Supervised Mode is a special feature on iPhone or iPad devices that allows you to enable and enforce restrictions in such a way that they can't be disabled on that device.

To enable Supervised Mode on your device, you will need to download Tech Lockdown's Supervised Mode Setup tool onto your Mac or Windows computer, then plug in your iPhone (or iPad) into your computer. There are two different versions of this tool, so see instructions under:

• Using Tech Lockdown's Supervised Mode Setup Tool on Mac
• Using Tech Lockdown's Supervised Mode Setup Tool on Windows

Supervised mode is required to use the Device Config Generator.
