Can I set up Amara if I'm not there in person?

Can I set up Amara if I'm not there in person?

Yes. There's nothing to set up anyway: the tablet arrives already connected to your Amara Family App. Someone on site only needs to unpack it, put the tablet in the dock and plug it in. If you're using Wi-Fi instead of the internet option, that person also enters the Wi-Fi password on the tablet.

What you can do from anywhere

All in the Amara Family App:

  • create an account
  • adjust Amara for your parents or grandparents
  • invite the family

Tip: Have Amara Home delivered straight to your parents or grandparents

Then you can walk them through unpacking over the phone.

To read aloud over the phone

“Unpack the box. Inside, there's a tablet and a dock.

Put the tablet in the dock. The port faces right.

Plug the long cable into the power adapter, the power adapter into the outlet, and the short cable into the tablet.

Press and hold the button on top of the tablet for a few seconds until it starts up.

That's it.”

No one can help?

Maybe a neighbor or a friend can stop by for a few minutes. Nothing more than unpacking and plugging in is needed.
