FAQ
Q: How do I exit the app after installing it?
A: When you open the app after the installation (without ever changing the settings) you can show the navigation bar by pressing F1, F2, F3, F2. Press the Home button to exit. (This can be changed in the Kiosk Settings)
Q: Why are the scan or volume buttons not working when using the app?
A: All hardware buttons are blocked by default. You can change that by going to the Kiosk Settings and enabling the keys at Hardware Keys > System keys
We have stopped the ongoing support for the old (< Android 5.0) version of this app used for Nautiz X4 and X8. You can find the latest v2.2.0 of that build here.
