"Please turn on Wi-Fi or enable cellular data for RxPhoto" Alert

"Please turn on Wi-Fi or enable cellular data for RxPhoto" Alert

RxPhoto requires internet connection to securely login and access RxPhoto features and client records stored in the RxPhoto HIPAA compliant cloud server. There are two ways that a device may access the internet: Wi-Fi or Cellular Data. 

If the "Please turn on Wi-Fi or enable cellular data for RxPhoto" alert appears, the device is not connected via Wi-Fi, and Cellular Data mode in RxPhoto has not been turned on. Please check the device's Wi-Fi connection, or enable Cellular Data mode for RxPhoto (jump to "Enable Cellular Data for RxPhoto). 

Note: The "Please turn on Wi-Fi or enable cellular data for RxPhoto" alert will never appear on a device that does not have Cellular Data functionality (for instance, iPads that are Wi-Fi only.)
