When the UNLOCK SYSTEM pop-up screen appears,
you can use the and keys or the remote control

Test Screen, press the and keys on the front panel simultaneously and
then release. The smart card must not be inserted in the HD receiver.

the restrictions imposed by locking. You can do this
without unlocking the HD receiver. You will be

this option to override the lock. When yo u press
, the OVERRIDE LOCK pop-up will be
displayed. It looks and navigates just like the
UNLOCK SYSTEM pop-up panel.
Note: Once the correct four-digit passcode is entered, the HD receiver will
remain unlocked until you turn the HD receiver off. The next time you turn
the HD receiver on, all locks and limits will be enforced again.
