Creating or Changing a Password
CREATING OR CHANGING A PASSWORD
The first thing to do before using the receiver locks is set up your password.
1 Press the MENU button and select parental-control Locks (5).
2 If the receiver is locked, enter the password using the remote’s NUMBER PAD. The
receiver displays stars (*) as you enter the digits of the password. Then select OK.
3 Select the option for Change Password.
4 Enter the current password using the remote control NUMBER PAD. Then select OK.
5 Press the SELECT button.
6 Enter the new password using the emote control NUMBER PAD. Then select OK.
7 Enter the new password again for confirmation, using the remote’s NUMBER PAD. The
receiver displays stars (*) as you enter the digits of the password. Then select OK.
8 Memorize this new password. From now on, enter this password to lock or unlock the
receiver. If you forget your password, then you will need to contact the DISH Customer
Service Center and speak with a representative.
LOCKING AND UNLOCKING YOUR RECEIVER
You must lock the receiver for any receiver locks you set to take effect. Locking the
receiver also locks the modulator output for TV1 (see page 76). To lock the receiver, you
must first create a password (see Setting Up a Password in the previous section). Be sure
to refer to this section whenever you set any lock on your receiver.
