The operating control system can be use on electronic equipment, such as cell phones, computers, engine analyzers, etc. An input device, programming a single or multiple devices, enables the input of user access data by a primary user for multiple modes. Through use of a black list, blocked numbers can be stored or immediately deleted with notification going to the user as well as the owner of the blocked number. A temporary shut down feature enables the ring tone on the device to be shut down for a programmed period of time and reactivated at the end of that time.
