Receiver Description and Installation
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.
Phone System Setup
You must also set up the receiver for your type of telephone system (touch-tone
or rotary/pulse dial), and set a telephone number prefix, if you need a prefix to
make an outside call.
1. Display the
Phone System screen by pressing MENU-6-1-4.
2. Select the Touch Tone or the Rotary/Pulse option in the Phone Type list.
3. Select either the
No Prefix or the Prefix Code option in the Outside Line
Prefix 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 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, skip to step 5.
4. If you selected the
No Prefix option, select Save to finish.
5. If you selected the
Prefix code option, then the receiver highlights the box
where you must enter the exact sequence you dial to obtain an outside line
in the bottom box.
6. Select the
Save option to save the settings.
Connecting the Receiver to a Dish Antenna System
Note: Before you can begin connecting your receiver to your dish antenna, you
must first complete the preceding sections on connecting your TVs to the
receiver. If you already have a dish antenna system installed and peaked for
maximum signal strength, complete the following instructions to connect the
dish antenna system to the receiver. If you do not have an antenna system
installed, contact DISH at 800-333-DISH (3474).
