Changing the Lock Level

Receiver lock levels are password-protected. When an attempt is made to change the lock level setting, a password prompt is displayed. After the correct password is entered, you can change the lock level setting.

If the incorrect password is entered (any lock level setting), a message box appears on-screen to confirm an invalid password entry, and access to the locked options are denied.

Note: The default password is 1234.

For details on the four lock levels, see D9865 Satellite Receiver Lock Levels, on page C-2.

Proceed as follows to change the lock level:

1.In the Administration menu, scroll to select Lock Level and press OK. The PIN Entry screen appears.

2.Press OK to enter the current password using the numeric keypad on the remote control and press OK. For security reasons, a default character is substituted for each button pressed.

3.Use  to select a valid lock level (lock levels are displayed from 0 to 3) and then press OK. The default setting is 0. The Actual Lock Level parameter below is updated to the new lock level.

Menu options change color (view-only) if disabled by the current lock level setting.

Important: A virtual channel displayed for 20 seconds or more automatically becomes the current (Last) channel. As Lock Level 3 disables most Lock Level 0 functions (including channel changes), perform this action before changing the current Lock Level setting to 3.
