Using Fully Single App Kiosk to Schedule Sleep and Wake Times


Depending on your requirements, you can choose to run the CollecTin More connecting to mains power:

Fixed Connection to Mains power
This should only be done via the USB cable for static installation. Use of the booster battery with the cable for this permanently attached to power will eventually cause the battery to fail and create power issues in the device.

While you can leave the CollecTin More switched on permanently for convenience of use, for hardware durability it is best to power the unit down in the evening. Powering down can either be done manually in the evening or by use of scheduled power setting.

Scheduled Power On/Off
To be used with both the Give A Little Menu lock and Fully Single App Kiosk and if you want to leave the CollecTin More running. 

You can use Fully Single App Kiosk to Schedule Power for the device to automatically go to sleep and wake up at set times - for example night time and morning. 

Please note that the sleep function will interact with the Give A Little Software and SumUp sign-in and changes in our partner's software or settings may impact this setting beyond our control.

Many of our customers make use this settings, and you can see if it works for you, however we cannot guarantee the functionality. The below guide explains how. 

Please note that if internet connection is lost, SumUp will log you out of Give A Little as a security feature. This may result in the tablet switching on to a login page.
