Lock Your Receiver
Once you've set the restrictions you want, choose "Lock Now" from the left
menu. You'll be directed to create a passcode (which you'll want to make easy
enough to remember, but hard enough that the little ones won't guess it!). This
passcode will be your entry to unlocking and adjusting limitations in the future.
An on-screen message will appear whenever anyone tries to tune to a channel
or program that has been restricted, or attempts to spend or watch beyond
limitations set. He or she will not be allowed to proceed without the passcode.
Using your passcode, you can easily override the limits.
Unlock Your Receiver
Temporarily or permanently unlocking a restriction is easy. To temporarily
unlock a particular program:
1.
When any controls are currently activated, "Unlock Now" will appear if
you try to tune to a restricted program.
2.
Select "Unlock Now" and enter the passcode.
