Locking The System; Unlocking The System - RCA F38310 User Manual

Using the Profiles

Locking the System

When you lock the system, all limits set up for all profiles are put into
effect, regardless of whether the profile is locked or unlocked. Unlocked
profiles require no user password to access their channel list if the
system is locked.
When the system is locked, you can still access a profile and watch a
channel in its channel list (if the profile is locked, however, you must
have the user password). Locking the system activates all rating,
spending, viewing, and channel limits for all profiles. When you lock the
system, no one can modify any of these settings without first entering
the four-digit system password.
1. Select Profiles from the main menu. Then select Lock System and
press OK. Or, press INFO on the remote control and select the green
unlock icon from the channel banner.
You can lock the system via the channel banner by
entering a password.
2. Use the arrows or the digits to enter a four-digit system password.
3. Enter the password a second time to confirm it.
For the changes to be effective, you must exit out of the menu system.

Unlocking the System

When the system is unlocked, the channel, spending, viewing, and
ratings limits that you set are no longer in effect. To unlock:
1. Highlight Unlock System in the Profiles menu and press OK.
2. Highlight Yes and press OK to confirm that you want to unlock the
system.
When you attempt to access a channel that is blocked by one or more
limits and the system is locked, you will be asked to temporarily unlock
the system by entering the four-digit system password.
If you enter the system password to override a limit, all limits are
unlocked until you turn off the TV. When you turn on the TV again, the
system will be locked, and the Family profile channel list will be
selected. If you want to re-lock the system without turning off the TV,
you can select the lock icon in the channel banner.
