The display should automatically change to show a large, blue spinning globe (this means that your new iPhone has detected the IT Configurator iPhone)

Give your new iPhone a few mins and it should be all done! There will be an option to Erase iPhone - please click this and let me know when its complete. There is 1 more setting I have to do on my side before you finally set up your phone
