Take a screenshot

You can easily take a screenshot on your tablet that you can save 
in your Gallery or share with others:

1.  Make sure the image you want to capture is displayed on the 

screen.

2.  Press the Power and Volume down buttons simultaneously.

The screenshot is automatically saved in your Gallery.

TIP: To easily share your screenshot via Gmail, Google+, 
and more, swipe down the notification shade and touch the 

 share icon next to the preview of your screenshot.

Connect to keyboards, mice, & other devices 

You can connect a keyboard, mouse, or even a joystick or other 
input device to your tablet via usb or bluetooth and use it just as 
you would with a PC.

You may need an adapter to connect the keyboard or other device 
to your tablet’s usb port. To connect more than one usb device 
at a time, use a powered usb hub to reduce the drain on your tab-
let’s battery.

IMPOrTANT: using external devices such as keyboards via 
USB will cause a significant additional drain on your bat-
tery, as will continuous use of a mouse via bluetooth.
