How to force restart iPad Pro

To INSTALL the Abacus POS App

 

Open the APPSTORE App on the iPad, search for Abacus, and then download the POS App (solid Blue icon).   

You will need an Apple ID already set up and ready to go.  If you don't have one create one at https://appleid.apple.com

Check the MASTER iPad to see if it's set as a MASTER - under Settings > Connection in Abacus.  If you need to make it the MASTER, it will prompt you for a PIN.  Use today's date.  eg 23rd December would be PIN 2312
