Tip

If your system fails a test, run the system test several times before concluding that there is a problem. Occasional fluctuations in the phone line or satellite signal can give temporary false readings.

Note: You must subscribe to Caller ID service from your telephone service provider in order for the on-screen Caller ID information to be displayed.

Info & Test

The Info & Test screen has two tabs at the top—one for System Info and the other for the System Test. Use the arrow buttons to highlight the tab you want and press SELECT to choose it.

The System Info tab gives you information on almost all of your DIRECTV Receiver's settings. Use the CHAN up and down buttons to scroll through the settings.

The System Test tab lets you run a diagnostic test of your satellite system.
