Connecting the Phone Line

CONNECTING THE PHONE LINE

You must keep the receiver connected to an active telephone line (or broadband network connection) to order Pay-Per-View programs, use all of the DishHOME Interactive features, or use 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 www.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.

Phone Line Connection

Run a telephone cable with a standard RJ-11 connector from the receiver’s back panel PHONE to an active telephone connection as shown below.

Note: Do not connect the phone line to the Ethernet connection.
