It's possible to show Wi-Fi data usage settings in a separate tab. To do so, touch the Menu icon , then Show Wi-Fi usage.
Near the top of the screen, note the on-off switch for mobile data. The instructions that follow assume that
this switch is turned on. If it's off, you won't be able to use mobile data at all and many features of your
Tablet and apps won't work correctly.
Just below the on-off switch, note the data usage cycle. Touch it to choose a different cycle. This date range
is the period of time for which the graph displays data usage.
The vertical white lines on the graph show a period of time within the data usage cycle. This range
determines the usage amount displayed just below the graph. Drag lines to change the period.

 Drag the orange line by its right side to the level where you want to receive a warning.
When your data usage reaches this level, you'll receive a notification.

The red line at the top of the graph activates, so you can drag it up or down.
3. Drag the red line by its right side to the limit you want to set.
When your data usage reaches the limit, mobile data will be turned off automatically and many features of your Tablet won't work
correctly. You'll receive a notification when this occurs.
Important
The usage displayed on the data usage settings screen is measured by your Tablet. Your carrier's data usage accounting may differ.
Usage in excess of your carrier plan's data limits can result in steep overage charges. The feature described here can help you track your
usage, but is not guaranteed to prevent additional charges. For best results, set a conservative limit.
View or restrict data usage by app
Some apps transfer data in the background; that is, when you're not actually using the app, it may download data for future reference.
Restricting background data usage for individual apps can sometimes be a useful way to reduce your overall data usage. However, this
is a drastic measure that may also affect the app's performance or cause it to malfunction. Check whether data usage can be restricted
from the app's own settings (available from within the app) before restricting it here.
