  4. Select "Submit" (at the bottom of the screen)

Parental Controls App InterfaceOnce a profile is created, you can explore its advanced parental features:

  • Use the pencil icon to edit the profile and add a picture if desired
  • Select the Pause "II" icon to disable all devices connected to this profile

  • To bring devices back online select the Play icon

  • Select Add Device to add more devices to this profile

  • Select Remove Device to remove devices from this profile

Note:

If a device has the CommandIQ App, do not add it to a profile, as you may inadvertently cut off your access to these controls. If this happens, switch to mobile data to restart the profile with your app device.
