2Xoom Companion

To start with your new Motorola Xoom, you will want to activate it. Then

you’ll likely want to familiarize yourself with the physical parts of the

device (such as the Power/Lock buon), join a Wi-Fi network, learn how to

navigate the screens, menus, and various tabs, and learn a lile about how

to use the keyboard. Aer you’re acquainted with your device and can move

around successfully in it, you may want to connect a Bluetooth device. You

may also want to protect the Xoom from unauthorized access using the secu-

rity options your Xoom provides.

Seing Up Your Xoom

When you ﬁrst turn on your new Xoom, you need to work through a few setup

processes. You’ve probably already done that, but if not, they include:

Charging the device (if it isn’t already charged)

Choosing a language

Activating your device using either Verizon’s cellular towers or your

wireless network.

If you opted to buy the Xoom outright from a Verizon store or online, and you

did not sign up for any data plan when you purchased it, you can’t activate the

device on the Verizon network. You need to activate it using a Wi-Fi network.

Additionally, if you decide later to sign up for a cellular data plan with Verizon,

you need to call Verizon and either create a new account or add a new line to an

existing account. You can’t simply activate the network service from your Xoom.

To activate your Xoom:

. Turn on the Xoom. It will try to activate itself on the Verizon cellular

network.

. If you do not have a Verizon plan for cellular service, you will be

prompted to select Skip or Set Up Using Wi-Fi.

. If you choose the Wi-Fi option, you’ll receive a list of Wi-Fi networks

within range. Tap the desired network.

. Input any passwords or passcodes as prompted.

. You’ll see a screen that details Google’s location service. You can choose

to opt out of providing anonymous location data and allow the service to

use your location to improve search results and provide location services.

Chapter One: How Do I Get Started with the Motorola Xoom?

. When prompted, sign in with your existing Google account or create

one, or skip this task until later. I opted to input my Google account

during the setup process and encourage you to do so as well. If you’ve

already passed through this and did not set up your Google account,

later in the chapter are instructions on how to do this.

. Finally tap Done on the Xoom’s screen to complete the process.

WHAT ARE LOCATION SERVICES? Location services can determine

where you are currently positioned by using location data from Verizon’s

cellular towers, Wi-Fi hotspots, or plain old GPS. Actually, these can tell

you where your Xoom is located. With your location information pin-

pointed, apps such as Maps can offer directions from your current loca-

tion to another, inform you of transportation options in your area, and help

you locate restaurants, coffee shops, bars, hotels, gas stations, and other

places of interest. Additional apps you acquire may use your location to

help you locate nearby restaurants, airports, or even friends, or to share

where you are with others. You’ll be prompted by apps when you obtain

them to let them have access to your location, and you can generally opt

to allow or disallow the ﬁrst time you open the app.

Figure 1-1 shows what you see when setup is complete and the names of

the Home screen features.

Notice the icons on the screen in Figure 1-1. In the middle of the screen

are shortcuts to apps you’ll use oen, including the Clock (which includes

an alarm), Browser, Gmail, Talk, Music, Books, and Market. You’ll learn more

about these as you go along, although you probably already have a good idea

of what to expect from each. Additionally, note the callouts for other items on

the screen. You learn more about these later as well, but familiarize yourself

with their names.

Finally, if you purchased peripherals when you purchased your Xoom, you

can install those now. You might have purchased the protective Portfolio

Case, the Speaker HD Dock, or the Standard Dock, for instance. Each of these

devices comes with a set of instructions for using them. Follow those instruc-

tions as required; however, I included a section on installing Bluetooth devices

4Xoom Companion

at the end of this chapter if you’d like to wait on those. If you’re interested in

seeing what else is available in the way of peripherals, visit www.motorola.com,

and browse the site for Xoom accessories.

UnlOCking the XOOm

The ﬁrst time your Xoom reaches the default timeout threshold of inactivity,

which is 2 minutes, the screen darkens and the Xoom goes to sleep. It won’t

be powered oﬀ though. When you’re ready to use the Xoom again, you need

to press the Power/Lock key on the back of the device to wake it up. Here’s the

rub though. When you press the Power/Lock key on the back, the screen you’ll

be greeted with will have a clock and a padlock icon (among other things); it

Chapter One: How Do I Get Started with the Motorola Xoom?

won’t be the Home screen shown in Figure 1-1. If you tap that Padlock icon one

time, the lock appears to the right-hand side of the circle’s edge indicating you

need to drag the icon outside of the circle. Alternately, you can tap the unlock

icon that appears outside of the circle. Both will unlock the Xoom. This is to

keep the device from accidentally being turned on when you don’t need it, but

can be quite confusing to a newcomer.

If you decided that the Padlock icon is a feature you want to disable, at

least while you work through this chapter and get to know your Xoom, it’s

easy to do and makes a great ﬁrst lesson:

. From the Home screen, tap the Open Apps icon.

See Figure 1-2.

. Tap Seings.

. Tap Location & Security.

. Tap Conﬁgure Lock Screen. See Figure 1-3.

. Tap Oﬀ.

. To return to the Home screen, tap the Home icon

in the boom-le corner of the screen.

Figure 1-3 You can disable the Lock Screen while you learn about Xoom and lock it later

when security is required.

Open Apps icon is

located in the top-

right corner of each

Home screen.

COnneCting tO YOUr COmpUter

It’s best to connect your Xoom to your computer now, even though it’s not

technically necessary. This ensures the Xoom’s driver is installed on the com-

puter and that it is available when you’re ready to try your hand at syncing

or performing related tasks. It can also give you a chance to see what your

options are aer your Xoom is connected and installed.

On a PC, you’ll likely see an

AutoPlay dialog box once the

Xoom is recognized by the com-

puter, shown in Figure 1-4. (Macs

won’t recognize the Xoom as an

external drive without third-party

soware.) What you see depends

on the operating system you use

and the applications installed on it.

Unfortunately, there’s no built-in

support for syncing and it’s likely

many of the options you see won’t

work as you’d expect. You can view

ﬁles on your Xoom from a PC at

least, which is a start.

Be careful not to select Always Do

This for This Device, and click Open

Device to View Files.

WHAT IF THE DRIVER DOESN’T INSTALL PROPERLY? If the

installation of the drivers fails, or if you see only a generic device (not

Xoom) listed in your Devices window, from your computer, navigate to

www.motorola.com, click Support > Tablets > Xoom. Click Drivers and

download the latest drivers available. At this time, that’s Motorola

4.9.0 Driver with MotoHelper.

Figure 1-4 When you connect the Xoom

to a PC, you can conﬁgure what you’d like to

happen, although there’s no built-in support

for syncing ﬁles.

Chapter One: How Do I Get Started with the Motorola Xoom?

I’VE ALREADY SET UP MY XOOM BUT I WANT TO START OVER If you

set up your Xoom without knowing exactly what you were doing and now

want to go back to reconﬁgure a few things, you can. Follow these steps:

. From the Xoom’s Home screen, tap the Apps icon.

. Tap Settings.

. Tap Privacy.

. Tap Factory Data Reset.

. Tap Reset Tablet.

Interestingly, while you will lose personal data, third-party email accounts

that you’ve input, pictures and other media you’ve manually copied to your

Xoom from your computer, and photos you’ve taken with your Xoom (but

not uploaded to Picasa or another online service), you won’t lose everything

when you reset your Xoom. For example, you won’t lose the phone number

assigned to your Xoom if you signed up for cellular data service with Verizon,

settings you’ve conﬁgured for “debugging,” and similar information. You also

won’t lose information that is “attached to” your Google account, such as the

apps you purchased or downloaded, and email you saved, calendar informa-

tion you synced, and other data you opted to store “in the cloud” on Google’s

servers (such as pictures or videos). After you reenter your Google account

on your Xoom, that data will be synced back to it.

Creating a gOOgle aCCOUnt

During the setup process, you were prompted to input or create a Google

account. If you don’t already have an account and want to get one from your

desktop computer or laptop, visit http://mail.google.com/mail/signup. If

you’d like to set up an account from the Xoom, keep reading.

Signing Up for a Google Account from the Xoom

There are many ways to create a new Google account from your Xoom. You

can use the Browser to navigate to the signup page noted in the previous

8Xoom Companion

section, or you can simply open any app that requires a Google account to

function properly. This means you can open Gmail, (Google) Talk, Market, and

others and be prompted to create an account or sign in with one. You can also

create a new account in the Seings app from the Privacy tab. In this example,

you use the Gmail app:

. From the Home screen, tap Gmail.

. Tap Create Account.

. Fill in the required information, and click I Accept. Create My Account.

. Choose your desired veriﬁcation option: Text Message or Voice Call.

. Complete the desired information.

. Follow any addition directions to verify your new account.

. From the Home screen, tap Gmail again.

. Enter your new Google account and password.

. Tap Sign In.

. Tap Done.

You’ll receive a welcome email in Gmail when your Inbox ﬁnishes the sync-

ing process, and your new Google account will be synced with other Xoom

apps, including Talk, Market, and others.

Exploring Google Apps and Services

With a Google account conﬁgured, you can now explore the Google apps and

services available on your Xoom. You may be prompted to sign in to these

apps the ﬁrst time you use them, and you’ll sign in with your Google account.

Following are a few of the apps you can ﬁnd on your new Xoom that are con-

trolled and oﬀered by Google:

Gmail—

+ A free web-based email service. You can get email on your

Xoom through the Gmail app, or you can access your mail from any

Internet-enabled device from https://mail.google.com. The Gmail app

is available on the Home screen and is explained in detail in Chapter 5,

“How Do I Get the Most from the Web and Email?”

(Google) Talk—

+ A free communication tool that enables you to send

and receive instant messages and hold video and voice chats with

others. The Talk app is available on the Home screen. Instructions for

Chapter One: How Do I Get Started with the Motorola Xoom?

holding video chats are introduced Chapter 9, “How Do I Best Take,

Share, Manage, and Play Video?”

(Google) Books—

+ An app that you can use as both an e-book reader and

a portal for accessing the Market to make e-book purchases. The Books

app is available on the Home screen and is detailed in Chapter 2, “How Do

I Use the Apps and Features Included with the Motorola Xoom?”

(Google) Calendar—

+ A free calendar you can use to create events and

reminders. Calendar enables you to create and manage multiple calen-

dars as well. The Calendar app is available under the Apps icon on the

Home screen and is detailed in Chapters 2 and 10, “How Do I Use the

Motorola Xoom to Communicate and Work More Eﬃciently?”

(Google) Maps—

+ A free mapping service that can easily determine

where you are and oﬀer information and routes to get to other places.

You can share the information you obtain from Maps with others, too.

The Maps app is available by ﬂicking le one screen and is detailed in

Chapter 2. Figure 1-5 shows where to ﬁnd the Maps app.

Figure 1-5 The Maps app is available one screen

to the right of the Home screen.

10 Xoom Companion

YouTube—

+ A free video-sharing site. You can upload your own video,

rate others’ videos, and more, right from your Xoom. Your Google

account is your YouTube account.

THERE ARE MANY MORE GOOGLE APPS! Many more Google apps

are available than what has been listed here such as Google Docs, Google

Sites, and Google Earth. To see what’s available, visit the Market.

Using External Controls

The Xoom is composed of physical hardware. The CPU, graphics card, and

built-in accelerometer, barometer, and gyroscope, among other things, are

housed inside the device. Your Xoom has hardware available to you on the

outside of the device, too.

They are all called out in the documentation that came with your Xoom,

and you should take a look at that documentation now. However, you abso-

lutely must be familiar with a few pieces of hardware, so if you can’t get your

hands on the original documentation at the present time, you can use the list

here to locate controls you need immediately.

These hardware features are described here as they appear when the Xoom

is in landscape mode:

Volume—

+ The up and down volume keys are located on the top-le

corner of the Xoom, on the outside. Press the top buon to increase

volume and the boom one to lower it. A Volume icon appears on the

screen when you do this.

Speakers—

+ The Xoom’s speakers are located on the back of the device,

toward the top.

Headphone jack—

+ The headphone jack is located at the top of the

device. You’ll likely have to push harder than you’d like to aach

headphones.

Power/Lock—

+ This buon is round and is located on the back of the

Xoom, toward the top. It is close to the volume keys. Press brieﬂy to

lock the Xoom; press and hold for a second or two to have the option
