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 nish 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 rst 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.
Activating and Deactivating Wireless Internet Connection
