style.

Updating Your TouchChat Software

We are required to ship devices locked and with access to
only communication software, when required by a funding
source. With Android™ and Microsoft® Windows® tablets, we
are able to provide access to Wi-Fi that allows us to update
the communication software without providing a way to exit
the communication software, but that is not possible with an
iOS® system at this time. If this capability becomes available,
we will certainly work with our software teams to make this
happen. Until then, you can contact Saltillo Sales to unlock
the system for $25, update the software through Wi-Fi, and
lock it again/put it into Guided Access®. It's possible our
competitors have different interpretations of the regulations
®
than we do, but we cannot change our policies to
accommodate their interpretations if they are different from
what we believe to be true.
