MORE FEATURES

System Test

The System Test display screen is accessed through the Options menu, and allows you to initiate diagnostic procedures on the DSS® system. You should use this feature to get your Access Card number, or when your receiver doesn’t seem to be working correctly. There are four separate tests: signal, tuning, phone connection, and access card.

A message screen appears, telling you whether the system passed each test. 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.

New Access Card Setup

Periodically, your program provider may issue you a replacement access card. The New Access Card Setup display screen allows you to transfer the information from the old card onto the new one.

Follow the display screen prompts to initialize your new card. Once you have transferred the information to the new card, your old card becomes invalid.

Because your specific account information and custom settings are stored in the access card, power failures should have no effect on your DSS® system.

Using On-Line Help

On-line Help is available for all of the menus and display screens. The System provides Auto Help, Help buttons, and Menu Help.
