The LOCK pop-up panel

YOUR RECEIVER’S MENU SYSTEM

Lock/Unlock

When you first receive your system, it will be unlocked. That is, no limits or restrictions are in effect. To enforce the limits (spending, ratings, and “Family” favorite list), you must lock the system.

When the button on the MAIN MENU reads Lock , no lock symbol appears at the top of the menu screen, indicating that the system is unlocked.

NOTE: If locking the receiver, only channels included in the Family list will be accessible. If the Family list has not had channels added to it, no channels can be viewed without first unlocking the receiver. To avoid this inconvenience, set up the Family list to include all channels or those channels that you deem acceptable.

Locking Procedure

When you select the Lock button, the LOCK SYSTEM pop-up panel is displayed. Use the and keys or the remote control number keys to enter a four-digit passcode of your choosing. If you enter the code using the number keys, you will not see the numbers appear on the screen. After entering a four-digit passcode, highlight and select OK to proceed. Otherwise, choose Cancel to abort the locking process.

If you continue locking, you will be asked to enter the code again in the same fashion as before for confirmation purposes. Once again, highlight and select OK to proceed. Otherwise, choose Cancel to abort the locking process.

Once OK has been selected, your digital satellite receiver is locked. The button previously used to lock your system is now used to unlock your receiver. A lock symbol appears at the top of every

menu screen to remind you that your digital satellite receiver is locked.

REMEMBER YOUR CODE! You will need this code whenever you wish to override the lock or to unlock your digital satellite receiver.

Unlocking Procedure

Once you have locked your digital satellite receiver and would like to remove the lock and its restrictions at some later date, highlight the Unlock button and press

the key.

When the SYSTEM UNLOCK pop-up panel appears, you can use the and keys or the remote control number keys to enter the four-digit passcode that you used to lock the digital satellite receiver earlier. If you enter the code using the number keys, you will not see the numbers appear on the screen.

After entering the correct four-digit passcode, highlight and select OK to proceed to unlock the digital satellite receiver. Once your digital satellite receiver has been unlocked, all limits and

The UNLOCK pop-up panelrestrictions are removed! Otherwise, choose Cancel to keep the lock in effect.

If you should happen to forget the four-digit code that you used to lock your digital satellite receiver, call your service provider for assistance.
