No Local Numbers. If you chose a local dial-in number, you will not see this screen. If you selected “None of the Above” on the Dial-In Numbers screen, select “Request 800 number authorization” here. Selecting this option temporarily selects the toll-free number and submits a request to use the toll-free number. It is the current policy of DIRECTV to allow you to use the toll-free number if there are no local numbers available.

Dialing Format. Choose the dialing format you need. For example, should the dial-in number be preceded by your area code, and should a “1” precede the area code? In some areas, even local numbers must be dialed using the area code.

Test Phone Connection Call. This screen appears while the DVR tests the phone dialing options and local dial-in number you have chosen.

If the phone test does not succeed, you may need to pick a different dial-in number, or change the dialing format. Use the LEFT arrow to go back to previous screens and make changes to dialing options.

Congratulations! You’ve completed Guided Setup. You can now press the DIRECTV Button on your remote control to go to DIRECTV Central.

Dialing Options screen. Select Set Dial2 Prefix, and enter the dialing prefix

“,#034” (comma, pound, zero, three, four). Use the PAUSE button to enter a comma, and the ENTER button to enter a pound. This command sets the DVR’s modem to a slower speed, which helps phone calls succeed in some environments. The DVR does not dial the prefix as part of the number.
