Connecting the Phone Line

1Before you can begin connecting your receiver to your dish antenna, you must first complete the preceding sections on connecting your TVs to the receiver.

2Connect an RG-6 coaxial cable between the Satellite In port on the receiver’s back panel to an available port on either your switch or your LNBF in your existing system.

Note: If you are installing your receiver into a system with DISH Pro or DISH Pro Plus LNBFs (and/or switches), you can have as much as 200 feet of cable between the LNBF and the receiver. However, you must use only RG-6 coaxial cables rated up to at least 2150 MHz. Some cables may say “Swept tested for 2150 MHz.” If you have any doubt about this, ask your DISH Network retailer, or look on the container the cable came in. Do not use cable company TV cables or cables from other satellite TV systems not rated up to at least 2150 MHz. These other cables may cause signal loss. Do not use existing cables such as RG-59. Use waterproof F-connectors outdoors.

3Peel off the blue sticker and affix it to the cable close to where it connect to the Satellite In connection on the back of the receiver. The sticker is in the front cover of this guide.

4On the remote control, press Menu, select System Setup (6), Installation (1), and then Point Dish (1) to display the Point Dish screen on the TV.

5Select Check Switch. Select Test.

6The receiver begins performing the Check Switch tests. When it is finished, the Installation Summary screen displays.

7Make sure that the information on the Installation Summary screen identifies your system correctly and shows all transponders for all satellites in your system.

8Select OK to go to the Point Dish/Signal screen.

9Select Cancel to exit the Point Dish menu. At this point, the receiver may walk you through a procedure to download software. If this prompt displays, follow the instructions and do not disturb the receiver until the TV is displaying DISH Network video. Otherwise, press View TV. After a few minutes, you should be watching TV.

CONNECTING THE PHONE LINE

You must keep the receiver connected to an active telephone line to order Pay-Per-View programs, use all of the DISH Home Interactive features, or other services from DISH Network with your remote control.

Note: You may be able to use a wireless modem jack. However, this may not support all the features of this receiver, such as Caller ID. See dishnetwork.com for compatible modem products.

Note: If you have a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), you may have to install a DSL filter between the receiver’s back panel Phone Jack and the telephone wall jack to successfully connect with DISH Network. You can obtain a filter from your DSL provider.
