SYSTEM TEST screen

Depending on your test results, you may be able to remedy the

problem yourself. For example, if your Access Card is missing, verify it is facing the right direction and try reinserting it. A “No Dial Tone” message indicates that the phone line is in use or the digital satellite receiver is disconnected from the phone line. If you cannot remedy a problem yourself, call your dealer or the Customer Care Center at 1-800-274-8995 and provide the technician with a complete description of the problem and the results of the system test. The technician will assist you with additional repair information and instructions.

Cable Test

When Cable Test is selected the digital satellite receiver scans through all transponders and displays the associated signal strength. If there are any detectable problems, you will be notified of the most likely cause of the problem. Otherwise, you may simply find this test to be a convenient way to analyze the signal quality your are achieving.
