4.1.4 Parental lock
The 5-digit password (PIN) is set to 00000 at the factory.
a) Changing the password (PIN)
Select the „Parental lock“ menu with the [4] button in the main menu „Programme!“ Select the entry
field {PIN} by using the [2] button or the [▼] button, and activate it by pressing [OK]. Enter in the ‚old‘
and your ‚new‘ PIN according to the following steps.
1. Enter in the current PIN! ( = 00000 initially)
2. Please enter in the new PIN!
3. Please re-enter the new PIN!
Attention! Do not forget your PIN!
Resetting the unit to the factory setting is only possible at the
service centre ESC!
All the programmes are unlocked at the factory – You can lock each individual programme against
unauthorised setting.
To mark the programmes which are to be locked, press the [RC] button in the „Favourite list“ menu or
the „Programme pool.“
A „?“ is then placed in front of the current programme name. Afterwards, the next programme is called
up, so you can continue to mark several programmes one after another by repeatedly pressing the [RC]
button.
In order to delete a marking, press the [RC] button once more on the desired programme.
Example: Sky News
? Super Action
? Super Spezial
Südwest BW
b) Activating the parental lock
In order to activate the lock on the programmes, which are marked with a „?,“ switch the entry field
{Lock} to ON in the „Parental lock“ menu, and confirm it by exiting the menu with [OK].
When calling up the marked programmes, you will asked to enter in your 5-digit PIN.
Note: Please note, that after activating the parental lock, the menus, „Favourite-list“,
„Programme pool“ and „Search,“ can only be called up by entering in the 5-digit PIN.
This avoids someone from overcoming the parental lock, e.g. by deleting the marking or
setting the locked programmes via the transponder search (...also the parental lock
cannot be bypassed via the timer!).
Note: In order to deactivate the parental lock for a short time, e.g. at night, you can switch the
entry field {Lock } in the „Parental lock“ menu to OFF.
The „?“ markings will not be changed and remain after activating the parental lock
again, which means when the entry field {Lock} is switched to ON again!
