Unlocking the System
The Unlock System display screen—which is available only when the
system is locked—allows you to unlock the system. Unlocking the
system turns off any ratings, spending, or channel limits you have set.
You must re-lock your system to enforce your limits again (the limits
stay the same). An open lock icon appears in the channel marker when
the system is unlocked.
Session Unlock
If your system is locked and you attempt to access a channel or
program that is blocked by one or more limits, you are asked to enter
your four-digit key to override the system lock. If you enter your key
to override the a rating, spending, or channel limit, all limits are
unlocked until you turn off the receiver. When you turn the
receiver on again, the system will be locked.
The only way to permanently unlock the system once it has been
locked is to enter the Unlock System display screen.
