Activating your new tablet is a necessary step to get started.

Setup can be as simple as tapping your tablet's email app and entering your login information. Note: Setup can vary based on which tablet and email client.

6. Understand data usage.

Your tablet uses data when you do things like browse the web, stream music, play videos and send emails on the go. Different apps and activities will use varying amounts of data. If you have an unlimited data plan, you don't have to worry about monitoring your data usage and keeping it within a monthly limit. Otherwise, you can monitor your data usage on the Usage page, and set usage alerts in My Verizon and on your new tablet with the the My Verizon app. To help conserve your data usage: Connect to Wi-Fi for data heavy activities like streaming music or video. Turn on settings that alert you to switch to Wi-Fi if attempting data heavy activities.

7. Pair with a Bluetooth® accessory.

Bluetooth is a wireless networking technology that lets you connect your tablet to other wireless devices, such as headsets, speakers, headphones and fitness bands. Typically, once a Bluetooth accessory has been paired with your tablet, it can be used with the tablet anytime without needing to pair them again. For instructions on setting up Bluetooth, visit your tablet's Interactive Simulator.

8. Maximize battery life.

Most tablets are powered by a rechargeable, standard Li-Ion battery. With proper care, and by adjusting a few settings on your tablet, you can easily prolong your battery's life and extend time between charges. To maximize battery life: Keep your battery cool. Recharge your battery using the smart charger that came with your tablet. Adjust the brightness on your screen to the lowest comfortable level. Turn off battery draining features when you aren't using them, like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and live wallpapers. Close apps when you're not using them to keep them from running in the background. Learn more about battery usage > To troubleshoot battery issues, visit your tablet's Troubleshooting Assistant.
