Turning on your device:

Press the button on the right side of the device to turn it on, continue to hold the button for a few seconds while the device starts up.

It takes a few minutes to fully load.  

When you see the opening screen with the Admire logo and a picture of a boy sitting at a desk, you are in!

There are two buttons on this screen (Admire Pro & NFC Write) plus the settings option.

The Admire Pro App:

To use the Action Pad to take attendance and for staff sign-in select the "Admire Pro" button.

You will be prompted "Please insert your NFC Card." 

Take your fob and place it flat on the black plastic part of the Action Pad below the screen.  (Do not place it on the screen itself.)  You may need to move the fob around to trigger it.

The Action Pad will read the fob and you will feel a slight buzz.

The fob will automatically log you onto your Admire Adrenaline account.

It will open to the Adrenaline Classroom Mode home-screen.
