1. Turn the device on and wait for the message “Hello” in different languages.

   1. On the Choose a Wi-Fi Network screen, log in to the appropriate Wi-Fi network.

      Depending on your testing environment, you might have an open Wi-Fi network and a closed WiFi network. The closed Wi-Fi network is generally used in testing environments for content, URL filtering, and blocking update servers. When you first set up iOS devices, they usually need to be on an open Wi-Fi network because there will be several stock Apple apps that you need to download.

   2. If a trust certificate popup window appears, tap Trust.

      After logging into the appropriate Wi-Fi network, the device will need a moment to load.

   3. On the Data & Privacy screen, tap Continue.

      • Battery Health & Charging > Optimized Battery Charging

      • Battery Health & Charging > Clean Energy Charging

      • Power mode > Adaptive Power

      • Power mode > Low Power Mode

   3. (iOS 17 only) To avoid test disruption after upgrading a device to iOS 17, under General > Airdrop, make sure that the Bringing Devices Together toggle is turned off.

         The options under Auto-Lock may be different depending on your company’s security policies. Consider setting this to the longest possible setting. The longer the time, the less likely a user will idle on the device for too long and send it into error.

   6. Under Safari > Advanced, confirm that both JavaScript and Web Inspector are turned on.

1. Return to the home screen and confirm that all apps have downloaded on the first and second home screen pages.

2. If any apps are still loading or waiting, tap each of them. This should prompt the device to start downloading these apps.

3. When all apps have downloaded, if your testing environment uses a closed Wi-Fi network, change from the open Wi-Fi network to the closed Wi-Fi network, as follows:

   1. On the Settings screen, under Wi-Fi, tap the Wi-Fi network that the device is currently connected to.

   2. On the network screen, tap Forget This Network, and then, to confirm, tap Forget.

   On the Devices tab, the device should show up with a status of Ready to connect.

   1. Unplug the device, restart it, and check all settings.

   2. Plug the device back in and wait another 5-10 minutes.

   3. If the device still doesn't show up, replace the cable.
