View or extend the remaining time to use the device

A child can view the total amount of time that is allowed to use the device and the amount of time remaining to use the device. Norton Family notifies the child 15 minutes before the restricted time reaches or the end of allowed time usage. It also provides a one-minute countdown when the child reaches the restricted time period or allowed time has been used for the day.

When the child exceeds the allowed time to use the device, Norton Family blocks the child to use the device based on the house rule that you have set. Your child can send you a request for time extension and based on your decision, they can continue using the device till the extended time.

    A message notifies the amount of time remaining and the time period in which the curfew is in effect.

Extend the computer usage time

This is not applicable if your child's computer runs on Windows XP or Windows Vista. Your child also cannot request you for more time from the time limit reached alert. However, you can Extend User Time by signing in to your account from any Internet-enabled device. To get the best from Norton Family, we recommend that you upgrade your child's Windows operating system to a higher version.
