
and other settings. Under this menu, you can perform a factory data reset of the tablet.
It will erase all your personal data from internal storage (ie – from your Google Account,
other accounts, system and app settings, any downloaded Apps, and media files). After
factory reset, you’ll need to re-enter your Google account information and re-install any
third party Apps. Alternately, you can automatically back up your settings and other data
associated with one or more of your Google Accounts. This is very helpful in the event
that you need to perform a factory reset on your device as it will restore your data for any
accounts that were previously backed up.
NOTE: The most basic way to reset the tablet (in the event that it is either unresponsive
to touch input or function keys), is to use a paperclip or similarly-sized pin and
press the Reset button located in the reset aperture. This reset will clear the memory
and reboot the tablet. However, it is not the same as a factory reset; your personal
information, apps, settings etc. will be retained. So it is good idea to try this reset
method first before performing a factory reset.
SCREEN SECURITY Screen lock - The tablet has several methods for locking/unlocking the
screen. Locking the screen prevents unauthorized users from accessing the
tablet. The default setting is the ‘Slide’ lock.
