What is MLock?
MLock is a pre-installed application, developed by Mimo Monitors, with the capability to “lock down”
your device by securely disabling physical buttons and the touchscreen. MLock supports two
methods of locking down your device. The first method is by configuring MLock to launch your
custom application that will take control of the device. The second method is by using one of
MLock’s two Play Modes, Video Player or Web Viewer, to display video content or lock the browser
to a URL that you provide. Mimo Monitors also offers an MLock SDK that can be used to bundle
Mimo services into your application.
MLock Configuration Example:
MLock gives preference to the user selected application by default. This means that if an
application is selected, it will launch even if an MLock Play Mode is also selected (see Config 4 in
Table 1, below). This can be defeated by enabling the MLock Auto Start option. If selected, MLock
will auto start into whichever MLock Play Mode is selected even if an application is also selected
(see Config 3 in Table 1, below).
Table 1 - MLock Configuration Example
MLock Installation and Operating Instructions:
1. Using the APKinstaller/File Explorer application to install Installer_MLock_v1.0.apk onto
the Android Tablet (your file may be a newer version). MLock may also be pre-installed
during manufacturing. The MLock icon can be found on the main application menu.
2. Start the MLock Installer. The system will reboot and the landing page for MLock will open
to a white screen with the phrase “No Playable File”. Press and hold the top right corner of
the display for 5 seconds as shown in the first picture below.

Default App:
This feature sets an application to launch when the device is powered-on, provided MLock Auto
Start is disabled. Click on Start App and select an option from the list that appears. NOTE: For the
application to take control of the device (i.e. launch into the application), the device MUST be
power cycled after configuration. This is unlike either MLock Play mode which can be launched by
simply clicking on the MLock icon (from home screen) or the Return button from the MLock
Console.
NOTE: All navigation will be handed off to the designated
application. To disable automatic run at boot select “No
Auto Start” from the Start App pulldown list or disable the
Auto Start button. The selected application should be
written with some way to exit, otherwise, navigation may be
impossible, even for authorized users.
Caution: Android native navigation options are available
through the device Settings. These include Settings à
Display àHide Status Bar and Settings àPhysical Button
Manager. BE CAREFUL WITH THESE SETTINGS OR
YOU CAN DISABLE ANY WAY TO NAVIGATE. Hiding the
Status Bar or disabling physical buttons may be desirable
however without a properly written application, the only way
to exit may be using safe mode or even a factory reset.

Return Button Lock:
When enabled, this feature will prompt the user for a password when exiting a screen that has been
locked by MLock (regardless of which Playback Mode is selected). More specifically, if the Home button
(located on the back of the tablet) is enabled and used to escape the locked screen, you will be prompted
for a password. Additionally, you will be prompted for a password when exiting the MLock Console via the
Home icon. The default password is 0000.
