| TV Timer - BOB
The Latest in Electronic & TV Time Management.
BOB helps parents monitor and manage the time their children spend using in-home media. BOB is an easy
to use, small device that sits next to a TV, video-game system or computer. The power cord from one of these devices plugs into the back of BOB and is locked in place. Then, BOB plugs into an electrical outlet. After set up – a process that takes about three minutes – the machine monitors the amount of time a child spends using that media device.
Parents decide an acceptable amount of viewing time for each child per day or per week. Specific time periods can be blocked entirely for studying, chores, family time, or sleeping. Each child in the house (up to 6 users) has a four-digit PIN that they enter before they can turn on the attached device. BOB tracks the time used. A "master pin" allows a parent to turn on the connected device at any time. When a child's preset viewing time expires, BOB shuts off the attached TV, video-game system or computer and won't allow it to be turned on by that user for the remainder of the day (or week).
Features:
- Personal PIN access for every family member (up to 6)
- Master-user access (permits access anytime)
- Weekly or daily time management
- Time reporting for every user
- Time-period blocking to prevent media use
at certain times of the day. (Up to five blocks per user for any or all days of the week. Maximum of 35 blocks per user per week.)
- Quickly add bonus time or remove time from any user without changing their regular allotment.
- BOB works with all TVs (including large screens), gaming stations, and computers.
- Big, easy to use keypad for the entire family, even in the dark! While in use,
BOB shows the user logged in and their time remaining.
- Tamper proof and durable.
- Settings are safe during a power outage.
- 1-year manufacturer's warranty. Designed and assembled in the USA.
How It Works:
The power cord from one of these devices plugs
into the back of BOB and is locked in place. Then, BOB plugs into an electrical outlet. After set up – 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 time remaining.
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 Guaranteed &
Warranty:
Bob comes with a 30-day money back guarantee and a one year manufactures warranty. See our optional replacement plan.
