Tablet / Device Tips

Remember to turn the tablet’s Auto lock / Auto Sleep feature in Settings to ‘Never’

so this does not interrupt script reading when there may be very little use of the
touch screen.

For the same reason it may also be wise to turn off the Cellular, SMS and Email
functions / notifications of the device before the prompting session.

Amend the prompting text before pairing the Bluetooth remote control with the cell
phone / tablet as the device on screen keyboard will be disabled once paired.

You also need to check you have enough battery life left in your tablet to run
through the current prompting session.
