Locking Your System
To lock an unlocked system:
1
Select LOCK from the Set Locks and Limits screen.
2
The Set Passcode screen appears. Enter a four-digit passcode 
number. Use the 0-9 buttons or move the joystick up and down to 
enter the numerical value. (If you use the joystick to enter the 
value, move the joystick left or right to move to the previous or 
next position.)
Each number you enter appears as an asterisk ( ), which keeps 
your passcode secret.
Note
DON’T FORGET YOUR PASSCODE.
You’ll need this number to unlock
your system or to make any changes to the locks and limits you’ve set. If you 
do forget your passcode, call your program provider for assistance.
3
When prompted, enter your passcode again. (This confirms your 
selection of a passcode number.)
4
Select OK to return to the Set Locks and Limits screen.
Your system is now locked, as indicated by the closed padlock (
) in
the Set Locks and Limits screen. All locks and limits you’ve set are now 
in effect. The padlock also appears in the Program Banner to remind 
you of the locked status.
