Connection Guidelines
It is important that you follow these guidelines when making any DR500 system connection:
•Do not plug the Receiver into an AC outlet until all connections have been made and you have read the Startup procedures in Section 3: Basic Operations.
•Turn the audio system amplifier OFF and the volume completely down.
•Connections should be
• The DR500 Receiver wall mount power supply is not polarized, and any orientation on the wall or power strip is acceptable. When mounting to a standard dual outlet, a screw is provided to prevent accidental removal of the wall mount power supply.
•The DR500 Receiver should not be plugged into an AC socket like those found on the rear of audio amplifiers.
•Once the DR500 is connected, turned on, and receiving the satellite signal, it should remain plugged in to an unswitched (on) AC outlet so that it can receive any programming updates, authorization commands, and information from the DMX/DBS National Authorization Control Center.
If the DR500 will not be used for extended periods of time, it should be turned off using the front panel power switch only. It should not be unplugged nor have its AC power turned off.
