How to Enable Parental Controls on Your Firestick
Here’s how to turn on parental controls on a Firestick:
Switch your TV input to your Firestick and navigate to Settings. Select Preferences. Select Parental Controls. Select Parental Controls OFF. Skip to step seven if this screen says Parental Controls ON and shows a list of controls. Enter your PIN. If you don’t know your PIN or don’t remember setting one up, navigate to amazon. com/pin and set one up. You can’t use Firestick parental controls without a PIN. Select OK to continue. Choose which controls you want to activate. If it says ON underneath a control, that means it’s active. To set specific content restrictions, select Viewing Restrictions. Select your desired viewing restrictions. If there is a lock icon next to a category, your kids won’t be able to watch the corresponding programs without your PIN. Parental controls have been set up, and you’re ready for your kids to use your Firestick.
Here’s how to install and set up FreeTime on your Firestick:
FreeTime is now set up on your Firestick for your child. You can repeat this process to add profiles for additional children if you like, or simply launch FreeTime to switch from regular Firestick mode to FreeTime mode.
As long as the FreeTime app is active, your child will be restricted to appropriate content, and you’ll also enjoy other perks like the ability to limit their screen time.
