6. Here are some recommendations for the tablet's settings. These may vary by tablet make and model

  • Uninstall or disable every app except your web browser. This will make updating the tablet much faster.
  • Makes sure screen is always bright
    • Settings > Display > Adaptive brightness = Disabled
  • Keeps screen on 24/7
    • Settings > Display > Screen timeout = Never
  • If someone did end up locking the device by accident anyone will be able to unlock it without asking for help
    • Settings > Security > Screen lock = None
  • Stops notifications from displaying so as not to distract users
    • Settings > Notifications > Display status bar icons = Disabled
  • A setting that will enable Battery maintenance mode
    • Settings > Battery > Battery optimization > Battery protection mode = On
  • Keeps battery charge between 40% - 60% so that battery stays cooler and life is extended
    • Settings > Battery > Battery optimization > Battery maintenance mode = Enabled
