Tablet Setup

Please ensure the following steps are completed before installing StockMate on the Android Tablet. These steps may differ slightly between tablet models.
  1. Turn on the tablet, step through the initial automatic setup if required.
  2. It is highly important to ensure the Tablet Date and Time is correct (this may be visible in Settings, General Management).
    Check the Date/Time regularly, and ensure it is updated if the Tablet is reset or the battery drained.
  3. Connect to a Wi-Fi network. Confirm tablet software is up to date (this may be visible in Settings, Software update). Check for updates, download and install the latest Android update, if required.
  4. Activate GPS capability (this may be visible in Settings, Connections). Ensure the ‘Location’ switch is turned on and follow the prompts if required (you must ‘Agree’ for the Location services to work).
