rating level. For example, if you only want your child to watch programs that
have a TV-G rating and lower (in other words, you want the child to watch
TV-G. TV-Y7, and TV Y), then you need to block out other programming with
higher ratings.

age-based rating limits. Keep scrolling until the rating corresponding with
the lowest rating you do not want tile child to watch appears on the screen.

until TV-PG appears, since the highest rating },oct want the child to watch is
WV-O.

Status field.

status for the rating listed to the left and all higher ratings automatically
