HOW TO TELL WHEN YOU HAVE MAIL

There are two ways to tell if you have mail, depending on whether the DSS® receiver is turned on or off.

•If the DSS® receiver is turned on, the mail icon in the channel banner is highlighted.

•If the DSS® receiver is turned off, the power light on the front panel of the receiver flashes.

2.Press MENU•SELECT again to close the letter.

After you read a message and want to erase it, point to Erase Message and press MENU•SELECT. When you exit the display screen, messages not erased are saved in memory.
