The manufacturer clearly shows where the main connection ports are located, where the SIM and memory cards are installed. The instruction manual for any tablet, from a simple Dexp to a sophisticated Samsung, will tell you how to connect the charger and enlighten you about other actions necessary for the normal functioning of the product.

Using a tablet in most cases does not involve replacing the SIM while the device is on. Before any card installation or removal operations, the device must be turned off. Therefore, if it is possible, or if Internet access is supported through the mobile operator’s network, you must:

• study the operating instructions and find the installation location of the SIM card on the case;
• check that the device is disabled or turn it off;
• open the compartment (if necessary) using a special paper clip;
• pull out the tray and install the SIM in it;

You can exit the date and time settings by pressing the Back button, indicated by a left-curved arrow.

Display

Using an Android tablet is much more enjoyable if you adjust the brightness and colors of the display to your liking. This is worth doing, including for . An overly bright display will drain the battery faster and the tablet will have to be charged.

The screen will reach maximum luminosity on a bright sunny day and will almost go dark at night in a dark room. This will ensure comfort for the eyes and help extend the operation of the device on a single battery charge.

• go to settings;
• select Network and Internet;
• go to the Mobile network section;
• select the Access Points item and select the one you need (or leave the one marked based on the SIM card data).
