Getting Started
Connecting your tablet to a computer using the USB cable also allows you to transfer files
between the two devices (from its internal memory or from the inserted MicroSD card).
This will allow you to use, copy or store images, videos, music, text documents, etc. on one
or both devices.
The file transfer mode can be selected on connecting your Aquaris M8 to a computer. When
you connect it, press the Touch for other USB options message to see the USB computer
connection menu. Connecting with the Charging option eliminates data connections and
file transfers between the computer and the device allowing for improved charging speed.
Other options include File transfers (MTP), Photo transfer (PTP) or MIDI, which allows the
connection of musical instruments or other devices with MIDI inputs such as keyboards.
There are a number of ways to transfer files. The following steps explain how to do this via
a USB connection:
1. Connect your Aquaris M8 to a computer using the micro-USB to USB cable provided.
Insert the micro-USB connector into the corresponding port on the device, and the
generic USB connector into the corresponding port on the computer.
2. Select and copy the desired files to your device or computer. Remember that you can store
them on either the internal memory or the MicroSD card if you are using one.
To transfer files in MTP or PTP mode from your tablet (and/or MicroSD card) to a Mac OS computer
and vice versa, you will need to download and install the free Android File Transfer application to your
computer: www.android.com/filetransfer/.
Do not disconnect the cable while files are being transferred.
