Introduction
This User Guide addresses functionality which
is available across a variety of Unbound Medicine products. Your
particular application may include all or some of the functionality
listed below.
System Requirements
Unbound Medicine applications work on all Android-based
devices. For memory requirements, please see the User Guide for the
specific product you are installing.
Activating the
Product
To activate the product or re-install the application
in the future, please download the application over-the-air on your
device's web browser, from Unbound Medicine or from an authorized
reseller.
Installation
While installing, we recommend using a WiFi connection
instead of a cellular network connection, as it will enable faster
downloading. You can turn on your WiFi connection within your Android
Settings application.
Once you have purchased and downloaded the application, it will appear
in the Download History screen in your Android web browser. Tap it
to begin installation.
You will see a list of permissions that the application requires
to work properly:
After the package has finished installing,
launch the application. You will need to enter the log-in information
that you created when you registered your product. At this point,
the update process will begin. This may take several minutes, depending
on the size of your subscribed content. Please leave the application
running while this process takes place.

are available, you will see the Crosslinks icon

which lists all available Crosslinks. The icon appearing
next to each entry identifies the linked resource. To return to the
original resource, use the back arrow on your device.
