Locks allow you to password-protect programming based on ratings, or on a channel-by-channel
basis. When you have locked the receiver:
• If you try to access a locked item or open the Locks menu, the receiver displays a message
prompting you to enter the password.
• The receiver allows you three attempts to enter the correct password. If you fail to enter the
correct password, the receiver does not allow you to try again for several minutes.
• If you enter the correct password, you can access the locked item or open the Locks menu.
• If you exit a locked item or close the Locks menu, you must enter the password to access the
item again.
Locking the receiver is a two-step process:
1
Create the locks that you want.
2
Lock the receiver.
When the receiver is locked, anyone who wants to access locked items must enter the password.

The first thing to do before using the receiver locks is set up your password.
Memorize the new password. From now on, you must enter this password to lock or unlock the
receiver. If you forget your password, you will need to speak with a Customer Service
Representative.
