NFC enrollment is an alternative way to install and configure FAMOC in the Android Device Owner mode. It is supported in devices using NFC and running Android version 6.0 or higher.

  1. Align devices with each other to detect NFC (in most devices it is located at the back). Both devices must have NFC enabled and screens cannot be locked.

  2. Signs of a successful detection are audio feedback and change on the screen of the first device as the view gets smaller and "Touch the beam." appears.
