PURPOSE

Software updates are applied to the tablets overnight. When tablets are powered off, updates don't take effect. By leaving our tablets on and charging overnight, we'll be able to keep their software up to date, which will help improve security and performance.


PROCESS

  1. Inventory your tablet docks/chargers.
    • If you do not have enough docks/chargers for every tablet at your store
    • Place orders for enough extra power supplies from Hotshop for Mister Tablets or Amazon for Micrologic Tablets, as needed:
      • Mister Tablet cradle in Hotshop: T1190 Battery Charger Mobile Demand.  Supplier Item: 8PIN-BAT-CHRGR
      • Micrologic Tablet chargers: Amazon.com: Accessory USA AC 100V-240V Converter Adapter DC 12V 2A Power Supply US Plug 4.0mm x 1.7mm : Electronics.
  2. Once you have enough docks/chargers, start leaving your tablets on and charging overnight every night at close of business.
  3. Mister IT will monitor all stores to ensure their tablets are being charged overnight to receive future software updates
