Connecting the Phone Line
Note: If you are installing your receiver into a system with DISH Pro or DISH Pro Plus
LNBFs (and/or switches), you can have as much as 200 feet of cable between the LNBF
and the receiver. However, you must use only RG-6 coaxial cables rated up to at least
2150 MHz. Some cables may say “Swept tested for 2150 MHz.” If you have any doubt
about this, ask your DISH Network retailer, or look on the container the cable came in. Do
not use cable company TV cables or cables from other satellite TV systems not rated up to
at least 2150 MHz. These other cables may cause signal loss. Do not use existing cables
such as RG-59. Use waterproof F-connectors outdoors.

Peel off the blue stickers and affix them to the cables close to where they connect to the
Satellite In 1 and Satellite In 2 connections on the back of the receiver. The stickers are in
the front cover of this guide.

On Remote Control 1, press Menu, select System Setup (6), Installation (1), and then
Point Dish (1) to display the Point Dish screen on the nearby HDTV.

The receiver begins performing the Check Switch tests. When it is finished, the Installation
Summary screen displays.

Make sure that the information on the Installation Summary screen identifies your system
correctly and shows all transponders for all satellites in your system.

Select OK to go to the Point Dish/Signal screen.

Select Cancel to exit the Point Dish menu. At this point, the receiver may walk you through
a procedure to download software. If this prompt displays, follow the instructions and do
not disturb the receiver until the nearby HDTV is displaying DISH Network video.
Otherwise, press View TV. After a few minutes, you should be watching TV.

You must keep the receiver connected to an active telephone line to order Pay-Per-View
programs, use all of the DISH Home Interactive features, or other services from DISH
Network with your remote control.
Note: You may be able to use a wireless modem jack. However, this may not support all
the features of this receiver, such as Caller ID. See www.dishnetwork.com for compatible
modem products.
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 DISH Network. You can obtain a filter from your DSL provider.
Phone Line Connection
Run a telephone cable with a standard RJ-11 connector from the receiver’s back panel
Phone Jack to an active telephone connection.
