Connecting Your Receiver to a Phone Line

You must keep the receiver connected to an active telephone line. Otherwise,

you may not be able to order Pay-Per-View programs or use all of the

dish

Interactive TV

features. Run a telephone cable with a standard RJ-11

connector from the receiver's back panel P

J

ACK

to an active telephone

connection.

Note

: You may be able to use a wireless telephone extender. However, this may

not support all the features of your receiver, such as Caller ID.
You must also set up the receiver for your telephone system (touchtone or

rotary/pulse), and set a telephone number prefix, if you need a prefix to make an

outside call.

1. Display the

Installation and Setup

menu (press MENU then 6-1).

2. Select the

Telephone System

option (4) to display the

Telephone System

Setup

menu.

3. Select the

Touch Tone

or the

Rotary/Pulse

option in the

Phone Type

list.

4. If you do not need a dialing prefix to call outside your premises, select the

Save

option, and stop here. If you do need to set a prefix to dial outside

your premises (for example, dial 9 to get an outside line), go to step 5.

Note

: Usually, you need a telephone number prefix only for business

installations. For most residential installations, all you need to do is set the

telephone system type.
5. Move the highlight to the

Outside Line Prefix

list. Press the SELECT/OK

button to select the highlighted option.

Tip: If the receiver
is connected to

a phone line

with Digital
Subscriber Line
(DSL), you may
need to install a
DSL filter between
the receiver and
the telephone
jack. You can
obtain the filter
from your DSL
provider.
