This chapter explains:

•How to lock and unlock the system.

•How to set maximum rating, spending, and time limits.

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 DIREC TV® Receiver must be locked for

the TV Timer, Rating and Spending limits to be enforced.

Locking & unlocking

the system

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.

How to lock the system 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.

Press Cancel to clear the locking

process.

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

If you forget your four-digit code,

you must call DIRECTV.

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.

Unlocking the system 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.

The button used to lock the system

is also used to unlock the system.

Once the system is unlocked, all limits and restrictions are removed!

Choose Cancel to keep the lock in effect.
