Note: If the receiver displays a message prompting you to enter a
password, the receiver has already been locked.

option. The receiver displays
a message prompting you to enter a password.
Note: If this option appears as Unlock System instead,
the receiver is already locked.
4. Enter and verify a password, using the number pad buttons. The receiver
displays stars (*) as you enter the digits of the password.
5. Write down the password and put it in a safe place. From now on, you
must enter this password to lock or unlock the receiver.
6. Highlight and select the OK option. Re-enter the password. All the locks
you have set are now in effect.
