Restore Device

You may need to replace an iPad because you are upgrading the hardware or an existing device is damaged.

Here are the instructions for installing LinkPOS on a new iPad and replacing and existing iPad that won't be used anymore.

1. Install the LinkPOS app
   1. Open Safari on the iPad
   2. Go to https://linkpos.net/app
   3. Click the Current Build
2. Trust Olympus Technology Group from the iPad settings app so you can run the LinkPOS app
   1. Here are the instructions on how to do this
3. Open the LinkPOS app
4. Select "Log in to your account"
   
5. Enter the credentials for your store and touch Login. If you don't know the company/store/password for your location contact LinkPOS support to get these values
   
6. Select "Restore an existing device"
   
7. The app will get a list of all the existing devices from the LinkPOS server. Select the device you are replacing from the list.

LinkPOS app access rights

During installation of the LinkPOS app the iPad will pop up dialogs and ask for permissions. You need to accept all of the permissions. You can select the "Only while using the app" options but always allow the permissions.
