Pebble usually manages iPads using our Mobile Device Management (MDM) system called JAMF Now. If you’ve chosen to use your own iPads instead, please follow this guide carefully for each iPad before your Go Live day.
Setting up your iPads
Follow the prompts:
Language: English
Country or Region: United Kingdom
Set Up: Choose Set Up Manually
3. Connect to Wi-Fi
Choose your Wi-Fi Network (SSID) and enter the password.
Tap Join.
Wait for a blue tick to appear next to your network, then tap Next.
Using a mobile hotspot?
Make sure Low Data Mode is turned off on your iPhone:
Go to Settings > Wi-Fi
Tap the info (i) next to your hotspot network
Turn off Low Data Mode
4. Set Up Without a Passcode
At the Create a Passcode screen:

This step is essential to ensure all sales are recorded with the correct date and time. If it's not completed before your Go Live, sales may be logged inaccurately, which can impact Free School Meal (FSM) allowances.
