Device Setup Guide

Step 1
Powering on your Scribbi
An E-ink screen displays images even when powered off. If you see artwork on the screen, your device is likely asleep or completely powered down.
- Locate the Power Button: Find the power button on the top-left corner of the device.
- Turn It On: Press and hold the power button until the screen refreshes.
- You will briefly see the boot screen, followed by the Scribbi launch screen.

Step 2
Connecting to Wi-Fi
You need an active internet connection to create your parental account and set up the device.
- On the welcome screen, tap Get Started.
- Tap Open Wi-Fi Settings.
- Select your local network from the list of available connections.
- Enter your network password and tap Connect.
Troubleshooting Tip: If you enter the incorrect password, the device will say "Saved" but will display a sub-text message reading "Check password and try again." Tap the network again to re-enter the correct credentials. - Once the status changes to "Connected," tap the Back Button (arrow icon) in the top-left corner to return to setup.

Step 3
Creating your Parent Account and PIN
The parent account secures the tablet, ensuring your children can only access approved content and settings.
Step 1: Account Registration
- Enter the primary parent email address.
- Fill in your First Name and Last Name.
- Provide your phone number.
- Create a secure password.
- Check the box agreeing to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
- Tap Create Account.
Minimize the Keyboard: If the on-screen keyboard blocks the "Continue" button, tap the Return/Enter key on the keyboard, then tap the down-arrow button to slide the keyboard away.
Step 2: Establish a Parent PIN
- You will be prompted to Set a Parent PIN.
- Enter a memorable 4-digit PIN.
Important Note: This PIN is used to authorize new child profiles, access the App Store, and adjust system settings. Keep this PIN private from your children.

Step 4
Creating a Child Profile
Once the parent account is active, you can create customized spaces for each child using the device.
- On the "Who is learning?" screen, tap Add Child.
- Enter your Parent PIN to authorize the new profile.
- Complete the child's details:
Child's Name
Date of Birth
Gender (Optional) - Choose an avatar character from the selection row.
- Tap Continue.

Step 5
Setting up a Child PIN
Every child can have their own personal PIN to log into their profile independently, though parents can always override this with the Master Parent PIN.
- Tap on the newly created child profile icon.
- Enter your Parent PIN to authorize the setup.
- Choose a simple 4-digit PIN for your child that they can easily remember.
- Tap the checkmark icon to confirm. The tablet will load into the child's unique home screen.

Step 6
Managing Apps on the Child Home Screen
You can tailor the exact suite of apps available on each child's device profile.
Adding Apps
- From the child's home screen, tap the Settings icon (or the App Management icon) in the upper corner.
- Enter your Parent PIN to access the App Store.
- Browse the categories (e.g., Creativity, Games, Math, Reading, Social Studies, Tools).
- Tap Free (or the download button) next to an app like Letter Tracing.
- Confirm by tapping Add for Free.
- Tap Add to Home. The app is now ready for your child to use.
Removing Apps
- If you want to temporarily restrict an app (e.g., hiding a notepad or game for a school day), return to the App Store using your Parent PIN.
- Find the active app and tap Remove from Home.
Note: This keeps the app in your device library but hides it from that specific child's profile screen. You can add it back at any time.

Step 7
Settings and Switching Profiles
To cycle between multiple children or edit settings:
- Tap the Profile Switcher/Exit icon in the upper corner of the child's home screen.
- This returns you to the main "Who is learning?" navigation panel, where you can add additional profiles or log into a different child's space.
