Let Me In - DirecTV PLUS DVR - MANUEL 2 Manual

The Menu
TIP
The Parental Control
icon in the Channel
Banner will tell you if
the receiver is locked,
temporarily unlocked, or
unlocked.
Locked Unlocked Temporarily
Unlocked
38
Now, lock it
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!). Th is passcode will be your entry to unlocking and adjusting limitations in the future.
An onscreen 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.

Let me in...!

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 password.
For more unlock options:
1) Press MENU, then SELECT Parental Controls.
2) Various options for removing restrictions temporarily or permanently will appear. SELECT one and
enter your password.
Also note: If you have Parental Controls set and temporarily unlocked, turning the receiver power off will
re-lock the box. If anyone tries to unlock restrictions using an invalid passcode, there's a time delay that's
added with each additional attempt to discourage them.
