Locked Unlocked Temporarily
Unlocked
Now, lock it
Once you’ve set the restrictions you want, choose Lock Now from the left menu. 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!). Th is passcode will be your entry to unlocking and adjusting limitations in the
future.
An onscreen 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.
Let me in…!
Temporarily or permanently unlocking a restriction is easy. To temporarily unlock a particular program:
1) When any controls are currently activated, Unlock Now will appear if you try to tune to a restricted
program.
2) Select Unlock Now and enter the password.
For more unlock options:
1) Press MENU, then SELECT Parental Controls.
2) Various options for removing restrictions temporarily or permanently will appear. Select one and
enter your password.
The Parental Control icon in the
Channel Banner will tell you if the
receiver is locked, temporarily
unlocked, or unlocked.
