Connecting to networks and devices

Your tablet can connect to a variety of networks and devices, including mobile networks for data transmission, Wi-Fi data networks, and Bluetooth devices, such as headsets. You can connect your tablet to a computer, to transfer files from your tablet, using a USB connection or Bluetooth. You can also share your tablet’s mobile data connection via USB, Bluetooth, or as a portable Wi‑Fi hotspot.

Connecting to mobile networks

Your tablet is configured to use mobile networks to transmit data (unless your tablet is configured for Wi-Fi only). Depending on your model of tablet and how you purchased it, it may simply connect to your carrier’s network when you turn it on. Or you may need to insert a SIM card or configure details about how to connect to a specific carrier. Be sure to consult your tablet’s vendor and its quick start guide for details.

Different locations may have different mobile networks available. Initially, your tablet is configured to use the fastest mobile network available for data. But depending on your model of tablet, you may be able to configure your tablet to use slower networks for data, to extend the life of your battery between charges. You can also configure your tablet to access a different set of networks entirely, or to behave in special ways when roaming.

Icons in the System bar, to the right of the time, indicate which kind of data network you’re connected to and the network signal strength.
