All you need to do is take the tablet out of the box and press & hold the power button for a few seconds to turn it on. The locations of the various buttons & ports are labeled on the back of the unit. If you are not familiar with touch screens, all you do is use your fingers to press whatever item you want, and swipe the screen to move the screen left or right. You can see Android tablet tutorials on Youtube to give basic idea of how tablets work. When you are ready to internet, go to Settings (there should be a setting icon on your screen, or press the regular button on the button that has 3 lines on it); you will see Wi-Fi, then turn it on by sliding the button on the touch screen. It should detect your wireless network and will ask for a security code if it's required. After that, you can go to Google Play Store and search for various apps such as another browser, Kindle app (to read Kindle ebooks), Skype, Netflix, Youtube, games, etc. You will need an adapter to use the HDMI. Note that the cable provided to connect with your computer will NOT charge your device.

This forum was very helpful! I've got mine up and running (it's a lot longer than I expected it to be), but I couldn't have done it without the helpful hints from SirBrad and Peter. Thank you!

My package included instructions inside the box. Apparently you got a package without this. I would go online and see if you can find the instructions that way.

We haven't figured it all out either cause it says you have to purchase the instruction and software seperate. We probably going to have to buy the book. Isn't that a pain. Sorry couldn't be more help.

Look at the email I sent you and there is a PDF attached with all the instructions. Email me directly and I can attach another one if you can't find it.

Learning curve isn't horrible. If you know how to install hard drives, the rest is rather simple. The instructions in the box were *slightly* sparse when I received mine, but you wind up getting more up-to-date information online. This is because the full system software is downloaded, rather than included with the DiskStation, to avoid people running on horribly out-of-date stuff. You WILL need an internet connection during initial setup, since it downloads the current DSM (Disk Station Manager) software from Synology during setup (There is a way to do setup *without* an active connection, but it's not worth the hassle in my opinion). Once the DSM software is installed (which is pretty straightforward), you can go about playing with settings. The onboard help function is pretty solid, and there's a ton of information on the Synology forums. TBH, I don't really have to tinker with it unless I want to add features - it's pretty stable on its own. Everything is run via a browser interface, and you can control the IP address and other basic network features just like you would with a laptop or desktop. For more advanced useage: If you have a server (Windows Server, Linux), the system can be told to look to the server for instructions, access permissions, and other things - this would allow you to do more detailed system control without having to keep track of multiple settings.

Good Luck....I returned two units that I could not even get setup...very poor software and NO, repeat NO support. Unit not ready for the big time.

Julie.......I asked the same question to the vendor, but unfortunately up til now, I haven't heard any response from them. My suggestion to you is to think outside the box, you have to be imaginative on how to install it.

Turtle answered the question the best. You can also youtube some basic setups and more advanced setups as well.

Thanks, Binx. I actually finally got through the tech line at Asus and they gave me the same advice which worked great. The emailed assistance I received was pretty much useless. Now, if I could only figure out how to make a recovery disc with a USB, I would be completely happy. The directions about hitting F9 during boot up don't work at all.

The guy who had mashup took it down. I don't know how to work this box. I download then it says some kind of error. I don't have any channels. Can you help me?

Hello R. Shorrock. The only solution that I can offer would be possibly sending you copies of the manual that I have. Via email perhaps? Unfortunately making my email address public is not an option unless there is a method of getting in contact with you directly. Sorry I couldn't help more.
