How to lock and unlock the system.

Locks & Limits provides settings to help you control the viewing restrictions of DIRECTV® programming. When accompanied by the channel lists, these limits provide a great degree of control. The DIRECTV® Receiver must be locked for the TV Timer, Rating and Spending limits to be enforced.

When you first receive your satellite system, it will be unlocked; (i.e., no limits or restrictions are in effect). You must lock the system to enforce the limits (spending, ratings, TV timer, and “Family” favorite list).

Note: Once the DIRECTV Receiver is locked, only existing Family list channels will be accessible. If the Family list does not contain any channels, no channels can be viewed without first unlocking the receiver. To avoid this, verify the contents of the Family list before locking the receiver.

When you SELECT the Lock button, the LOCK SYSTEM pop-up panel appears.

1.Enter a four-digit passcode using the remote control then SELECT OK.

2.Enter the code again to confirm, then SELECT OK.

Once you select OK, the satellite receiver is locked. You must enter the passcode to unlock it. A lock symbol icon appears at the top of every menu screen to remind you that the system is locked.

To remove the lock and its restrictions:

1.Highlight the Locks & Limits tab from the MAIN MENU.

2.SELECT the Unlock menu button.

3.Enter the same code you entered to lock the system.

Once the system is unlocked, all limits and restrictions are removed! Choose Cancel to keep the lock in effect.
