Plug in a USB cable, or
join the same router as the PC

USB cable

Plug it in and the PC program turns the tablet into your pad and connects. Each PC installs a USB driver the first time.

Wi-Fi

On the same router, it connects without a cable. The first time, check that the PC and the tablet show the same number, then allow it.

Unplugging

If you have connected to that PC over Wi-Fi before, it carries on over Wi-Fi. Plug back in and it returns to the cable.

Get started

You only do this once. If a reply to your question says "see USB 3", it means this number.

Help

I plugged in the cable and nothing happens for a while

The first time on each PC, installing the USB driver takes a few minutes (USB 3). A card at the bottom right of the PC screen shows how far it has got; keep the cable plugged in until it's done. Charge-only cables don't connect, so check that your USB-C cable carries data.

The app says "Turn on USB debugging"

The PC program uses USB debugging to switch the tablet into cable mode. Turn it on as in Tablet 2.

Buttons don't reach some windows

Windows keeps other programs' input away from windows running as administrator (Task Manager, for one). When that happens, the tablet tells you, with the window's name.

The Wi-Fi connection drops

Android stops an app's network traffic when the screen goes off or the app goes to the background. Open the app again and it reconnects by itself. While the pad is open, the screen stays on (you can change this in the app's settings).

I also use Byscreen or Cross

One cable serves one app at a time. Open Bypad on the tablet and tap the button that reads like 'Switch from Byscreen to Bypad' to bring the cable over.

My work PC asks for an administrator password

Installing the USB driver the first time needs administrator rights. Ask your IT team. Over Wi-Fi only, it doesn't ask.

I want to move my buttons to another tablet

On the app's profiles screen, tap 'Export to a file', then on the other tablet tap 'Import from a file' and choose that file.

I want to report a problem

Type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Bypad into File Explorer's address bar and email us the host.log file there. It records what happened.
