Running Coaxial Cable

Running Coaxial Cable

1.Using the shortest path possible, run the coaxial cable(s) from the ground block or switch to the satellite receiver(s). Do not kink or pinch any cable. Cables should be bent only in gentle curves.

Do not use a longer cable between the satellite dish and the receiver than is specified in the DishPro or Legacy system installation instructions. If your system requires more cable than the limit specified in these installation instructions, you should consider having the system professionally installed.

2.Put a drip loop in each cable at a point before it enters the building. A drip loop allows moisture to drip from the cable before it runs into

the building.

Before drilling any holes in the wall or roof of your building, make sure that there are no wires or pipes in the area of the holes. If you are not comfortable doing this, contact a professional in your area. Make sure that you follow all safety instructions and building codes.

3.Locate each receiver inside the building, against or near an outside wall. Then drill a hole through the outer wall to pass a cable inside the building. If a receiver is located in an interior room, run a cable through the outside wall, and into an attic, basement, or crawl space in order to reach the receiver.

4.Seal all holes that you drill in the building with silicone or other weather- proof sealant after installation. Once each cable is inside the building, you may attach it to a wall receptacle or directly to a receiver.

Tighten the back panel 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 in the User Guide that came with the system.
