current PIN.

• If you are changing the PIN for the first time, press the numeric keys to
enter 0000 (the number of the factory-set PIN). The PIN Entry screen
prompts you to enter your new PIN.
• If you are changing your current PIN, press the numeric keys to enter your
current PIN. The PIN Entry screen prompts you to enter a new PIN.

When entering a PIN in the PIN Entry
screen, an asterisk appears each time
you press a number key. Displaying an
asterisk instead of the number itself
keeps others from learning your PIN
and lets you know that the set-top has
accepted the number.
