IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PARENTS
Parental Controls
Nintendo Switch offers a variety of exciting features. However, as a parent, you might want to restrict certain
things which you deem unsuitable for children. We have prepared special steps to enable you to make
Nintendo Switch safe for your family.
Nintendo Switch Parental Controls are available on the console itself and can also be controlled by an app on
your smart device. During the initial setup of your console, you can select how you would like to set Parental
Controls. Follow the on-screen instructions to finish setting Parental Controls.
On the console itself, you can use a PIN to set and change your desired Parental Controls settings. Your PIN can
also be used to temporarily disable Parental Controls if you should wish to do so.
You can also change your settings at any time – even when you are away from home – using the dedicated app.
Purchase Restrictions in Nintendo eShop
In order to restrict Nintendo eShop purchases, you must associate your child's Nintendo Account with your
Nintendo Account. Access your Nintendo Account on a smart device or PC to create an account for your
child or associate an existing account with yours and set restrictions as you deem appropriate in the Nintendo
Account settings.
Using the Joy-Con Controllers (not applicable to Nintendo Switch Lite)
Charge and pair controllers before using them for the first time. You can charge and pair controllers by attaching
them directly to the console or using the Joy-Con charging grip (HAC-012) (sold separately).
To charge the controllers fully when they are attached to the console, ensure that the console is charging at the
same time.
When playing with a Joy-Con detached from the console, make sure to use a Joy-Con strap accessory. To attach
a Joy-Con strap accessory, match the + or – Button on the controller with the same
symbol on the accessory. Slide the Joy-Con strap accessory onto the controller
and lock it using the slide lock. Then, put on and tighten the wrist strap. Hold the
controller securely and do not let go of it. Allow adequate room around you during
gameplay. When you are done playing, release the slide lock before detaching the
accessory from the Joy-Con.
When attaching a Joy-Con to the console or attaching a Joy-Con strap accessory,
make sure that you orientate the Joy-Con correctly and slide it into place until you
hear a clicking sound. When detaching a Joy-Con from the console or another device,
make sure that you hold the button on the back and slide upwards.
