After you purchase a 2nd Sight system, you must create a Google account to access the Google Play store where you can access and download 2nd Sight apps to your handheld device (Ruggedized Handheld Computer ("RHC") or other handheld device).*
NOTE: 2nd Sight recommends that you create a Google account specifically for your farm. If you create your own account, please record the log in and password information.* DO NOT use your personal account to avoid having personal information appear on the handheld device.
To create a Google account:
- Swipe up on the handheld's main screen to access the apps
- Locate and open the "Settings" icon (gear icon).
- Press "Users & accounts."
- Press "Add Account."
- Press "Google."
- Press "Create Account."
- Enter a First Name and a Last Name. Press "Next" if you're not directed to the next page.
- Enter a birth date and gender. Press "Next" if you're not directed to the next page.
- Choose a recommended Gmail address or "Create a different Gmail address."
- Enter and confirm a Password. Press "Next" if you're not directed to the next page.
- Adding a phone number is optional, add a phone number or press "Skip."
- Press "I agree" to the terms.
IMPORTANT: If you are asked to Backup data to the server, select "No." Data from your handheld backs up to two different places. DO NOT provide any credit card information; 2nd sight does not ask for credit card information.
*Your handheld device may have come from 2nd Sight with the apps already loaded. If this is the case, 2nd Sight created a Google account for you and has the account name and password stored for you. If you believe that 2nd Sight created a Google account for you and you need the log in information, please call 2nd Sight at 509-381-2112 to retrieve your log in and password information.
