Choosing Your Profile
Each time you turn on the digital satellite receiver, the Family profile is selected
by default, so this should be the profile with the most restrictive limits you want
enforced across all profiles.
To select another profile:
1. Press the WHO•INPUT button to display a list of profiles.
2. Use the remote control’s arrow and OK buttons to select the desired profile.
Then enter the four-digit password to activate the profile.
Note: If the profile is not password protected, you can just press OK to
activate it.
The channels, spending, rating and viewing limits associated with the chosen
profile will be active only when the system is locked.
The active profile also affects what you see in the program guides. Selecting the
User Preferences icon sorts the guide to show only programs meeting the
current user profile criteria and which personal settings are used.
To change the current profile, press the WHO•INPUT button.
Personal Settings
The Personal Settings menu, accessed by pressing the 6 button in the Main
menu, lets you customize the look and feel of the active profile. Each of the
satellite system’s profiles can have individualized personal settings.
Note: If a personal profile is password protected, then that password must
be entered before changing any of the profile’s settings.
Once you have accessed the personal settings menu, select the desired profile.
You will use the remote control’s arrow and OK buttons to make your
selections.
The following sections explain your options when changing your personal
preferences. Follow the on-screen instructions to make changes to the system.
Name
Used to change the profile display name. This name will be displayed in the
Profiles menus as well as when the remote control’s WHO•INPUT button is
pressed.
Note: A profile’s name can be changed either by selecting the Personal
Settings in the Main menu, and then selecting Name, or in the Profiles edit
menu.
