How do I properly set up my tablet?

It is essential that your tablet remains properly mounted with the cable wrapped around the headrest rods so that you earn points for driving with the tablet. NYC Drivers-Only: TLC inspectors will monitor the tablet mounting and cords for tripping hazards.

To properly set up your Play Octopus tablet, please complete the following steps:

  • Step 1: Wrap the mount around your passenger headrest and secure it tightly with the clips facing the backseat
  • Step 2: Insert the tablet towards bottom of the headrest with charging port facing the right side
  • Step 3: Secure the tablet in the corner clips by stretching the clips to the four corners of the tablet

  • Step 4: Plug the provided micro-USB cord into the tablet and wrap any extra cord around the bottom of the headrest

  • Step 5: Plug the cable into charging port provided. Then connect to your car for power!

  • Step 6: Finally, hold the power button for five seconds to turn tablet on!

Please note: Your tablet must be properly mounted and plugged in to receive points with Octopus.
