Android Wear
Android Wear watches from other manu-facturers connect your
phone to your wrist. Pause, play, and skip music tracks or quickly
respond to text messages using only your watch. Android Wear
organizes your information, suggests what you need, and shows it
to you before you even ask. Get messages from your friends,
meeting notifications, and weather updates at a glance.
Set up your device
When you first turn on your tablet, you’ll see a Welcome screen.
Choose the language you want and touch the arrow to continue.
IMPORTANT: To complete the setup process, it’s best to
have a Wi-Fi connection.
When prompted, sign in with your Google Account or create one
at that time. Signing in lets you immediately access everything
associated with your Google Account, like Gmail. If you prefer,
you can skip this step and create an account later.

ANDROID QUICK START GUIDE WELCOME TO ANDROID 3
An email address that you use for any of the following counts as
a Google Account:
• Gmail
• YouTube
• Google Play
• Google Apps
• AdWords
• Any other Google product
Signing in with a Google Account helps you get up and running
quickly. When you sign in, you can easily get all the apps you’ve
purchased on Google Play onto your new device. All the email,
contacts, calendar events, and other data associated with that
account are automatically synced with your device.
For example, if you change a friend’s phone number on your
phone, that change also appears on your tablet and on any com-
puters where you’re signed in to your Google Account.
If you have multiple Google Accounts, you can add others later
from Settings > Personal > Accounts. You can also add guest
users in Settings > Device > Users.
Make yourself at home
After you nish setting up your device, the Home screen appears
for the rst time. Here, you can add app icons and widgets (an “at-
a-glance” view of an app’s most important information) to your
Home screens to easily nd them.
• To move between Home screens, swipe left or right.
• To see notications, swipe down from the top of the screen
with one nger.

ANDROID QUICK START GUIDE WELCOME TO ANDROID 4
Send an email
Use the Gmail app to read and write email from your
Gmail or other email addresses.
1. Touch Gmail on a Home or All Apps screen.
2. If you already signed into a Gmail account during setup, your
email will be synced to your device. Otherwise, add an email
address now.
Status bar
The status bar is at the very top of the screen. On the right, you
can see the Wi-Fi and mobile signal strength, how much battery
power is left, and the time. On the left, you can see which apps
have sent you notications. See “Sound & notication” on page
19.
Quick Settings
Use Quick Settings to easily get to frequently used settings, like
turning on airplane mode. To open Quick Settings, swipe down
from the top of the screen with two ngers or twice with one n-
ger. To change a setting, just touch the icon:
• Wi-Fi network: Turn Wi-Fi on or off. To open Wi-Fi settings,
touch the Wi-Fi network name.
• Bluetooth*settings: Turn Bluetooth on or off. To open Blue-
tooth settings, touch the word “Bluetooth”.
• Airplane*mode: Turn airplane mode on or off. Airplane
mode means your phone won’t connect to Wi-Fi or a cell sig-
nal, even if one is available.
*May not be available on included tablet.

tery life remaining. Swipe down from the top of the screen, then
touch Battery.

ANDROID QUICK START GUIDE WELCOME TO ANDROID 6
Your Android device’s battery is built to get you through your day.
When you’re running low, Android’s battery saver conserves your
battery power so you can still make calls and send SMS (text)
messages. To turn it on, go to Settings > Battery > Battery
saver. For more information, visit Manage battery life.
Get around
At the bottom of every Home screen you’ll nd the Favorites tray:
another quick way to get to your apps.
To open an app, touch it. To drag an app in or out of the Favorites
tray or anywhere else on a Home screen, touch & hold it, then
move it with your nger where you want it.
Navigation buttons
At the bottom of most phone or tablet screens, no matter what
you’re doing, you’ll always find the navigation bar with three but-
tons.
Back
Opens the previous screen you were working in, even
if it was in a different app. Once you back up to the
Home screen, you can’t go back any further.
Home
Opens the central Home screen. To open Google Now,
swipe up.

Essentials
Google Now
Google Now is about getting you just the right information, at just
the right time. It tells you today’s weather before you start your
day, how much trafc to expect before you leave for work, and
even your favorite team’s score while they’re playing.
For example, here’s a Google Now card that appears when you’re
about to start your commute:

ANDROID QUICK START GUIDE ESSENTIALS 12
After you start using Google Now, you don’t need to do anything
else. If you like, you can ne-tune some settings, but Google Now
doesn’t need any elaborate setup.
How it works
To know when to show information you’ll nd useful, Google Now
uses contextual data from your device and from other Google
products, plus data from third-party products that you allow
Google Now to access. For example, if you have an appointment
in Google Calendar that includes an address, Google Now can
check trafc and suggest when to leave.
When you decide to use Google Now, you’re also turning on Loca-
tion Reporting and Location History:
• Location Reporting allows Google to periodically store and
use your device’s most recent location data in connection
with your Google Account. Location Reporting is a per-device
setting.
• Location History allows Google to store a history of your
location data from all devices where you’re logged into your
Google Account and have turned on Location Reporting.
You can control how Google Now uses your current location. To
view the relevant settings, go to Settings > Personal > Loca-
tion. When location services are turned on for your account on a
given device, certain apps can use them to give you more relevant
information, such as nearby restaurants or commute trafc.

ANDROID QUICK START GUIDE ESSENTIALS 13
Try it
You have a chance to turn on Google Now when you rst set up
your device. You can also turn it on or off at any time:
1. Touch & hold any empty space on your Home screen.
2. Go to Settings > Google Now.
To open Google Now, swipe up from the Home button. Updates
appear in the form of Google Now cards. When you don’t need a
card anymore, swipe it from left to right. Swiping from right to left
returns you to the main Home screen.
When you want to see more cards, touch More at the bottom of
the screen.
To adjust the way certain cards get updated:
• Manage reminders: From the Menu at the top left of the
screen, touch Reminders.
• Request updates for your sports teams, stocks, and more:
From the Menu, touch Customize.
• Customize other updates: At the top right of each card, touch
the three dots.

ANDROID QUICK START GUIDE ESSENTIALS 14
What you can ask Google to do for you
When you use Google Now, you can speak to your device to
search, get directions, and create reminders. For example, say
“Ok Google, do I need an umbrella tomorrow?” to see if there’s
rain in the weather forecast.
Turn “Ok Google” on or off
You can start a search or task by saying “Ok Google.” To turn it
off or on, open Google Now or the Google app and touch Menu >
Settings > Voice > OK Google detection.
Display
Change the display settings on your device by following these
steps:
1. Go to Settings > Device > Display.
2. Choose from the following settings. Some of these settings
may vary by your device and version of Android. All can affect
battery life. See “Manage battery life” on page 8 for more
information.
• Brightness level: Move the slider to set the brightness
level on your device.
• Adaptive brightness: Turn on adaptive brightness to au-
tomatically optimize the brightness level on your device
based on the available light around you. Adaptive bright-
ness is on by default. You can still adjust your brightness
when needed.
• Sleep: Change how long it takes for your device’s screen to
go black when you’re not using it. Learn more about Sleep
Settings.
• Daydream: Set up screensavers that display photos, color-

ANDROID QUICK START GUIDE ESSENTIALS 15
ful backgrounds, and more when your device is charging or
docked.
• if you want your phone to wake up when you pick it up or
when a notication arrives.
Sound & notication
You can change the sound and notication settings on your de-
vice by going to Settings > Device > Sound & notication.
Notications alert you to the arrival of new messages, calen-
dar events, and alarms, as well as ongoing events, such as
downloads:
• Interruptions. Prioritize sound notifications so they don’t inter-
rupt you.
• When device is locked. Manage whether notications can be
seen when your tablet is locked, and whether sensitive con-
tent in a notification can be seen. Sensitive content includes
things like the title of a song you downloaded, who sent you an
email, or the details of a calendar event.
• App Notications. Modify the notication settings individu-
ally for apps such as Gmail. The setting under When device
is locked will always take precedence over the setting for an
individual app.
• Notication access. See which apps can access your
notications.
