Create a Restricted Profile

Simple-to-use parental controls help create a “kid-safe” experience on your NOOK. Using parental controls, you can limit the types of content that child profiles can view and purchase. You set up parental controls when you create a child profile. You can adjust them later if you like by editing the child profile.

Using parental controls, you can control whether or not a specific child profile can:

1.From a Home screen, tap Apps > Settings.

3.Tap User (restricted profile). You will be prompted to set up a screen lock if one is not yet set up.

5.Tap the profile’s placeholder name at the top of the screen and assign the profile a name.

6.After selecting the preferred applications, tap Back to save.

Set up a Child Profile

1.From a Home screen, tap Apps > Settings.

2.Tap Users, and tap the New restricted account, labeled Not set up, to open the new profile.

3.From a Home screen, tap NOOK Shop, and sign in to the primary profile’s NOOK account.

4.From a Home screen, tap Apps > NOOK Settings.

5.Tap Profile > Add and enter a name, and tap This is a child profile. Follow the prompts and restart the device.

Note: After restarting the device, please sign in to the primary profile and confirm that the content preferences have been saved for the new child profile. (See the section Manage Parental Controls for a Child Profile for detailed instructions.)
