Setting the Parental Lock

To prevent children or unauthorised users downloading games, you can set up a 4-digit
Parental Lock code. After setting the code, you will need to key it in each time you wish
to download a new game. (You won't need the code to play games, however.)
The Parental Lock must be set from the keyboard – you cannot use the GamePad.
♦ Note, if the code is set to 0000, this means Parental Lock is off. (When you
receive your
e-m@iler new, the code is set to 0000.)

display:
2. Enter the 4 digits of your code (in the small

must enter the correct code to continue.
& If the code is incorrect, the e-m@iler will beep – try again.
Once you've typed in the correct code, the small box will clear and you can then type in
a new code if required. Remember – type in 0000 for no Parental Lock.
