OTA Updates
OTA stands for "Over the Air", which refers to the way that firmware updates are sent to your
device, that is, via your data connection. Minimal intervention is required on behalf of the
user and there is no need for complex update procedures.
Your device will periodically check for new updates to the operating system, which generally
include performance improvements or additional features for your tablet.
When the system detects that an update is available, a pop-up window will notify you of
this and will request confirmation to install it. We recommend using a Wi-Fi connection to
download the update package.
To ensure speed and convenience the system will guide you throughout the installation
process.
To check for updates manually go to Settings > About tablet > System updates > Update. A
message will appear informing you that the system is searching for available updates. If an
update is available the installation process will occur as described above.

Voice Search

On the Home screen there is a widget containing a microphone icon. Tapping it will launch
the Voice search app. This app allows you to quickly search for information on any given
subject. It will also speedily connect with other apps, such as maps.
Voice searches can also be performed even if the device is locked or an app is being used,
just say "Ok Google".
For the device to recognise your "Ok Google" from any screen go to Settings > Google >
Search and Now > Voice > "Ok Google" detection and enable the From any screen option. A
wizard will help you record the sound of your voice so that the tablet reacts correctly when
you speak.
