Signing into your Google Account
You must sign into a Google Account to use Google Mail, Google Talk, and other Google Apps; to download apps from
Android Market; to back up your settings and other data to Google servers; and to take advantage of other Google
services on your tablet.
If you have backed up your Android settings using a Google Account in the past and you want to restore those
settings to your tablet, you must sign into that account now, during setup: If you sign in after setup, you can’t
restore your settings.
If you don’t have a Google Account, you can also create one.
When you sign in, you’re prompted to enter your username and password, using the onscreen keyboard. For
information about navigating the touchscreen and entering text, see “Using the touchscreen” on page 13 and “Entering
and editing text” on page 39.
If you have an enterprise Google Mail account through your company or other organization, your IT department may
have special instructions on how to sign into that account.
When you sign in, your contacts, Google Mail messages, Calendar events, and other information from these apps and
services on the web are synchronized with your tablet.
If you don’t sign into a Google Account during setup, you are prompted to sign in or to create a Google Account the first
time you start an app that requires one, such as Google Mail or Android Market.
