Major Features

Unlocking the System

The Unlock System display screen—which is available only when the system is locked—allows you to unlock the system. Unlocking the system turns off any ratings, spending, or channel limits you have set. You must re-lock your system to enforce your limits again (the limits stay the same). An open lock icon appears in the channel marker when the system is unlocked.

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 your four-digit key to override the system lock. If you enter your key to override the a rating, spending, or channel limit, all limits are unlocked until you turn off the receiver. When you turn the receiver on again, the system will be locked.

The only way to permanently unlock the system once it has been locked is to enter the Unlock System display screen.
