DISH Pro Twin LNBF

You may not have connected the

receiver to an active telephone line.

Or, the telephone line may be

defective.

Maybe the receiver is connected to a

DSL (Digital Subscriber Line)

phone line.

Connect the receiver to an active telephone line.

Make sure that the telephone line to which you connect the receiver

is working properly.

Note: To be able to order Pay-Per-View programs, you must keep

the receiver connected to an active telephone line at all times. If

your setup includes more than one receiver, this applies to each

receiver. The receiver uses the telephone line to make toll-free

calls, usually in the middle of the night, to send information to the

Customer Service Center.
Install a DSL filter between the receiver and the telephone

wall jack.

defaults,” that is, the settings it had

when it was shipped from the

factory.

If you want to reset the receiver to its factory default settings, select

the Yes option. If not, select the No option.
