Important Note about This User’s Manual

This manual assumes that your DSS® system has been installed, meaning:

1.The DSS® satellite dish has been installed, correctly pointed at the satellite, and connected to your DSS® receiver.

2.The DSS® receiver is connected to your television and to a telephone line.

3.The access card is installed in your DSS® receiver.

Your access card has been matched to your receiver, and should already be installed when you take the receiver out of the packing box. The access card should only be taken out of the DSS® receiver when you are issued a new card by your programming providers.

4.The DSS® remote control has batteries and can be programmed to control both your DSS® receiver and your TV (if your TV is remote-controllable).

If your system has not been installed, refer to the satellite dish Installer's Guide for information regarding proper installation. Then, refer to the section, “Connections,” in this manual. See your dealer for specific information regarding professional installation or the purchase of a Self-Installer’s Kit.
