Key Features

Parent Settings

To enter Parent Settings, touch the Parents icon on the second page of your child’s home screen. From Parent Settings, you can control the way your child plays by adding or removing apps, setting time limits, managing access to the Web, and adjusting device settings.

Adding or Removing Apps
Browse the Learning Lodge® store for a selection of age-appropriate educational apps that have been approved by VTech learning experts. If you’re looking for common Android apps from outside of the VTech ecosystem, go to Device Settings and select Get More Apps to find instructions to install a third-party app store. You can manage apps and content through the following options:

• Storage Manager–Manage your device’s memory.
• VTech App Manager–Download or uninstall any content purchased from Learning Lodge®. You can also uninstall some of the apps that are included with the system.
• App Settings–Give permission for third-party apps you download to appear on your child’s home screen.

Setting Time Limits

Select Time Controls to limit the amount of time your child can play per day or to mark certain hours of the day as off limits.

Managing Web Access

This Web browser is OFF until enabled through the passcode-protected App Settings. Although VTech makes every effort to ensure a kid-friendly browsing environment, the content of individual websites may change without VTech’s knowledge. Please be sure to monitor your child’s online experience and keep your passcode secret.

If you forget your Parents passcode, go to the passcode screen and enter 9876543210. We’ll send a message to the email address provided at registration.
