User's Manual

If someone just wants to use your device temporarily, you can switch your device to
guest mode and enable a guest account for this user. In guest mode, the device
starts up as a freshly installed system with only the pre-installed apps. Once your
guest is finished using your device, you can wipe the session clean so that the next
guest can start fresh.
The user who sets up the device for the first time becomes the owner of the device.
The owner is the administrator or primary user. The owner account cannot be deleted
but the owner can delete any additional user accounts. You can add a maximum of
three regular user accounts. The guest account is pre-installed and cannot be
deleted.
Some features are only available to the owner. For example, only the owner can access the
external SD card.
