What's Included

  • Power Cop
  • 2 keys
  • Instructions
  • More Info


    This easy-to-install video game timer locks away cords to electronic devices for easy monitoring of kids' habits. Open the Power Cop using one of the two included keys. Plug the chosen electronic device into the Power Cop and plug the Power Cop into the wall. Program the Power Cop, and then lock the unit. The tamper-proof lock will prevent kids from accessing the attached electronic device for extra fun time when they should be studying.

    Ideal for video games, televisions, and stereos, the Power Cop can be programmed with a different usage time for each day of the week with a minimum schedule interval of 15 minutes. It can be set to unrestricted to enable usage at any time or turned to "off" to disable usage of an electronic device completely.

    The Power Cop will beep and flash to alert the user as time runs down. An internal battery supply saves the timer schedule; the battery recharges itself automatically from the power line.

    "Initial reaction - 46900 Power Cop defective. Even with equipment "off," time would expire off the 46900 unit. Conclusion - after further thought, I realized that AC equipment was not totally off, when turned off. This slight current draw during the equipment's off time tricked the 46900 into thinking the device was actually on. The solution was to physically unplug the AC equipment from the 46900 Power Cop during the off time, so no current would be measured. Not the best solution, but it does meet my needs. Maybe the manufacture should place a comment in their ad that "any" amount of current draw will fool the Power Cop into thinking the equipment is on." - STEPHEN - CEDAR RAPIDS, IA
    "It's a great idea, but is too easy for kids to unplug/ reset to be very useful." - HOLLY NORMAN - BOUNTIFUL, UT
    "Perfect." - DWIGHT - STEVENSON RANCH, CA
