Connecting the Receiver to the Phone Line

Chapter 2 Receiver Description and Installation

Connecting the Receiver to the Phone Line

Keep the receiver connected to an active telephone line so you can order Pay- Per-View programs and use all of the dish home Interactive TV features, and other services from DISH Network.

Note: You may be able to use a wireless modem jack. However,

this may not support all the features of this receiver, such as Caller ID. See www.dishnetwork.com for compatible modem products.

Note: If you have a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), you may have to install a DSL filter between the receiver’s back panel PHONE JACK and the telephone wall jack to successfully connect with DISH Network. You can obtain a filter from your DSL provider.

Phone Line Connection

Run a telephone cable with a standard RJ-11 connector from the receiver’s back panel Phone Jack to an active telephone connection.

Phone System Setup

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

1. Display the Phone System screen by pressing MENU-6-1-4.

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

3.Select either the No Prefix or the Prefix Code option in the Outside Line Prefix list.

Note: The Outside Line Prefix is usually used only for business installations. For most residential installations, all you need set is the

Phone Type.

4.If you selected the No Prefix option, select Save to finish.

5.If you selected the Outside Line Prefix option, the receiver highlights the box where you must enter the exact sequence you dial the phone to obtain an outside line.

6.Select Save to save the settings.
