Session Unlock

If your system is locked and you attempt to access a channel or program that is blocked by one or more limits, you are asked to enter the four-digit system password to override the system lock.

If you enter the password to override the rating or spending limit, all limits are unlocked until you turn off the receiver. When you turn on the receiver again, the system will be locked, and the Family profile channel list will be selected. You can also re-lock the system by selecting the lock icon in the channel banner.

Each time that you turn on the receiver, the Family profile is selected by default. To select a different Profile:

1. Press the WHO•INPUT button to scroll through the profiles.

The WHO button toggles through the profiles.

2.When your profile appears, enter your four-digit personal password to activate your profile.

If the profile is not password protected, you can just press MENU•SELECT to activate it.

The channel, spending, ratings and viewing limits will reflect the chosen profile only when the system is locked.

The Lock/Unlock icons in the channel banner provide an easy way to lock or unlock the system. Just point and select to change the lock status.
