TABLET CONTROL · LEVEL 1

A simple, locked tablet

A kids’ tablet locked to the apps and games you choose. You change it on the tablet in parent mode.

What you need

• An Android tablet in a sturdy case. iPads are not supported. Tested models will be listed here.
• A computer once, for setup: a Windows laptop or desktop, your own, a family member’s or a borrowed one you may install a small program on. Many library and work computers block that, so ask first.
• A USB‑C cable that carries data (some cables only charge) and a couple of GB free on the computer.

How setup works

1. Setup erases the tablet, so we suggest one set aside for this. If your child already uses it, save its photos and files first, and we’ll help.
2. Download our free setup kit onto the computer (the kit is in preparation), plug the tablet in, and follow the steps.
3. Pick the voice, test the sound, and choose the apps.

Good to know: with on-tablet parent mode, things like YouTube mean taking the tablet and unlocking it each time. Phone Control avoids that.

Keep a grown-up’s way back in. Check that an adult can open the controls before you turn on the lock.
