Recognise the temporary unlock
RTBF’s parental-control help says protection is enabled by default for material restricted to viewers aged sixteen and above. When a PIN is used to open restricted viewing, the resulting deactivation lasts three hours. A later prompt can therefore be the expected expiry of that session. Entering a code once should not be treated as permanently changing the household’s restriction level.
Change the actual restriction in the profile
Open the Auvio profile and its Contrôle parental tab to create or change the four-digit PIN and choose the restriction level. RTBF lists disabled, under-twelve restriction and under-sixteen restriction options. For a forgotten code, Réinitialiser le code PIN sends a randomly chosen replacement by email, which can then be retained or changed. The profile setting is the documented route for a lasting level change.
Protect the route out of Kids
The same tab also offers Sécuriser l’espace Kids. Enabling it uses the parental PIN to leave the secured children’s space. If a PIN already exists, RTBF says to reuse it rather than create an unrelated code. This exit lock answers whether someone can leave Kids; the age restriction answers which restricted programmes require authorisation elsewhere.
Choose the children’s collection as well
RTBF’s Kids overview groups videos for ages three to seven and seven to twelve, with educational themes including nature, science, history, media literacy and news. The selection also includes stories, music, podcasts and family films. Use those browsing groups to choose an appropriate programme. A locked exit is a navigation control and does not replace the carer’s choice between those different audiences and formats.
