Connecting Your Receiver to a Phone Line

You must keep your receiver connected to an active telephone line. Otherwise, you may not be able to order pay per view programs or use all of the DISH Interactive features. Run the RJ-11 telephone cable supplied with your receiver from your receiver's back panel PHONE jack to an active telephone connection.

Note: You may be able to use a wireless telephone extender. However, this may not support all the features of some receivers, such as Caller ID.

You must also set up your receiver for your telephone system (touchtone or rotary/pulse), and set a telephone number prefix, if you need a prefix to make an outside call.

1.Press the MENU button.

2.Select the Installation and Setup option.

3.Select the Telephone System option to display the Telephone System Setup menu.

4.Select the Touch Tone or the Rotary/Pulse option in the Phone Type list.

5.If you do not need a dialing prefix to call outside your premises, select the Save option, and stop here. If you do need to set a prefix to dial outside your premises (for example, dial 9 to get an outside line), go to step 5.
