Abstract: 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. Access for secondary users can be controlled and monitored by the primary user. The system requires password entry upon the total loss of power, shutting down the system if the password is not obtained. In another embodiment the system differentiates between power outages, removal of power, loss due to water and normal loss of power due to use. A further embodiment tracks usage of the device by units, enabling primary user refill of the units.
