Temporarily Overriding the Lock
There are times that you may wish to access a program or channel which exceeds the spending limit,
rating limit or family approved channels while your digital satellite receiver is locked. You can do this
without unlocking your digital satellite receiver. When you press , when prompted, the LOCK
OVERRIDE pop-up will be displayed. It looks and navigates just like the SYSTEM UNLOCK pop-
up.
Note: When you enter the correct four-digit code your digital satellite receiver will remain
unlocked until you power the receiver off. At that time all locks and limits will be enforced again.
