Fully Single App Kiosk for Model 4G A12 / A13 - September 2023 & November 2024

TABLE OF CONTENTS



Start Kiosk Mode (Recommended for continuously running the device)


This mode prevents anyone from leaving the Give A Little app, accessing the tablet’s settings or powering it off (IF you want to change these, go to https://collectin.com/pages/support , tap on 'Search our Knowledge Base’ and enter ‘Unlock Power Button’ into the search bar). 

 

It also has a ‘Wakeup and Sleep’ function to shut the device off between a specified interval (this is on by default and set to sleep between 01:00-06:45am). Please run your CollecTin More using these functions, instructions on how to change times below.


To turn ON Kiosk Mode:

  • Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and tap on the circle icon in the bottom middle to return to the home screen
  • From there, swipe up anywhere on the screen to access the apps drawer
  • Tap on the ‘Fully Single App Kiosk’ app icon (blue ‘f’)
  • [IF the app ask for permissions] :

    • Tap ‘OK’
    • [IF the ‘Let app always run in background’ pop-up appears] Tap ‘ALLOW’
    • Tap on ‘Activate this device admin app’
    • Tap on ‘Allow modifying system settings’ (the switch on the right should turn teal)
    • Tap the triangle icon at the bottom left of the screen or the arrow at the top left until you are back to Fully’s main screen
  • [RECOMMENDED ‘Wakeup and Sleep’ function] To adjust the ‘Wakeup and Sleep’ functions:

    • Swipe in from the left side of the screen to open the Fully menu
    • Select ‘Settings’, then ‘Power Settings’
    • Tap on ‘Schedule Wakeup and Sleep (PLUS)’ and edit the default times to suit your preferences or tap on the rubbish bin icon to disable the function altogether; you can also add multiple wakeup and sleep times by tapping on the blue ‘ADD ANOTHER TIME’ button at the bottom left of the screen.
    • Tap the triangle at the bottom left of the screen until you are back to the Fully Single App Kiosk ‘Quick Settings' screen and carry on with the rest of the steps
  • Set Kiosk Pin (IMPORTANT) 

    • Next to ‘Kiosk Exit PIN’ there is a box with the unlock PIN code (‘1111’ by default)
    • Tap on that box and type in a new one
    • Write the new PIN somewhere safe and onto your printed Quickstart Guide (a lost pin requires you to purchase a new Fully Single App Kiosk licence)
  • Tap ‘START KIOSK MODE

  • Make sure the Test Mode toggle is off (grey) and select ‘YES’ on the confirmation pop-up
  • From the ‘Select a Home app’ menu, tap on ‘Fully Single App Kiosk’ (NOT Quickstep) 
  • On the “Hmmm… One more try!” pop-up tap ‘RETRY’ 
  • Tap ‘Always’ on the “Use Fully Single App Kiosk as Home”
  • You will now be taken to the Give A Little app



Stop Kiosk Mode (To access tablet settings if Kiosk Mode is active)

  • Tap the screen 7 times in a quick succession (do not panic if it doesn’t work the first time, you have to do it at a fast even pace and it takes a bit of practice; alternatively, you can try tapping it 8-9 times in case one touch doesn’t get recognised) 
  • Enter the custom PIN you’ve set and tap ‘OK’
  • At the bottom of the screen tap ‘STOP KIOSK MODE’
  • Tap ‘DISABLE KIOSK MODE’ to confirm
