martLock enables parents
to prevent their children
from watching inappropriate
material on TV. SmartLock
reads the ratings for program-
ming (except for news and
sports programs, unedited
movies on premium cable
channels, and Emergency
Broadcast System signals),
then denies access to program-
ming if the program's rating
meets or exceeds the limita-
tions you select. To block spe-
cific ratings or channels, follow
these steps.
