MESSAGE
ON/OFF/MESSAGE Turns the DSS receiver on and off. When the DSS receiver is turned off, a flashing light indicates that a message has been sent by the Customer Service Center. Note: the DSS receiver is never really “off,” but is put into a standby state.
TV/DSS Switches the OUT TO TV connection from DSS programming to the normal TV antenna or cable input. Similar to the TV/VCR button on many VCRs.
ARROW KEYS Allows you to move around the Program Guide and menu system. Use these to point before selecting an item. When you are not in the Program Guide or the menu system, the up/down arrows can be used to change channels.
MENU Brings up the Main menu.
SELECT/DISPLAY Chooses an item you have pointed to when using the Program Guide or menus. Also brings up a channel marker showing the time, channel, and other program details when you are viewing a program or previewing a coming attraction.
ACCESS CARD SLOT Insert your access card with the arrow face up and pointing toward the box. The DSS receiver is shipped with the access card inserted into the slot. Do not remove the access card, except to install a new card issued to you as a replacement for the original card.
* The front panel can be used to control the DSS receiver when the remote is unavailable.
Caution:
Do not stack electronic components or other objects on top of the receiver. The slots on top of the receiver must be left uncovered to allow proper airflow to the unit. Blocking airflow to the receiver could impair performance or cause damage to your receiver or other components.
Do not stack the receiver on top of a “hot” component, such as an audio power amplifier.
