IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PARENTS – PLEASE READ!
Your system offers a variety of exciting features, but not all of them may be suitable for children.
We have prepared special steps to make your system safe for your child.
During the initial setup of your system, you will be asked to set Parental Controls. Touch SET to begin,
then follow the on-screen instructions. You can set various restrictions, including restricting software
by age rating, preventing internet access, restricting shopping services, preventing image/video
sharing, preventing online interaction and more.
Choose a PIN code to ensure that your child cannot change the settings you made.
To use Parental Controls or to change the settings after the initial setup has been completed, open
the System Settings from the HOME Menu and select PARENTAL CONTROLS.
In addition, you can restrict your child' s use of Nintendo Network™ services from PCs, smartphones
and other devices. This option will be offered automatically when a Nintendo Network ID is first
created or linked, and can be changed at any time by touching ACCESS FROM PCS AND OTHER
DEVICES in the Nintendo Network ID Settings. Please also make sure that you have set up a PIN code
in Parental Controls as detailed above to ensure that your child cannot make changes to settings.
