Disable Parental Controls

Press OK. Use the Number Pad to enter
your parental controls password. Then
highlight OK and press OK.

When you disable parental controls, they
will remain that way until you turn them
back on, or the Parental Controls timeout
is reached. The timeout is the maximum

period of time for which Parental Controls will be disabled.

At the end of the time period, the system will automatically restore
Parental Controls. You will see an alert on the screen just before parental
controls are restored.

For more information on the Unlock Timeout for Parental Controls, see
Settings/Users/Parental Control Settings see page 36.

Enable Parental Controls

Press Menu and highlight Parental Controls,
then press OK. Parental Controls are now in
effect.

For more information on creating parental controls and parental control
settings, see Settings on page 42.
