7) Setting up the tablet stand The tablet stand comes folded up. It consists of a front base section (1) with an integrated holder for the SurfTab (5), a back rest bar (2), two locking screws (3) and a rear base section (4).
Only a few steps are needed to unfold and set up the tablet stand: a) First fold the front base section (1) forwards far enough so that it forms an angle of 45° – 90° with the rear base section (4). NOTE If the base section will not fold forwards without you having to exert considerable force, loosen the two locking screws (3) a little by turning them in an anti-clockwise direction.
b) Now fold the back rest bar (2) up high enough so that it forms an angle of approx. 90° with the base area of the stand. NOTE When folding up the back rest bar, hold the front and rear base section (4) in position with the palm of your hand if necessary. c) As soon as all three elements are in the required position, tighten the locking screws by turning them in a clockwise direction.
Now you can set the SurfTab in the holder (5) provided in the front base section. The tablet stand can be folded up again at any time to save space during transport. NOTE Tighten the locking screws again after folding the stand up by turning them in a clockwise direction. This will prevent the stand from unfolding again and/or the locking screws becoming loose and getting lost.
8) Starting up the SurfTab for the first time Charging the SurfTab Please fully charge your SurfTab before you use it for the first time. To charge the SurfTab, connect the DC plug on the power adapter supplied to the charging socket (DC IN) on the SurfTab. Then plug the power adapter into a socket.

26) Troubleshooting/FAQ In the following, you will find a list of frequently asked questions along with the appropriate answers and proposed solutions. Why does my SurfTab show less storage space than indicated on the packaging? The storage capacity indicated on the packaging and in the technical specifications refers to the total storage capacity of your SurfTab. However, a portion of the total storage is also used by the operating system and system applications.
Why does my SurfTab just switch off sometimes? If the energy level of the battery falls below a critical level, the SurfTab displays a corresponding warning. If you ignore these warnings, the SurfTab will turn off in order to counteract total discharge of the battery. Total discharge can lead to a situation where it is no longer possible to charge the SurfTab. For this reason, connect the tablet to the charger at this point at the latest in order to prevent data loss and damage to the battery.
27) Glossary Apps/applications An app (abbreviation of the word "APPLICATIONS") or application is a program that you can download from the Play Store, for example, and install on your SurfTab. Games, programs for playing back images and music files, word processing programs and a lot more are available.
Play Store The Play Store is an online store offered by Google with lots of useful and interesting apps that you can download to your SurfTab. See Section 18 for information on how to download apps from the Play Store. Note that you need to pay for some apps (paid apps are clearly labelled as such in the Play Store). USB USB stands for "UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS" and is the name of a cablebased interface on your SurfTab.
