Warning and Attention Symbols
You must be aware of safety when you install and use this system. This User Guide provides various procedures. If you do some of these procedures carelessly, you could injure or kill yourself or damage equipment or property. Some other procedures require special attention.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
For Your Safety
Do not try to open the case. There is risk of electrical shock, which may cause damage to the apparatus and/or personal injury or death to you. There are no user­serviceable parts inside. Opening the case or making unauthorized changes will void the warranty.
Warning: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.
Important Software Notice
As with all software controlled products, unexpected behavior could arise if the user tries to perform operations in a non-routine manner. This product, like almost any other high tech product, is subject to bugs and hence DISH Network CANNOT AND DOES NOT GUARANTEE OR WARRANT THAT ALL FEATURES, SUCH AS PARENTAL CONTROLS, WILL WORK AS INTENDED UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES. DISH Network endeavors to improve such conditions and will periodically download improvements.

Important Safety Instructions
CAUTION—To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26
AWG or larger telecommunication line cord.
Locate the receiver in an open, well-ventilated area. Do not place the receiver in an enclosure (such as a cabinet) without proper ventilation.
Do not impede ventilation by covering the ventilation slots (such as with magazines, curtains, tablecloth, etc.), or the receiver will overheat.
Do not stack the receiver on top of or below other electronic devices as this can cause heat build-up and vibration.
Do not install the receiver in any area where the temperature can be less than 40°F or more than 113°F, and do not cover it.
Connect the power plug to an outlet having a safety ground connection. The power plug must be readily accessible so that the equipment can be easily disconnected from the AC power.
Operate the receiver using only the type of power source indicated on the marking label. Unplug the receiver power cord by gripping the power plug, not the cord.
Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords — this can result in a risk of fire or electrical shock.
Never insert objects of any kind through openings into the receiver, as the objects may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts. This could cause fire or electrical shock.
Do not attempt to service the receiver 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.
Unplug the receiver from the AC power outlet before cleaning. The receiver is still connected to the AC power whenever it is plugged in to a live power outlet, even if the receiver is “turned off” using the remote control or front panel button.

SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
Do not place naked flame sources such as lighted candles on or near the receiver.
Do not expose the remote control batteries to excessive heat or fire.
Note to Installer: This reminder is provided to call the installer's attention to Article 810 section II 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.
Example of Antenna Grounding

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.

Proper Care of Your Equipment
PROPER CARE OF YOUR EQUIPMENT
Always handle the receiver carefully. Excessive shock and vibration can damage the hard drive.
Always turn the receiver off, unplug it, and then let it sit idle for at least 30 seconds before moving it.
If the receiver is cold to the touch, do not plug it in immediately. Let it sit unplugged at room temperature for at least 45 minutes before plugging it in.
The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the receiver manufacturer will void the Limited Warranty.
If you plug the receiver’s power cord into an outlet that contains surge suppression, then verify you are using a HomePlug­compatible surge-protected power strip or socket . Do not plug the receiver into an outlet with ground fault protection.
During an electrical storm or when the receiver is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, and disconnect the lines between the receiver and the antenna. This will provide additional protection against damage caused by lightning or power-line surges.
In some TVs, the presence of fixed images for extended periods of time may cause permanent imprints on the screen. Consult your TV’s manufacturer and user manual to determine if this is an issue for your TV.

DISH Network’s Exchange Program
DISH Network offers two options if you need to replace your satellite receiver equipment or its accessories.
Advance Exchange Program
The Advance Exchange Program allows you to have replacement equipment shipped immediately to you (depending upon where you live, it could take three to five business days). Along with replacement equipment, you will receive a prepaid shipping label and instructions on how to return the defective equipment. The shipping charge, for receiving replacement equipment and returning the defective equipment, is a one-time fee based on DISH Network's competitive bulk shipping rates (additional charges may apply outside of the continental US). This fee will be charged to your billing account or your valid credit card. If you do not ship the defective equipment to DISH Network within ten days after receiving the replacement, your billing account or credit card will be charged the market price of the replacement. If you return the defective equipment after ten days, you will receive a full refund less an administrative fee.
If your equipment is out of warranty and can be repaired your billing account or credit card will be charged the standard repair fee for the replacement. If damage to the defective equipment is found, which DISH Network in its sole discretion determines has voided the warranty, or makes the equipment unrepairable, billing account or credit card will be charged the market price of the replacement.
Post Receipt Exchange Program
You may choose to ship the equipment to us at your cost. To provide faster service, upon receipt of your equipment you will be shipped a replacement. Your original equipment will not be available for return.
The equipment you return will be checked to verify whether it is covered under this warranty. If the defective equipment is covered under this warranty, it will be replaced and shipped back to you at no additional cost (additional charges may apply outside of the continental US).
If your equipment is out of warranty and can be repaired your billing account or credit card will be charged the standard repair fee for the replacement. If damage to the defective equipment is found, which DISH Network in its sole discretion determines has voided the warranty, or makes the equipment unrepairable, your billing account or credit card will be charged the market price of the replacement.
Accessory Warranty
An accessory is any DISH Network branded equipment, displaying the DISH Network logo, excluding the receiver, cables and hookups, and non-mechanical components. A one-year warranty becomes effective upon the activation of the DISH system or date of purchase, if bought separately. A proof of purchase is required to verify the purchase date. If an accessory has an expired warranty, no exchange will be issued. You may purchase replacement accessories from DISH Network or your local retailer.

If we allow you to do so, each additional receiver will be authorized to receive the same Services as your initial receiver, subject to the limitations of your television equipment. All of your receivers must be located at the same residence and continuously connected to the same land-based telephone line and/or broadband home network. If you wish to receive Services at two different residential locations, you must open a separate account for each location, unless otherwise specifically authorized by Dish Network. You may not directly or indirectly use a single account for the purpose of authorizing Services for multiple DISH Network receivers that are not all located in the same residence and connected to the same land-based telephone line and/or broadband home network. If we later determine that you did, we may disconnect your Services and, in addition to all other applicable fees, you agree to pay us the difference between the amounts actually received by us and the full retail price for the Services authorized for each DISH Network receiver on your account.
C. Smart Cards. inserted into a slot or otherwise installed in such receiver. Not all receivers with a Smart Card slot require a Smart Card for proper authorization. Smart Cards remain the property of DISH Network at all times and must be returned to us upon our request. Smart Cards are not transferable. Your Smart Card will only work in the DISH Network receiver to which it was assigned by DISH Network. If you report to our customer service center that your Smart Card has been lost, damaged, defective or stolen, we will replace it, unless there is evidence of unauthorized tampering or modification, and a Smart Card Replacement Fee will apply. In addition, in order to minimize downtime for your Equipment, DISH Network will, upon your request, deliver a replacement Smart Card to you via overnight delivery, in which case an Overnight Delivery Fee will apply.
D. PVR/DVR. products allow you to record programming in digital format. Total available recording time varies depending on your receiver and the nature of the programs being recorded.

FCC COMPLIANCE
The following text is extracted from Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations, as of the publication date of this Guide. Contact the FCC (see following) or your library for the complete text of the regulations.
Telephone Communication
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the back panel of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company.
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant, such as RJ-11. See installation instructions for details.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn't practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.
If trouble is experienced with this equipment, for repair or warranty information, please contact DISH Network at 1-800-333-DISH (3474). If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved.
There are no user serviceable parts inside. Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility
commission, public service commission or corporation commission for information. If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the
installation of this equipment does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.

Compliance Information Statement
DISH Network Corporation, 9601 S. Meridian Blvd, Englewood, CO., (303) 723-1000, declares that: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Do not make changes or modifications to this equipment. This could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
There are many devices that allow you to connect your antenna to your in-home distribution system such as splitters, and amplifiers. The FCC requires that the isolation between the antenna port and the network port of your system meet the following:
80dB from 54 MHz to 216 MHz, at least
60dB from 216 MHz to 550 MHz and at least
55dB from 550 MHz to 806 MHz
Measuring the isolation of a device requires specialized equipment. In most cases, it is easier to purchase a splitter or amplifier with the correctly specified isolation from your local television retailer. The above requirements are extracted from 47CFR15.115. For the complete text please visit WWW.FCC.GOV.
Signal Strength Present at the Television
The software-based attenuator within the satellite receiver will limit the signal present at your television set to below the FCC signal strength limit of 75.6dBuV. If you choose not to enable the attenuator, you must ensure that the signal strength present at the TV set does not exceed
75.6dBuV.
Connecting to an Over-the-Air Antenna
In order to receive local broadcast channels, you may wish to install an over-the-air antenna into your over-the-air tuner module or TV distribution equipment. There are many devices that allow you to connect your antenna to your in-home distribution system such as splitters and amplifiers. You must be careful to meet certain FCC regulations with respect to the isolation between the antenna port and the network port of your system. It is recommended that you purchase a splitter or amplifier with the correctly specified isolation from your local satellite television retailer.
