Setup Proport for Shipping

Getting a proport ready for involves a handful of tasks.

 

Charge up the tablet for a few hours. Write down the serial number for tracking.

  • Tablets usually come from customer/factory nearly dead. A nearly dead tablet may not operate correctly. 3-4 tablets should be on standby just in case.

Create a Google Account for the tablet (delete the old account if present)

  • Normally when creating a Google account, you need a verification phone number. Using your Android phone (possibly iPhone) you can create a Google Account without verification. Set the credentials aside for a moment. Delete the account from your phone.
