Sign in to or create a Google account

If you have Internet access, your tablet allows you to synchronize information with a Google account.

During the start-up process, you may create or sign in to an account, which will be used to synchronize your contact list, email, calendar and other information. If you do not yet have Internet access, or do not want to use this feature, then tap Skip.

Important: You must sign in to a Google Account to use Gmail, Google Talk, Google Calendar, and other Google Apps; to download applications from Google Play; to back up your settings to Google servers; and to take advantage of other Google services on your tablet.

If you want to restore existing settings from another device with Android 2.0 (or later) installed, you must sign in to your Google account during setup. If you wait until after setup is complete, your settings will not be restored.
