You can play the new Nintendo Switch on the TV or on the go…which means your kids can get twice as addicted to it. Here’s how to set time limits, bedtime reminders, and content restrictions on the Switch.

您可以在电视上或在旅途中播放新的Nintendo Switch，这意味着您的孩子对它的迷上了两倍。 这是在Switch上设置时间限制，就寝时间提醒和内容限制的方法。

While the Switch comes with some basic parental controls, like filtering games by their rating, the real star is a new parental controls companion app that you can use to set time limits, monitor your child’s activity remotely, and even block access to the console entirely.

虽然Switch带有一些基本的家长控制功能，例如按游戏等级过滤游戏，但真正的明星是一个新的家长控制伴侣应用程序，您可以使用它来设置时间限制，远程监控孩子的活动，甚至完全阻止对控制台的访问。

The next screen will tell you to get your console ready. Tap Next to see your registration code, then grab your Switch for the next few steps.

下一个屏幕将告诉您准备好控制台。 点击下一步查看您的注册码，然后抓住您的交换机以进行接下来的几个步骤。

On your Switch’s home screen, tap the Settings button.

在交换机的主屏幕上，点击“设置”按钮。

Scroll down to the Parental Controls section and tap Parental Controls Settings.

向下滚动到“家长控制”部分，然后点击“家长控制设置”。

Choose “Use your Smart Device.” If you don’t want to use the app, you can choose “Use this console” here, but you won’t have access to features like limiting play time or getting notifications when your kids play too much.

选择“使用您的智能设备”。 如果您不想使用该应用程序，则可以在此处选择“使用此控制台”，但是您将无法使用限制游戏时间或在孩子玩得过多时收到通知的功能。

The next screen will ask if you have the Parental Controls app. We’ve already got you covered on that front, so tap Yes.

下一个屏幕将询问您是否具有家长控制应用程序。 我们已经在那方面为您服务，因此请点击是。

Next, tap Enter Registration Code.

如何设置时间限制，内容阻止和其他限制 (How to Set Time Limits, Content Blocking, and Other Restrictions)

From the next screen, you can choose a time limit for your child to play each day. The Switch will count how long the console is active (even in the menus). When your child reaches the time limit, an alarm will appear in the top-right corner of the screen letting them know it’s time to quit. Choose the time limit you want and tap Next.

在下一个屏幕上，您可以为孩子选择每天玩的时间限制。 交换机将计算控制台的激活时间(即使在菜单中)。 当您的孩子达到时间限制时，屏幕右上角会出现一条警报，让他们知道该退出了。 选择所需的时间限制，然后点击下一步。

Next, you can set the restriction level for the account. There are three pre-made restriction levels: Child, Pre-teen, and Teen. For anything younger than Teen, posting to social media and connecting with other users via Nintendo’s social features are blocked. Each level also blocks games that are above the appropriate age rating. You can use this presets or customize your own controls if, for example, you want to allow your child to post pictures to Facebook, but don’t want them to play games that are rated for adults.

接下来，您可以设置帐户的限制级别。 预先设置了三个限制级别：儿童，青少年和青少年。 对于任何未成年人来说，都禁止发布到社交媒体上并通过任天堂的社交功能与其他用户建立联系。 每个级别还会阻止超过适当年龄等级的游戏。 例如，如果要允许孩子将图片发布到Facebook，但又不想让他们玩成人游戏，则可以使用此预设或自定义控件。

Once the controls are set up, you can check the app to see how long your kids have been playing. All the default options will let you keep an eye on your kids and give them a gentle nudge to let them know when it’s time to quit.

设置完控件后，您可以检查该应用程序以查看孩子们玩了多长时间。 所有的默认选项都可以让您随时关注孩子，并轻轻地向他们暗示要何时退出。

However, you can also take the nuclear option if your kids don’t obey the rules: you can choose to disable the console entirely when the time limit is up. If you want to go that route, tap the Console Settings tab in the app.

但是，如果您的孩子不遵守规则，您也可以选择核选项：您可以选择在时间到时完全禁用控制台。 如果要走那条路线，请在应用程序中点击“控制台设置”选项卡。

Next, tap the Play-Time Limit button.

接下来，点击“播放时间限制”按钮。

At the bottom of the screen, tap the toggle that reads “Suspend Software.” It will prompt you to confirm that you really want to go this route, since you may end up losing someone’s game save.

在屏幕底部，点击显示为“ Suspend Software”的开关。 它将提示您确认您确实要走这条路，因为您可能最终会失去某人的游戏保存权。

You’ll have to decide for yourself whether cutting off the game entirely for going past the time limit is too harsh of a punishment, but fortunately it’s optional.

您必须自己决定是否为了超过时间限制而完全终止游戏是否太严厉了，但是幸运的是，它是可选的。

That covers most of it—you can tweak other settings here if you want, but from now on, your Switch should be set up perfectly for children of any age.

这涵盖了大部分内容-您可以根据需要在此处调整其他设置，但是从现在开始，您的Switch应当适合所有年龄段的孩子的完美设置。
