If you have a managed handset from us that you'd like to re-allocate to a new carer, this article will guide you through the process of resetting the phone and setting up the new account.

Before you start:

Please ensure you have the listed information before you get started with the process; if you're missing anything or not sure, drop us a line.

  • G-Suite email address and password

    • Email - normally given in the format first-name.<last-name>@<your-subdomain>.carelinelive.com.

    • Password - would be provided to you by the support team.

  • Phone number

    • The last four digits of the phone number must be set as the PIN code for the device.

  • Wi-Fi details

    • Setting up the phone will be faster if connected to your WiFi network.

Factory Resetting the Phone (if required)

If you are working with a brand new handset, you can skip this step. However, if you are reallocating a phone to a new user you will need to Factory Reset the phone first.

First remove the current Google account.

  1. Open the Settings app.

  2. Open Users & Accounts.

  3. Tap the existing account.

  4. Tap Remove Account.

  1. Open the Settings app.

  2. Open System settings.

  3. Press Reset, and then Factory Data Reset.

  4. Press Reset Phone, enter the device passcode, and then Erase Everything.

Once complete the phone will be wiped clean and ready to be set up again.

Setting up the Phone

When the phone is turned on, you will be prompted with a Welcome screen and asked to select your language. Select English (United Kingdom) and continue.

Welcome to your phone

Get connected

Connect to your WIFI network. If the phone has a SIM card you can skip this step if necessary, however we would recommend that you connect to WIFI in order to save mobile data usage.

Press Accept and Continue.

Once the sign in process has finished, you may be asked to agree to Google’s Terms of Service. Click I Agree.

You may then be asked Let's set up your work device. Accept and continue.

How will you use this phone

You will have a choice to set up

  • Use for work only - select
