Editing An Absolute Beginner's Guide for the RP2 (section)

=== Initial boot-up, and connecting to Wi-Fi ===
Your RP2 will take 40 to 50 seconds to boot up. This is normal.

The first time that you turn on your RP2 out of the box, it will boot into Android 6.0. If you have never used an Android device before, this can be a little daunting, but don't worry, as we won't be spending much time with it.

If you press a direction on the d-pad, you will see a square highlight that moves between the various icons on the screen. When in Android mode, the controller's "A" button is used to select items, while "B" is the "back" or "cancel" button. Use the d-pad to select 
the gear icon labelled "Settings", then press the "A" button to confirm. This will open the Android settings menu.

Use the d-pad to select "Wi-Fi" (the highlight will probably start there), then press the "A" button to confirm. Once the Wi-Fi screen has opened, press the "A" button again to turn on your RP2's Wi-Fi. It may take a few seconds before the RP2 starts to scan for Wi-Fi hotspots, so please be patient and don't press the button more than once as this may turn off Wi-Fi.

Once you see the name of your Wi-Fi router on the list, use the d-pad to select it, and press the "A" button to confirm. This will open a pop-up window where you will be able to enter the Wi-Fi password for your router. The virtual on-screen keyboard should open automatically. Use the d-pad to move the blue highlight around the keyboard, and press the "A" button to enter the currently selected character. To switch from letters to numbers and punctuation, select the "123_!" button on the far left of the middle row of the keyboard. To switch back to letters, select the same button, which will now be labelled "Back". When you have entered all of the characters in your Wi-Fi password, move the blue highlight to the keyboard icon button at the top right of the virtual keyboard, and press the "A" button to close it. After that, use the d-pad to select "Connect" at the bottom right of the pop-up window, then press the "A" button to confirm. After a few moments, your RP2 should connect to your Wi-Fi router.

Once your RP2 is connected to the Internet, press the "HOME" button (located to the lower-left of the screen) to return to the Android home screen.
