Parental
Control
Dish Network is pleased to offer a software
feature called "Adult Guard." This feature
takes advantage of the built-in V-chip-type
technology in our satellite receivers
to offer you, the customer, another
level of security with regards to Adult
programming.
This feature is available for all
models of receivers.
To check and see if your unit has
received this new software yet, please
access your system information screen
using the following steps: (NOTE: Procedure
may vary for different models.)
1. Press the "MENU" button.
2. Highlight the "SYSTEM SETUP" option
and press "SELECT".
3. Highlight the "INSTALLATION and SETUP"
option, press "SELECT".
4. Highlight the "SYSTEM INFO" option
and press "SELECT".
5. The version software that your unit
is running will be displayed about 1/3
of the way down the screen.
6. If the version listed is the same
as (or higher than) the version listed
above for your receiver, you can take
advantage of this new feature. Click
Here for detailed instructions.
7. If the version listed is lower than
the version listed above for your receiver,
you need to download the new software;
follow steps 8 - 11.
8. Turn the receiver OFF.
9. Let the receiver stay off for 5 minutes
(10 minutes on the Model 4700).
10. If the new software is available,
your system will automatically take
the download. You will notice the green
power LED come on while the system is
downloading.
11. Repeat steps 1-6 to see if you now
have the new software. If your receiver
did not take it, new software is not
up on the satellite for your model to
receive it yet. Please be patient, we
are working quickly to bring this feature
to all of our customers.
The new "Adult Guard" feature gives
you the capability to remove the "Adult"
channels (Playboy, TeN, Hot Zone, ETC,
Extasy) from your Electronic Program
Guide. This prevents any children in
the household from viewing the programming
OR accessing the program information.
To activate "Adult Guard," follow these
simple steps. (NOTE: procedure may vary
for some receivers.)
1. Press the "MENU" button.
2. Highlight the "LOCKS" option, press
"SELECT."
3. Choose the "CHANNEL LOCKS" option,
press "SELECT."
4. Scroll through the listed channel
numbers until you find channel 490.
Highlight this channel and press the
"SELECT" button once. (NOTE: You should
see a checkmark appear next to the channel
information.)
5. Highlight the "SAVE" option, press
"SELECT."
6. Highlight the "LOCK SYSTEM" option,
press "SELECT."
7. Enter a 4-digit password, then highlight
OK and press "SELECT."
8. Re-enter the password for confirmation,
then highlight OK and press "SELECT."
9. Your system is now locked. (NOTE:
this also automatically locks out the
PPV channels, and requires the password
to be entered to view or order PPV.)
10. Press the "GUIDE" button, notice
the padlock in the upper left corner
is now closed, and the adult channels
are no longer listed in the guide.
To view an adult channel after activating
"Adult Guard", follow these steps:
1. Press the "MENU" button.
2. Highlight the "LOCKS" option, press
"SELECT."
3. Enter your 4-digit password, highlight
OK and press "SELECT."
4. Highlight the "UNLOCK SYSTEM" option,
press "SELECT."
5. Your system is now unlocked and you
can view the adult channels.

following the instructions above.
If you want to leave the adult programming
in the Electronic Program Guide, but

these steps:
1. Press "MENU".
2. Highlight the "LOCKS" option, press
"SELECT."
3. Highlight the "RATINGS LOCKS" option,
press "SELECT."
4. Highlight the "NR/AO" option, press
"SELECT." A checkmark should now appear
in this box.

press "SELECT."
7. Enter a 4-digit password, highlight
"OK" and press "SELECT."

channels and any show that has a "NR/AO"
(Not Rated/Adult Only) rating will require
that you enter the password in order
to view.
