Review these final tasks identified by our install teams to ensure your data is accurate and you are ready for your first feeding with FeedComp.

⚠️ **IMPORTANT:** Have you completed your [Pre-Installation Checklist](docId:10mZSqo9Ndlv_hHGJKc-X)?  Use it to get your devices, scales and hardware ready for your install and first feeding.

### Feed Team

- [ ] Ensure every feeder has logged into FeedComp at least once and confirmed their 6-digit PIN.
- [ ] We recommend having your feed team scheduled and onsite for your first feeding with FeedComp so they can learn the new workflow and ask their install tech questions. 
- [ ] Ensure feeders know the device login if one is required.

💡**TIP:** Leave a note in the tractor cab with FeedComp login details so feeders can find them quickly.

### Devices

- [ ] Make sure that each device is **not **set to lock. See [Device Settings](docId\:M7-Q0g-vdJ3MOSBGIaJKk) to learn more about keeping devices unlocked during feeding. 
- [ ] Confirm each device is 100% charged before feeding.
- [ ] Confirm that the only Bluetooth connection is to the scale. Disconnect any other devices. 
- [ ] Android Permissions: Confirm FeedComp location permission is set to **Allow only while using the app** with **Use precise location** enabled, and **Remove permissions if app is unused**" toggled OFF.
- [ ] Verify the device is refreshing with PULSE and feed data is current. 
- [ ] Confirm no other apps are running on the device.

### Scale Indicator

- [ ] Test the Bluetooth connection between the device and the scale. 
- [ ] Confirm the feeder knows how to manually zero out the scale.
