1
Connect Google Account
Already clicked your activation email? Great.
If not, open it now and use the link to connect your Google Account for access to remote management. You can do this later if you prefer
2
Set up your phone
Turn the phone on and follow the on-screen instructions, including connecting your Google account to manage the phone over the internet.
You’ll also create a Parent Password which protects the sensitive settings.
3
Check the content filters
By default, your phone applies “moderate” filters for harassment, rude words and nudity. You can view and edit those filters at Settings > SafetyMode Settings.
4
Choose apps for your child:
Tap “Apps” to set which apps are available and download more from Google Play.
Note that if you use your own Google account for Google Play (or any other app) then your child will be signed into your Google account throughout the Other phone. That’s a bad idea! It’s best to give them their own Google account.
5
Save yourself as a “Favourite” (Optional)
Make yourself easy to call or text by saving yourself as a contact in the Contacts app. Then tap “Favourites” on the menu and add yourself as a Favourite for calls and texts.
That’s all! Your phone is good to go. Your child can customise the phone design without doing any harm and you can manage the phone on the web at SafetyMode.com.
Have fun! And let us know how you get on 🙂
