Installation Instructions
Connecting the 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 features. Run a telephone cable with a standard RJ-11
connector from the receiver’s back panel
PHONE JACK 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 some receivers, such as Caller ID.
Note : If you have a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), you may have to install
a DSL filter between the receiver’s back panel PHONE JACK and the
telephone wall jack to successfully connect with the DISH Network. You
can obtain a filter from your DSL provider.
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 6-1-4 ).
2. Select the Telephone System option to display the Telephone System
Setup menu.
3. Select the Touch Tone or the Rotary/Pulse option in the Phone Type list.
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. The default setting of
No Prefix needed will allow
correct dialing. If this is the case, select the Save option to save the above
setting, and stop here. If you do need to set a prefix, then instead of
selecting the
Save option, go on to step 4.
4. Move the highlight to the Outside Line Prefix list. Press the SELECT
button to select the highlighted option.
