Receiver Description and Installation
Connecting the Receiver to the Phone Line
Keep the receiver connected to an active telephone line so you can order Pay-
Per-View programs and use all of the dish home Interactive TV features, and
other services from DISH Network.
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 Jack to an active telephone connection.
Phone System Setup
You must also set up the receiver for your telephone system (touch tone or
rotary), and set a telephone number prefix, if you need a prefix to make an
outside call.
1. Display the Phone System screen by pressing MENU-6-1-4.
2. Select the Touch Tone or the Rotary/Pulse option in the Phone Type list.
3. Select either the No Prefix or the Prefix Code option in the Outside Line
Prefix list.
Note: The Outside Line Prefix is usually used only for business
installations. For most residential installations, all you need set is the
Phone Type.
4. If you selected the No Prefix option, select Save to finish.
5. If you selected the Outside Line Prefix option, the receiver highlights the
box where you must enter the exact sequence you dial the phone to obtain
an outside line.
6. Select Save to save the settings.
