Security

It is a good idea to set a password for your tablet.  It can be an alpha-numeric password or a pattern passcode.

To set a password, click on Settings:

• Click on SECURITY in the left hand column
• Click on SCREEN LOCK in the right hand column
• Choices:
• Password
• Type in your desired password and click Continue
• Re-type your password to confirm and click OK
• Pattern
• Draw a pattern on the 9 dots and click Continue
• Re-draw your pattern to confirm and click Confirm
• Slide
• This returns the tablet to the original slide unlock setting

MAKE SURE YOU WRITE DOWN YOUR PASSWORD SOMEWHERE SAFE! 

IF YOU FORGET YOUR PASSWORD, GO SEE MRS. G AT THE TAB LAB. 

**IMPORTANT**  MOST OF THE TIME THE TAB LAB CAN SEND A MESSAGE TO YOUR TABLET TO RESET THE PASSWORD, BUT SOMETIMES THE TABLET HAS TO BE FACTORY RESET IN ORDER TO BREAK THE PASSWORD (ESPECIALLY THE PATTERN PASSCODES)  MAKE SURE ALL YOUR DATA IS ALWAYS BACKED UP TO THE CLOUD!

Battery Life

Battery Life

Charge your tablet every night, just like your cell phone.

Don't let your tablet sit uncharged for numerous days in a row.  If you do, your charger may take several days to charge it up again.  Keeping it charged every day avoids this problem!

There are numerous strategies to save your battery life.

• In Settings, Display: Turn down your Brightness
• In Settings, Display: Lower the time until Sleep mode activates
• Do not run apps with lots of motion as your screen saver
• Close apps that you aren't currently using
• Stop by the TAB LAB for help if you are still running out of battery life during the school day
