Android Installation Instructions 2013

Loading Instructions for FSU CoM Mobile Medical Resources on Android Devices

These instructions assume that you do not have subscriptions to any of the following products. Do the
following before you start:
Turn on Wi-Fi on Android phone
If you have a wireless network available that you can connect your phone to you will be able to install all
your software much faster with fewer problems. If a network is available, then go to Settings on your
Android OS phone and click on Wireless & Networks. Click on Wi-Fi and it will take a second to see what
networks are available. Pick one and it will connect in no time. Please enter the network password if there
is any. Sometimes Wi-Fi networks require a password/network key. If Wi-Fi is not available you can still
download and install software but speeds and time may vary.

software. If so, please open "Settings" then "Applications" and then place a checkmark in the box next to
"unknown sources".
