Locking and unlocking your DIRECTV® System

If you've set ratings limits, spending limits, or channel lists for your DIRECTV System, you need to lock the system to make those settings take effect. To change those settings, you need to unlock the system to access the controls for those settings.

Locking the system involves entering a four-digit password. You need to remember this password to unlock the system. Write down the password and keep it in a safe place.

If you subscribe to DIRECTV and you forget your password, call DIRECTV for assistance.

If you do not subscribe to DIRECTV and you forget your password, follow the instructions on page 68 to clear your terrestrial password.

To lock or unlock the system, follow these steps:

1.Press the MENU button on your remote control.

2.Highlight PROFILES and press SELECT (the Profiles menu appears).

3.Highlight Lock System or Unlock System and press SELECT.

4.Highlight the first digit in the password.

5.Use the 0 - 9 buttons on your remote control to enter a four-digit password. Then highlight Done and press SELECT.

If you are locking the system, you will see a second screen asking you to confirm your password (to make sure you entered it correctly).

When you have finished locking or unlocking the system, the Lock System/ Unlock System screen disappears, and the PROFILES menu is displayed.

6.To clear the menu from your screen, press EXIT on your remote control.
