Locking Your System

DON’T FORGET YOUR PASSCODE. You’ll need this number to unlock your system or to make any changes to the locks and limits you’ve set. If you do forget your passcode, call your program provider for assistance.

To lock an unlocked system:

1 Select LOCK from the Set Locks and Limits screen.

2 Enter a four-digit passcode number. Use the 0-9 buttons to enter the numerical value.

SET LOCKS AND LIMITS
SPENDING LIMIT	LOCK SYSTEM	RETURN
	Enter Your Four
		LOCK
RATINGS LIMIT	Digit Passcode
	R	HELP
PAY PER VIEW	UNLOCKED
STATION LOCKS	4 STATIONS LOCKED

Each number you enter appears as an asterisk (), which keeps your passcode secret.

3 When prompted, enter your passcode again. (This confirms your

	selection of a passcode number.)
	Your system is now locked, as indicated by the closed padlock ( ) in
	the Set Locks and Limits screen. All locks and limits you’ve set are now
	in effect. The padlock also appears in the Program Banner to remind
	you of the locked status.
Overriding the System Lock	You can temporarily override any locks or limits that have been set if
	you know the system passcode.
	For example, if you try to watch a program on a locked station, a
	message identifies the lock or limit exceeded. After you press the
	button, the Temporary Unlock window appears. By entering the
	passcode and then selecting when you want the system to
	automatically relock, you can temporarily unlock the system.
	Note
	If you override the system lock, you can reset the lock by turning the power off
	and then on again. If you want to unlock the system on a more permanent
	basis, follow the procedures under “Unlocking Your System” on page 53.
