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
You can connect your CollecTin More to mains power, which we recommend be done via the USB cable for static installation. Using the booster battery with the micro usb cable permanently attached to power will eventually cause the battery to fail and create power issues in the device.

For hardware durability it is best to power the unit down in the evening. Powering down can either be done manually or by use of scheduled power setting in the Fully Single App Kiosk app.


The Fully Single App Kiosk is an app that is designed to secure your CollecTin More and stops people from accessing and changing the settings on the tablet.


Scheduled Power On/Off
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. The below guide explains how. 

Please note that if internet connection is lost, SumUp may log you out of the Give A Little app as a security feature. This may result in the tablet displaying the Give A Little login page. To get away from this page and reestablish internet connection you need to switch off the Fully Single App Kiosk (instructions for your model towards the end of this article)
