# Mobile Farm: Quick Start

1. [Add a device](#add-device).
2. [Start testing](#start-testing).
3. [Finish working with the device](#finish-working-with-device).

## 1. Add a device \{#add-device}

1. In the [control panel](https://my.selectel.ru/mobile-farm/), on the top menu, click **Products** and select **Mobile Farm**.

2. Go to the **Devices** section.

3. Click **Add device**.

4. Select the number of devices you need.

5. If you need a device that is not in the list, [create a ticket](https://my.selectel.ru/tickets/create/), and we will consider adding it.

6. In the **Price** block, select the [billing period](/mobile-farm/about/payment.mdx#billing-option-types):

   * per-minute;
   * hourly;
   * 1-month subscription.

7. Read the [Terms of Use for individual services: Mobile Farm](https://files.selectel.ru/docs/ru/conditions-mobile-farm.pdf) document.

8. Select the **I accept the Mobile Farm rental terms and understand that I need to delete the device to stop charges** checkbox.

9. Click **Add**. The devices will be ready for use when their [status](/mobile-farm/manage/device-statuses.mdx) changes to `ACTIVE`.

## 2. Start testing \{#start-testing}

We do not recommend:

* disable **USB Debugging** mode;
* remove the **MFService** app.

If you performed one of these actions by mistake, data from the device will stop being transmitted to your screen, and the device will become unavailable. To resume working with the device, [create a ticket](https://my.selectel.ru/tickets/create/).

1. In the [control panel](https://my.selectel.ru/mobile-farm/), on the top menu, click **Products** and select **Mobile Farm**.
2. Go to the **Devices** section.
3. In the device row, click the device manufacturer and model. For other users of your mobile farm, the device will have the status `BUSY` — they will not be able to use this device.
4. Open the **Applications** tab.
5. Select the application file or drag and drop it into the upload area. The application will appear in the device management window.
6. Optional: to speed up the streaming, lower the video quality on the toolbar above the device management window. The default value is 80%.

## 3. Finish working with the device \{#finish-working-with-device}

When you have finished testing the application on a mobile device, finish working with it so that the device becomes available to other Mobile Farm users.

After you finish working, all installed applications will remain on the device. If necessary, uninstall them yourself before finishing your session with the device. Screenshots and logs will be automatically deleted.

To finish working with the device, go to another page. For example, return to the mobile farm devices page.

If you and other Mobile Farm users no longer plan to use the device, you can [delete it](/mobile-farm/manage/delete-device.mdx).
