Accounts and Messaging
Set up accounts on your tablet, to synchronize information between your tablet and accounts.
Many of your tablet
’s applications, such as Gmail, Google Maps, Google Talk, and the Google
Play Store, require a Google account. To use these applications, you must set up your Google
account on your tablet. Setting up your account on your tablet syncs your tablet and your online
Google account.

If you do not already have a Google account, you can create one online or using your tablet.

Play Store, you do not need to use Gmail as the default account for your tablet.
