Access Card	Identifies you to the DSS service providers and is required for your DSS
	system to work. Do not remove the access card except when a new
	card has been issued to replace the original.
Alternate Audio	Refers to the different audio channels that may be broadcast in
	conjunction with a video program. A foreign language translation is an
	example.
Attractions	Previews of special programs broadcast by your program provider.
Azimuth	Refers to the left-to-right positioning of your DSS dish. When you enter
	your zip code (or latitude and longitude), the display screen provides
	the number corresponding to an azimuth setting for your location.
Channel Limit	Allows you to select which channels can be viewed when the system is
	locked.
DSS Receiver	Receives, processes, and converts the digitally compressed satellite
	signals into audio and video.

	enter your zip code (or latitude and longitude), the display screen
	provides the number corresponding to the elevation setting for your
	location.
Key	The 4-digit password—that you define—that allows you to limit access
	certain features of your DSS system.
Limits	There are three kinds of limits. The Ratings Limit allows you to control
	program viewing of rated programs by ratings level. The Spending Limit
	controls spending on a cost-per-program basis. The Channel Limit
	allows you to select which channels can be viewed when the system is
	locked.
Locks	The means of restricting access to certain features of the DSS system.
	The lock is controlled by a 4-digit key that acts as a password. The
	closed or open lock icon in the channel marker indicates whether your
	system is locked or unlocked.

	providers. The Mailbox is accessed through the on-screen menu
	system, and can store up to ten messages of forty characters each.
