Receiver Description and Installation

Note: If you are installing your receiver into a system with DISH Pro LNBFs (and/or switches), you can have as much as 200 feet of cable between the LNBF and the receiver. However, you must use only RG-6 coaxial cables rated for 950 to 2150 MHz. Some cables may say “Swept tested for 2150 MHz.” If you have any doubt about this, examine the cable’s outer jacket, ask your DISH Network retailer, or look on the con- tainer the cable came in. Do not use cable company TV cables or cables from other satellite TV systems not rated for 950-2150 MHz. These other cables may cause signal loss. Do not use existing cables such as RG-59. Also, be sure that any outdoor connections are made using waterproof F connectors.

Tighten all the coaxial cable connections only by hand. Using a wrench may over-tighten the connections, causing damage. Such damage is not covered by the Limited Warranty.

If the screen shows the correct switch and the message “Satellite reception verified” for all satellites in your system, go to the next step. If the Installation Summary screen does not detect all of the satellites your system should be receiving, check and retighten (by hand) the cable connections between your receiver, LNBFs and switches in your system. Then select Retest or Test to rerun Check Switch again.

5.Select OK or Cancel to return to the Point Dish screen. Then select Cancel to exit the Point Dish screen.
