Paired Parent Connect

Set up your child's phone from your computer.

Paired Parent Connect runs on a Windows or Mac computer. It sets up your child's own phone over a USB cable, and shows you each step to take on the phone. You need the setup code from the email we sent you.

The steps

  1. Install Paired Parent Connect

    Download it above and install it on the computer.

  2. Install Paired Parent on your own phone

    Get it from Google Play or the App Store.

  3. Plug your child's phone into the computer

    Open Paired Parent Connect, then plug your child's phone into the computer with the USB cable. Paired Parent Connect shows you each step to take on the phone. If the phone is signed in to a Google or Samsung account, you sign out first, and you can sign back in when the setup is finished.

  4. Enter your setup code

    When Paired Parent Connect asks for it, type the setup code from your email. The setup takes about four minutes, and the phone restarts once by itself. Leave it plugged in until Paired Parent Connect says the phone is off.

  5. Pair the two phones

    Unplug your child's phone and turn it on. When it shows Set up this phone, tap Connect to Wi-Fi and join your Wi-Fi. A square pairing code then appears on its screen. On your own phone, open Paired Parent, tap Scan the code on the child phone, and point your phone at the code. Your child's phone then asks you to choose a parent PIN of 4 to 8 digits. Keep it to yourself: it opens the parent controls on your child's phone. Then tell Paired Parent Connect you have paired it, and you are done.

If the setup cannot finish, Paired Parent Connect offers to put the phone back the way it was. Then write to us at info@pairedparent.com with your setup code, and we will help you or refund your order.
