How to Set Parental Controls in Samsung Array M390

Parental Controls in Samsung Array M390



Parental Controls

Parental Controls provide restrictions to various phone services such as Voice, Messaging, Data, and Camera. These restrictions are governed by an independent Parental Code

Using Parental Controls

With your phone's parental controls settings, you can disable certain phone services without turning off your phone. You can restrict access to all data services, including Web and text messaging. Disabling data services will avoid any charges associated with these services.

While signed out, you can still place or receive phone calls, check voicemail, and use other voice services. You may enable data services again at any time.

Enable Parental Controls

1. Press > Settings > Parental Controls.
2. Use the navigation keys to toggle Parental Controls On.
3. If this is your first time to setup these controls, you will be asked to setup a parental lock code that manages the areas that will be locked via this menu.
  • Enter a new four-digit Lock code.
  • Re-enter the new code and press DONE (left softkey).
Disable Parental Controls

1. Press > Settings > Parental Controls.
2. Use the navigation keys to toggle Parental Controls Off.
3. Enter your four-digit code and press DONE (left softkey).

Changing the Parental Control Code

You can change your parental control code.

1. Press > Settings > Parental Controls > Change Parental Control Code.
2. Enter a new four-digit Lock code into the keypad.
3. Re-enter the new Lock code and press DONE (left softkey).

Customize Parental Controls Restrictions

Customize your parental controls options, such as preventing outgoing calls, restricting text messaging, Web access, or camera use.

Note: The Parental Control Restrictions that you set on your phone do not reflect those configured on Sprint.com. For online configuration information, sign in to My Sprint, select the My Preferences tab, and select a control feature within Limits and Restrictions.

1. Press > Settings > Parental Controls > Restriction.
2. Read the disclaimer and press CONTINUE (left softkey)
3. Select any of the following buttons to either activate or deactivate an option.

  • Voice Calls to lock the phone and prevent outgoing calls. Incoming calls can still be received.
  • Text Messaging to restrict access to the Messaging folder including Text and Picture messages. You can also choose specific contacts allowed for the user to access.
  • Web to restrict access to all data features such as Internet and other data usage.
  • Camera/Camcorder to restrict access to the Camera functionality.
  • Force Location On to protect GPS activity. Set the feature to On to always enable the GPS feature or Off to never allow access to GPS capabilities.
