Getting Started
Power On & Sign In
To turn on your Prestige 7, press the Power button on the
right edge near the top for a few seconds, then release it.
Charge the battery
The battery may not be fully charged at first. It’s a good
idea to fully charge it as soon as you can.
The Prestige 7 can be charged 2 ways. With the power
adapter, connect the power adapter to the Prestige 7 and
to a power outlet. With a USB, connect the included USB
cable to the Prestige 7 and to a computer that is powered
on. (Note: charging via USB is slower than via power
adapter.)

Connect to Networks
Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that can provide
internet access at distances of up to 100 meters,
depending on the Wi-Fi router and your surroundings.
To use Wi-Fi, you connect to a wireless access point, or
“hotspot.” Some hotspots are open and you can simply
connect to them. Others implement security features that
require other steps to set up, such as digital certificates or
other ways to ensure that only authorized users can
connect.
To extend the life of your battery between charges, turn
off Wi-Fi when you’re not using it. You can also set your
device to disconnect automatically from Wi-Fi networks
when it’s sleeping.
To work with Wi-Fi settings, go to
Settings > Wireless
& networks > Wi-Fi.
Turn Wi-Fi on & connect to a Wi-Fi network
If you’re adding a Wi-Fi network when first setting up your

it, along with any security credentials, and connect to it
automatically when it’s in range. You must also add a Wi-Fi
network if the network does not broadcast its name (ssid),
or to add a Wi-Fi network when you are out of range.
To join a secured network, you first need to learn security
details from the network’s administrator.

from your network administrator. Depending on your
organization’s solution, you may need to obtain a VPN app

Secure Your Tablet
Set Screen Lock
Depending how you use your tablet, you may want to set
some form of automatic screen lock to prevent
unauthorized access. If a screen lock has been set, the
screen locks when your tablet’s display goes to sleep.
If your tablet’s playing music when the screen locks, you
can continue listening or pause the selection without
unlocking.
To adjust your lock settings:
1. Go to
Settings > Personal > Security > Screen lock.
2. Touch the type of lock you want and follow the onscreen
instructions. If you have previously set a lock, you must
enter the pattern, PIN, or password to unlock the lock
settings.
You can choose among these lock options, listed in
approximate order of strength:

Slide provides no protection, but lets you get to the Home
screen quickly, or open Camera and start taking pictures
immediately.
Pattern lets you draw a simple pattern with your finger to
unlock the phone. This is more secure than Slide unlock.
PIN requires four or more numbers. Longer PINs tend to be
more secure.
Password requires four or more letters or numbers. This is
the most secure option, as long as you create a strong
password.
Password tips: For best security, specify a password that is
at least 8 characters long, contains a mixture of numbers,
letters, and special symbols and doesn’t contain any
recognizable words or phrases.
To change when your phone goes to sleep, go to Settings
> Device > Display > Sleep.
To see your passwords when you input them, go to
Settings > Personal > Security > Make passwords visible.
Encrypt your Tablet
You can encrypt all the data on your tablet: Google
Accounts, app data, music and other media, downloaded

information, and so on. if you do, you must enter a
numeric PIN or password each time you turn on your
tablet. Note that this is the same PIN or password that you
use to unlock your tablet without encryption, and cannot
be set independently.
Warning: encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert
to an unencrypted tablet is to perform a factory data reset,
which erases all your data.
Encryption provides additional protection in case your
tablet is stolen, and may be required or recommended in
some organizations. Consult your system administrator
before turning it on. in many cases the PIN or password
you set for encryption is controlled by the system
administrator.
Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:
Set a lock screen PIN or password.
Charge the battery.
Plug in your tablet.
Schedule an hour or more for the encryption process: you
must not interrupt it or you will lose some or all of your
data.

mind about encrypting your tablet, touch the back button.
Warning: if you interrupt the encryption process, you will
lose data.
Touch Encrypt tablet.
Enter your lock screen PIN or password and touch
Continue.
Touch Encrypt Tablet again.
The encryption process starts and displays its progress.
encryption can take an hour or more, during which time

PIN or password each time you power on your tablet, to
decrypt it.

Work with Certificates
You can use digital certificates to identify your device for a
variety of purposes, including VPN or Wi-Fi network access
as well as authentication to servers by apps such as email
or browser. To use a certificate to identify your device, you
must obtain it with help from your system administrator,
and install it in your device’s trusted credential storage .
Android supports DER-encoded X.509 certificates, saved in
files with a .crt or .cer file extension. If your certificate file
has a .der or other extension, you must change it to .crt or
.cer or you won’t be able to install it.
Android also supports X.509 certificates saved in PKCS#12
key store files with a .p12 or .pfx extension. If your key
store has some other extension, you much change it to
.p12 or .pfx or you won’t be able to install it. When you
install a certificate from a PKCS#12 key store, Android also
installs any accompanying private key or certificate
authority certificates.
Install Client & CA Certificates

To install a certificate from your tablet’s internal storage:
Copy the certificate or key store from your computer to
the root of your device’s internal storage (that is, not in a
folder).
Touch
Settings > Personal > Security > Credential
storage > Install from storage.
Touch the filename of the certificate or keystore to install.
Only certificates that you haven’t already installed are
displayed. If prompted, enter the key store password and
touch OK. Enter a name for the certificate and touch OK.
Typically, a CA certificate included with a client certificate
is installed at the same time. You can also install separate
CA certificates using the same steps.
if you have not already set a pattern, PIN, or password for
your device, you’re prompted to set one up. The type of
lock that’s acceptable may be predetermined by your
system administrator.
You can now use the certificate that you installed when
connecting to a secure network or for client authentication
with email, Browser, and third-party apps. After
a
certificate is installed successfully, the copy in storage is
deleted.

Warning: Apps such as email and browser that support
certificates allow you to install certificates directly from
within the app. For details, see the Help or other instruc-
tions that come with each app.
Work with CA Certificates
If a certificate authority (CA) certificate gets compromised,
or for some other reason your organization doesn’t want
to trust it, you can disable or remove it. To do so, follow
these steps:
1. Touch
Settings > Personal > Security > Credential
storage >Trusted credentials. The trusted credentials
screen has two tabs:
System displays certificate authority (CA) certificates that
are permanently installed in the RoM of your tablet.
User displays any CA certificates that you have installed
yourself, for example in the process of installing a client
certificate.
To examine the details of CA certificate, touch its name. A
scrolling screen displays the details.

To remove or disable a CA certificate, scroll down to the
bottom of the details screen and touch either Disable for
system certificates or remove for user certificates.
When you disable a system CA certificate, the button at
the bottom of its details screen changes to Enable, so you
can enable the certificate again if necessary. When you
remove
a
user-installed CA certificate, it is gone
permanently and must be re-installed if you want it back.
In the confirmation dialog that appears, click OK.
