Hughes Model HIRD-E86 Platinum HD Receiver

Lock/Unlock

When you first receive your satellite 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: Once the HD receiver is locked, only channels selected on the Family list will be accessible. If the Family list does not have channels selected on it, no channels can be viewed without first unlocking the HD receiver. To avoid this inconvenience, verify the contents of the Family list before locking the HD receiver. For additional information, refer to “Channel Lists” earlier in this chapter.

Locking Procedure

When the Lock button is selected, the LOCK SYSTEM pop-up screen 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 cancel the locking process.

If you continue, you will be asked to confirm the code by entering it again in the same fashion as before. Once

again, highlight and select OK to proceed. Otherwise,The LOCK pop-up panel choose Cancel.

Once OK has been selected, the HD receiver is locked. You will need your passcode whenever you wish to unlock or override the lock.
