SYSTEM OPTIONS

System Test The System Test display screen is accessed through the Options menu, and allows you to initiate diagnostic procedures on the satellite system. You should use this feature to get your Access Card number, or when your receiver doesn’t seem to be working correctly. There are four separate tests: signal, tuning, phone connection, and access card.

A message screen appears, telling you whether the system passed each test. If your system fails a test, run the system test several times before concluding that there is a problem. Occasional fluctuations in the phone line or satellite signal can give temporary false readings.
