Hours
This feature allows you to set a range of allowable viewing hours for different days of the
week. Just select your preferences to set up any limits.
Now, lock it
Once you’ve decided on the restrictions you want, choose Lock Now. You’ll be directed to
create a passcode (which you’ll want to make easy enough to remember, but hard enough that
the little ones won’t guess it!). This passcode will be your entry to unlocking and recreating
limitations in the future.
An on-screen message will appear whenever anyone tries to tune to a channel or program
that has been restricted, or attempts to spend or watch beyond limitations set. He or she
will not be allowed to proceed... without the passcode. Using your passcode, you can easily
override the limits.
Locked states: Locked, Unlocked, Temporarily Unlocked
Locked: All settings activated. Box is locked.
Unlocked: No setting activated.
Temp orarily Unlocked: Box can be unlocked on a single program or all settings can be
unlocked for four hours. At the end of the program or after four hours, the box will
re-lock itself. Placing the box in STANDBY also re-locks. The box can also be re-locked
by going to the QUICK MENU, selecting Parental Controls, then Lock Now.
The Parental Controls icon in the
Channel Banner will tell you if your
receiver is locked, temporarily
unlocked, or unlocked.
