Here’s how to access the Android Device Manager from the Google Play website: After you log into the website within your preferred browser, click or tap the Settings button in the upper right corner of the screen (it has a black gear icon) and then click or tap Android Device Manager from the drop-down menu.

After you tap the checkbox, the Unknown Sources window appears and reminds you that by tapping the OK button in the window, you’re responsible for any damage to your device including loss of data.
By default, the Verify Apps checkbox is checked so the Tab 4 will warn you about apps it thinks is harmful before you install them. If the Tab 4 thinks the app you want to install is so harmful that it will damage your device, the Tab 4 won’t install the app at all. If you don’t want to verify apps and take your chances, tap the Verify Apps checkbox to clear it.
