the SD card installed in your tablet and the internal device storage.

Turning off media storage mode

used as USB drives. While the tablet is in media storage mode, you cannot use applications that
involve saving or retrieving files on the SD card or the internal device storage, such as camera
or music playback. Turn off media storage mode to allow the tablet to recognize the SD card
and the internal storage.

Bluetooth
