   5. Once installation is complete, open the TeamViewer QuickSupport application.
   6. Review the TeamViewer agreements and select Agree and continue.
   7. QuickSupport is now installed and ready to use.
2. Prepare for a remote support session
   1. When a Cargas Energy Support Consultant needs to connect to the tablet, open the TeamViewer QuickSupport app.
   2. Locate the TeamViewer ID displayed in the application.
   3. Provide this TeamViewer ID to your Support Consultant, or follow the specific session instructions they provide.
   4. When prompted within TeamViewer, select Allow access to approve the remote session.
   5. If Android displays an additional screen-sharing prompt, select Start now to allow screen sharing.
   6. Keep QuickSupport open while your Support Consultant establishes and maintains the connection.
3. Verify access and handle additional permissions
   1. Confirm that the Support Consultant can view and, when supported by the device, control the tablet for troubleshooting.
   2. Be aware that the user must approve the connection before Cargas Energy Support can access the device.
   3. If TeamViewer prompts for an additional add-on or special permissions (based on the tablet manufacturer or Android version), follow the on-screen instructions from TeamViewer QuickSupport.
   4. Note that some Android devices may support screen sharing but not full remote control; in these cases, the consultant can still view the screen for troubleshooting.

If screenshots would improve understanding, consider adding images showing: (1) the TeamViewer QuickSupport listing in the Google Play Store, (2) the TeamViewer agreements screen with the Agree and continue button, and (3) the TeamViewer ID display and Android screen-sharing prompts. Upload these images using the Insert Image tool.
