Locking and Unlocking the System
The locking feature lets you manage your family’s access to certain
programs. The User Profile settings for channel lists, rating limits, and
the spending limit go into effect when you lock the system.
Changing any ratings, channel lists, or the per-program spending limit is
impossible without knowing the Main Profile PIN (Personal
Identification Number). A PIN is a password for a Profile that locks and
unlocks the digital receiver system.
To lock or unlock the system:
1) In the Main menu, point to and select Locks .
2) Set System Lock is highlighted. Press the right arrow button to
highlight Lock System or Unlock System, then select it.
Locking the system locks the profile limits.
3) Use the arrows or digit keys to enter a four-digit system password.
Be sure to remember your password.
4) When you create a password the first time you must enter it a
second time to confirm it.
When the system is unlocked, the spending, rating, and channel limits
you have set are no longer in effect.
