Open System Devices: Updating the TouchChat Application
Software
We are required to ship devices locked and with access to only communication software, when required
by a funding source. With Android™ and Microsoft® Windows® tablets, we are able to provide access to
Wi-Fi that allows us to update the communication software without providing a way to exit the
communication software, but that is not possible with iPad software at this time. If this capability
becomes available, we will certainly work with our software teams to make this happen. Until then, you
can contact Saltillo Sales to unlock the system for $25, update the software through Wi-Fi, and lock it
again/put it into Guided Access.
It’s possible our competitors have different interpretations of the regulations than we do, but we cannot
change our policies to accommodate their interpretations if they are different from what we believe to
be true.
