Follow the images and instructions in order. This guide takes you from the initial Android setup and QR code scanning through the configuration of the Administrator panel and the panel used daily by the child or user.
Start with a new device or one that has been reset to factory settings.
After starting the device, Android displays the initial screen. Choose the language you want to use for setup.
On the initial Android screen, tap 6 times in a row on an empty area of the screen. Android will start QR-code provisioning and open the scanner.
If Android first asks you to connect to a Wi-Fi network, connect the device to the Internet and continue until the QR scanner appears.
Display the VV Kiosk QR code from the Cabinet on another phone or computer, then scan it with the device you are setting up.
After VV Kiosk is installed and configured, set the Administrator PIN. It protects access to administrative functions.
The Administrator panel is where you define how the device can be used.
During the first setup, you do not need to configure every option before starting Kiosk.
After the initial setup, simply press the orange “Start Kiosk” button to begin using the device in controlled mode.
You can later return to the Administrator panel at any time to configure or change modes, schedules, user permissions, apps, and Internet access.
Here you choose which device settings the user is allowed to change from the User panel.
For example, the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, mobile data, brightness, sound, or flashlight options do not indicate whether the corresponding function is currently on or off. They determine whether the user is allowed to change its state.
Create custom modes and define the available features and applications for each one. You can configure different modes based on activities, needs, or how the device is used.
Configure how the device can be used.
Schedule modes to activate automatically on selected days and during specified time intervals. You can create different schedules to adapt device operation to your activities and needs.
Here you choose which apps are displayed and available in the User panel.
App visibility and Internet access are separate settings. An app can be visible to the user while its Internet access is blocked.
For each app available to the user, you can separately decide whether it is allowed to use the Internet.
For example, you can allow the user to see and open an app while blocking its Internet connection.
Important: this setting controls the app's Internet access. Do not confuse it with the Wi-Fi permission in step 06, which determines whether the user can change the device's Wi-Fi setting.
In Kiosk mode, app installation and updates are protected to prevent the user from changing the configuration set by the Administrator.
When the Administrator wants to update existing apps, install new apps from Google Play, or install apps from other permitted sources, installation must first be temporarily unlocked from the Administrator panel.
Press Unlock Google Play. After unlocking, you can open Google Play and perform the required installations or updates.
When finished, lock Google Play again so the user cannot install or modify apps without the Administrator's permission.
Important: unlocking is intended for the Administrator and is temporary. Apps that are already allowed can be used without leaving Google Play unlocked.
This is the panel the user sees during everyday use of the device.
After Kiosk is activated, the child or user uses the simplified interface.
From this screen, the user can access the settings that VV Kiosk makes available in controlled mode.
Returning to administration is protected so that a regular user cannot change the rules set by the Administrator.
VV Kiosk can be removed through a simple procedure available in the administration panel.
After confirmation, VV Kiosk device management is removed and the device is reset to factory settings. This process erases all local data, apps, accounts, and existing settings.
The Android interface may differ depending on the manufacturer and system version. If you cannot find the screen shown in this guide, do not continue by guessing. Contact VV Kiosk support and provide the device model and Android version.
