work done against defects in materials or workmanship for the remaining portion of the original warranty period.
•Parts: For a period of one (1) year from the original date of purchase, EchoStar will supply, at no charge, new or re-man-
ufactured parts in exchange for parts determined to be defective subject to the limitations of this warranty. EchoStar war-
rants any such replacement parts against defects in materials or workmanship for the remaining part of the original
warranty period. Note: “Parts” means items included in this package, which may include the satellite dish assembly,
receiver, LNBF, remote control, or dish mounting hardware. It does not include other parts purchased separately.

If You Need Assistance
1 Call the Customer Service Center at 1-800-333-DISH (3474). Have the date of purchase and either your customer
account number, the receiver conditional access number, or the receiver model number ready. Display the Important
System Information menu to find these numbers.
2 A Customer Service Representative will assist you.
3 If the Representative determines you should return any equipment, you will be directed to call a Return Authorization
representative. Before shipping any equipment, you must talk to a Return Authorization representative and must obtain a
Return Authorization (RA) number.
4 You will be given the appropriate address for which to return your equipment. Whether under warranty or not, you will be
responsible for the cost of shipping back the defective equipment. For faster service, see the Advance Exchange Pro-
gram below.
5 Returned equipment must be packaged properly, using either the original shipping materials or the packaging in which
the replacement equipment is shipped. Include a copy of the Bill of Sale. Any items returned without a copy of the Proof
of Purchase will be considered out of warranty. Follow the instructions given to you by the Customer Service Represen-
tative.
6 Write the RA number in large, clearly visible characters on the outside of the shipping box that you use to return the
equipment. To avoid confusion and misunderstandings, shipments without an RA number clearly visible on the outside of
the box will be returned to you at your expense.
