SMART HELP
• If you don't see these screens, go to Access
Control on page 35.
• If the incorrect zip code is entered or your zip code
changes, you will need to contact DIRECTV to have
the correction downloaded to your system.
The Installation Wizard is a first time setup that
includes entering your zip code, selecting the dish
configuration, pointing the dish, and testing the
system. A series of screens will be displayed and
you will be prompted with onscreen instructions.
Once you have entered all the requested informa-
tion, a System Test screen displays. Be sure you
have contacted DIRECTV and arranged for service.
For installing your satellite dish and making
connections, refer to the separate installation guide
for the satellite dish.
After the initial installation, you may want to later
access the installation features, for example, if you
have moved the dish. The following sections
describe the steps in the Installation menu.
To access the installation menu:
Press the MENU button on the remote.
