Step 1
Unbox your device, plug it in and turn it on.
Tap the device screen 7 times in a row in quick succession to open the QR scanner.

 

Step 2
The QR Scanner on your device should now be open. Please scan the unique enrolment QR code which should have been provided to you by an LA at your organisation.
If you do not have an enrolment QR code, please contact a Local Administrator at your organisation.

Step 3
Once the QR code has been scanned, your device will need to connect to a Wi-Fi network. Select a network to connect to from the options provided to you.

 

Step 4
You will be informed that your device is owned by your organisation. Select Next to progress with the enrolment process.

Step 9
Depending on your specific device, you may be asked at this step to accept some current privacy settings. If you are happy to accept the settings specific to your device, select Next to progress with the enrolment process.

 

Step 10
You will be asked to accept Google’s Terms of Service and to choose whether you wish to send usage statistics and crash reports to Google or not. If you wish, you can read the Terms of Service.
