Before Launching Chateau Mobile
We recommend you to check the following settings on your handheld if you are launching Chateau Mobile on it for the first time:
-
Ensure your time zone and date/time are accurate.
-
Adjust screen timeout to your preference.
-
If there is no SIM card, set to Airplane Mode.
-
Do not set to Dark Theme.
- Note: If you are on an Android device, search “dark theme” in Settings.
- Note: If you are on an Android device, search “dark theme” in Settings.
-
If the Location Description is cut off on the Tag View screen, try making the font smaller on your device.
For Android devices, go to the Settings app and search “Font.” This should bring you to a section allowing you to reduce the overall font size on your device.
