How to set up a new Android tablet

Press and hold the Power button, usually located on the side or top of the device, until the screen lights up.

If the battery is low, plug the tablet into a charger to ensure it has enough power.

When the welcome screen appears, choose your preferred language and region from the list provided. Tap ‘Start’ or ‘Next’ to continue with the setup process.

Carefully read the terms of use and privacy policy displayed on the screen. Once you are ready to proceed, tap ‘Agree’ or ‘Accept.’

Select your Wi-Fi network from the list of available options. Enter the network password when prompted and tap ‘Connect.’

If you don’t have access to Wi-Fi at the moment, you can skip this step, but some features will be unavailable until you connect to the internet.

If you are upgrading from another device, you may have the option to restore your apps and data.

Follow the prompts to transfer content using a Google backup, a USB cable, or a transfer app. If you prefer to start fresh, simply skip this step.

Enter your Google Account email address and password to sign in. If you don’t have a Google Account, tap ‘Create Account’ and follow the on-screen instructions to set up a new one.

Signing in to a Google Account is essential for downloading apps, syncing your data, and accessing Google services.

Once the setup is complete, your tablet is ready to use.

You can begin exploring the home screen, downloading apps from the Google Play Store, and customising settings to suit your preferences.
