Using your tablet for the first time

Be sure to read the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort for information on the safe and proper use of this tablet. It is intended to help you be more comfortable and productive while using a tablet. By following the recommendations in it you may reduce your chance of developing a painful or disabling injury to your hand, arms, shoulders or neck.

This section provides basic information to start using your tablet. It covers the following topics:

Connecting the AC adaptor

Turning on the power

Initial setup

Getting to know Windows

Use a virus-check program and make sure it is updated regularly.

Never format storage media without checking its content - formatting destroys all stored data.

It is a good idea to periodically back up the internal storage of the tablet to an external media. General storage media is not durable or stable over long periods of time and under certain conditions may result in data loss.

Before you install a device or application, save any data in memory to the internal storage or other storage media. Failure to do so may result in the loss of data.
