SurfBalance™ Setup

To achieve the full benefits of SurfBalance, we recommend that you disable the built-in Safari browser using the iPhone/iPod touch Restrictions feature with these easy steps, then setup SurfBalance controls and reports using these 3 easy steps.

1) Restrict Safari Usage - Tap Settings>General>Restrictions>Enable Restrictions. You will be asked to create a passcode so that you can re-enable Safari at any time. Switch off Safari using the ON/OFF switch. You may also want to disable other apps or features such as YouTube, etc.

2) Setup a SurfBalance Password - The first time you navigate to the Parents control tab in SurfBalance, you will be asked to setup a password and a clue in case you later forget your password.

3) Setup the SurfBalance Controls and Reports - From this password protected section, you can set user time limits, decide how much of the built in catalog you would like to display, setup individual site block/allow controls, sign up for email reports and more. For full details on each control available, click the i button at the top right on the page (also available at this link).
