HELP

To set a new access code, see SmartLock Access Code on page 7.

If the “Incorrect Access Code...” mes- sage appears after step 2, enter the cor- rect access code. In order to protect the privacy of the access code, an X will appear on the screen instead of the num- ber you enter.

A “CHANNEL XX BLOCKED...” mes- sage will appear when someone tries to access the blocked programming. If you want to view this programming, enter your access code. The channel will remain blocked until you enter the cor- rect code. If you do not know the code, you must select another channel using the CH(annel) o/p buttons (not the Number buttons). Turning off the TV blocks the program- ming again.

If the “CHANNEL

CHANGE CODE menu will appear. See SmartLock Access Code on page 7.
