Safety Instructions
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with a dry cloth.
7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A
polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A groundingtype plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the
third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into
your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11. Use only attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified
by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is
used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination
to avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused
for long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when
the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as the power supply cord or
plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the
apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not
operate normally, or has been dropped.
Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no
objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the
apparatus.

Safety Instructions
Note to HDTV monitor installer: This reminder is provided to call the satellite
TV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical Code
(NEC) that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies
that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building
as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
Safety Tips
• Unplug the monitor from the AC power outlet before cleaning.
• The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the monitor
manufacturer will void the Limited Warranty.
•Do not place the monitor in an enclosure such as a cabinet without proper
ventilation.
•Do not stack the monitor on top of or below other electronic devices.
• Operate the monitor using only the type of power source indicated on the
marking label. Unplug the monitor power cord by gripping the power plug, not
the cord.
•Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords, as this can result in a risk of
fire or electrical shock.
• Never insert objects of any kind into the monitor through openings, as the
objects may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts. This could cause
fire or electrical shock.
• Make sure that the outdoor parts of the antenna system are grounded in
accordance with local, state, federal, and National Electrical Code (NEC)
requirements.
•Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or power circuits, or where it can
fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme
care to avoid touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them can be
fatal.
•Do not attempt to service the monitor yourself, as opening or removing covers
may expose you to dangerous voltage, and will void the Limited Warranty.
Refer all servicing to authorized service personnel.
• Use an outlet that contains surge suppression or ground fault protection. For
added protection during a lightning storm, or when the monitor is left
unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug the power cord from the
wall outlet and disconnect the lines between the monitor and the antenna. This
will provide some protection against damage caused by lightning or power line
surges.

HDTV satellite receiver. This connection provides the highest quality digital
signal available for HD programming.
Unified Remote Control
The remote control provided with your DISH DVI-equipped DISH Network
receiver seamlessly controls both your DISH Network HDTV monitor and
satellite receiver. To program the remote to control other devices, see the
satellite TV receiver User’s Guide.
How to Use This Guide

Monitor Description
Front Panel Connections
The monitor has front panel connections for
convenience: one set of audio/video inputs,
an S-video input, and a headphone jack.
Note: These connections may be on the side
of the monitor.
Headphones
Connect headphones to listen to the sound coming from the monitor. For
instructions on how to adjust the headphone audio settings, see page 9.
L/Mono and R Audio In
The L/MONO (white) and R (red) connectors receive audio from another
device such as a VCR, camcorder, or video game console.
Video In
The VIDEO IN (yellow) connector receives video from another device such as
a VCR, camcorder, or video game console. For information on how to
display video from this input, see page 9.
Tip: Remember
to connect the
left and right
audio cables
because the
DISH DVI cable
carries the picture signal, not
the sound.
S-Video
The S-VIDEO receives video from another device. Make sure you also
connect audio cables from the device to the monitor’s RCA-type audio
connectors. For information on how to display video from this input, see
page 9.
Note: Do not try to use the S-VIDEO and VIDEO IN at the same time because
the two signals interfere with each other.
Monitor Back Panel
DISH DVI Input
Connect an activated DISH DVI-equipped
DISH Network HD receiver to watch high
definition programming. For information on

purchased separately.
• EXT/INT (switch) - Lets you turn the monitor’s internal speakers on or
off. EXT sends audio to external speakers only. INT sends audio to the
monitor’s internal speakers only.
Wired IR
This jack is for connecting a wired remote control system, which
is primarily for professional installers. If you’re using the remote
that was included with your TV, don’t plug anything into this jack.
Antenna/Cable (Capped)
Connect an antenna to receive the signal from an off-air
antenna.
Note: For the best viewing experience, you should use the off-
air tuner provided in your DISH DVI-equipped DISH Network
satellite receiver. The satellite receiver’s off-air tuner can
receive both analog and digital off-air broadcasts, integrates
off-air programming into its Electronic Program Guide, and
allows all of the satellite and off-air programming to be viewed
over a single high-quality digital connection.
