1 The basics
NOTE: For basic operating instructions, see the printed Quick Start guide included in the box with
your tablet.
IMPORTANT: Before using the tablet for the first time, connect it to external power, and then
charge the battery for at least 15 minutes.
To start using your tablet, follow these instructions:
1. After charging the battery, and while the battery image is displayed on the screen, turn on the
tablet by pressing and holding the power button about 5 seconds until the HP logo is displayed.
The first time you turn on the tablet, you will see a Welcome screen.
IMPORTANT: If the battery image is not displayed on the screen, press the power button
briefly to display the image, and then press and hold the power button until the HP logo is
displayed.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions to select a language, connect to a wireless network, and sign
into your Google™ account.
NOTE: If you do not have a Google account, you can create one now. When you sign into a
Google account, the email, contacts, calendar events, and data associated with that account are
synchronized with your tablet. If you have additional Google accounts, you can add them later.
