SIRE 2.0 BYOD Android Setup

Follow these direction to prepare a new or existing i.Safe tablet for SIRE 2.0. During this process you will load applications from the Google Play Store. For devices currently managed by OCIMF, you will have to reset it, and then the setup process will be the same as a new device. 

In all cases it is important to make sure the tablet is fully charged and connected to a power source using the supplied cable through the entire process. This step-by-step guide will help you through this process because there will be a few choices, but in most cases, you should accept the default. 

If you have a new device proceed to “Tablet Setup”

Resetting an OCIMF Managed Tablet

Before you start the reset process: 

1. Ensure you have good Wi-Fi connectivity
2. Confirm that all inspections on your device have been submitted. 
3. Decide if you want to use an existing Google account (e.g., Gmail), and if so be sure to have your credentials ready.

Follow these steps to wipe the device:

1. Start the tablet, it will be locked
2. Enter “0000” as the PIN ten times, after the fifth attempt it will prompt you to wait 15 seconds before you can continue entering the “0000” PIN
3. After the sixth attempt another warning will be displayed alerting you that after four more unsuccessful attempts it will reset and delete all of the data – you will have tap “Ok”
4. Warning will continue until the tenth attempt, the screen will go blank until the i.safe screen appears and the wiping process starts.
5. Be patient and allow the process to finish, when it displays the welcome screen.

              7. To continue, you must review and agree to the End User Licence Agreement and the privacy settings.  When done go ahead and tap “I agree”.

               9. Next, OCIMF requires the device to have a PIN. Set it up by following the on-screen instructions.

               10. The next is to tap “I Agree” to accept the “Hey Google” terms and conditions. You can tap the Skip button if you don’t wish to set.

                 11. Next, the tablet will move to the Anything else page where you can choose to setup a few more things such as adding a new email account, changing how text displays, changing wallpaper, or control info on the lock screen. If you wish to find them later in settings tap “No thanks”
