About your tablet

1. Take off the bumper.
2. With the tablet facing down, open the microSD card slot cover.
3. Insert the microSD card into the slot on the right with the gold contacts facing down, as shown below.

4. Then, gently push the microSD card into the slot until it clicks into place.
5. Close the microSD card slot cover.
6. Put the bumper back on.

NOTE: The microSD card is sold separately.

Charging your tablet

Before turning on your tablet, charge it fully.

1. With the tablet and the “UP” label on the USB cable facing up, connect the small end of the USB cable to the USB/charger port of your tablet.
2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the charger.
3. Plug the charger into an electrical outlet.

WARNING: Only use approved chargers with your device. Incompatible chargers or tampering with the charging port could damage your device and void the warranty.

Turning your tablet on/off

To turn your tablet on, press and hold the Power/Lock button until the screen lights up.

To turn your tablet off, press and hold the Power/Lock button until the tablet options are shown. Tap Power off.

Locking/Unlocking the screen

To turn on your screen, press the Power/Lock button. Then drag the lock icon up to unlock it.

When using Kids World:

When in Parent Dashboard, if the screen locks, you will have to enter your Parent PIN.

To turn off your screen and prevent accidental key presses, press the Power/Lock button. Your tablet will also lock automatically if you don’t use it for a while.

Activating your GizmoTab

The first time you turn on your GizmoTab, you’ll be taken through activation screens which will help you set up your network connection (Wi-Fi and LTE).

Once activation is complete, you’ll enter GizmoTab mode. From here you can create a GizmoTab account or sign in if you already have an account. Then, follow the onscreen instructions to create your child’s profile. (You can add up to 3 children to the tablet.)

When you’re done adding children, you can go straight to Kids World.

Kids World

Kids World is where your child can explore all that GizmoTab has to offer. It is made up of 8 themed islands – all with lots to discover. On these islands, your child will find all their learning and playing apps. On the island named after your child, they will find a 3-D world to explore, an avatar they can customize, and a clubhouse to decorate.

About apps on your GizmoTab

From the Parent Dashboard, you can manage the apps your child can use in Kids World.

GizmoTab apps
GizmoTab apps have been specifically created to give your child a fun and safe experience without explicit content or the risks associated with social media apps. Your child will find these apps in the various themed islands of Kids World and can choose and download these apps without help from you.

To save space on your tablet, or as your child outgrows certain apps, you can uninstall GizmoTab apps by going to Parent Dashboard > Manage Apps > GizmoTab Apps. Then just tap Uninstall next to the app you want to remove.

Play Store apps
You can install outside apps from the Google Play Store. When you add an app from the Play Store, you’ll need to decide if it’s for learning or playing for each child on your GizmoTab. You can go back and change this at any time.

In the Parent Dashboard, open your child’s profile. Then go to the Manage Apps tab and tap Play Store Apps at the top of the screen. Find the app in the list and tap Learn or Play. You can also decide whether or not the app is visible to your child in Kids World. Repeat this for all the children on your GizmoTab.

Your child will find Play Store apps on their personal island. Learning apps will be in the School and playing apps will be in the Arcade. Apps can also be found in the app tray at the bottom of the screen.

To remove Play Store apps, tap Exit to Android Tablet in the Parent Dashboard side bar. Then, from the Android Home screen, go to Apps . Find the apps and uninstall them.
