How It Works:
The power cord from a TV, Video Game console, or computer monitor plugs into the back of BOB and is locked in place. Then, BOB plugs into an electrical outlet. After setup – a process that takes about three minutes – the machine monitors the amount of time a child spends using that media device. Watch the Demo Video. While in use, BOB shows the user logged in and their remaining time available. When the child turns off the device before their allowance is up, Bob stores the unused time for later use. This helps teach the child to manage their time.
When a child’s preset viewing time expires, BOB beeps for several seconds (asking the child to turn off the TV). If the child doesn’t turn off the TV, BOB shuts off the attached TV, video-game system or computer monitor and won’t allow it to be turned on by that user for the remainder of the day (or week) until their allowance resets.
System Power Mode:
Most TV Timers just control the power (On or Off). BOB’s power modes accommodate different types of televisions. BOB arrives in NORMAL MODE and only needs to be changed if you are using BOB with a projection TV or if a loss of power to your TV requires a manual reset of the TV’s internal settings (clock, channels, etc).
COOL DOWN mode should be used with projection TVs. This power mode ensures a proper shut down of your TV by allowing the internal fan to operate while the TV is turned off.
ALWAYS ON mode should be used if a loss of power to your TV requires a manual rest of the TV’s internal settings (clock, channels, or other customized settings). When a user’s time elapses or a block is encountered, BOB will begin a 60 second countdown followed by an alarm which will warn the user to turn off the connected device. If the user does not turn off the connected device, BOB will automatically shut it off.
Satisfaction Guarantee & Warranty:
Bob comes with a 30-day money back guarantee and a one year manufacturer’s warranty.
