(NEC Section 810-21)

Note to Satellite TV System 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.

• 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 into the receiver through openings, as the objects may touch dangerous

voltage points or short out parts. This could cause fire or electrical shock.

• 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 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.

Proper Care of Your Equipment

• Always handle the satellite receiver carefully. Excessive shock and vibration can damage the hard drive.

• Unplug the receiver from the AC power outlet before cleaning.

• Always turn the receiver off, unplug it and let it sit for at least 30 seconds before moving it.

• The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the receiver manufacturer will void the Limited

Warranty.

• Do not place the receiver in an enclosure (such as a cabinet) without proper ventilation.

• 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. 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.

• Use an outlet that contains surge suppression or 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, disconnect the lines between the receiver and the antenna, and disconnect the telephone line. This will provide additional protection against damage caused by lightning or power line surges.

On some TVs, the presence of fixed images for extended periods of time may cause them to be permanently imprinted on the screen. Consult your TV user guide for information on whether this is a problem for your TV, what operating/viewing restrictions apply to avoid this problem, and associated TV warranty coverage.

Introduction

Additional Services

ABOUT SATELLITE TV RECEPTION

Satellite television uses satellites in a stationary orbit over the Earth to deliver television and audio programming. This type of orbit enables the satellites to stay aligned over one place on the surface of the Earth. Once the satellite dish is aimed at the satellite, the dish does not have to move to follow it.

Rain and Snow Fade

Heavy rain, snow, o r dense cloud cover can reduce the satellite signal, which may interrupt your programming service. Your service will return after the weather condition has passed. Aiming the satellite dish to get the strongest signal during installation, will help prevent rain and snow from interrupting the signal.

Chapter 1

Why Connect to a Phone Line

Solar Interference

Twice a year, the sun moves to a position behind the DISH Network satellites as they orbit the Earth. This event occurs during a few days at the beginning of the spring and the beginning of the autumn and lasts only a few minutes.

During these brief periods, you will not be able to see programs on DISH Network. When the sun has moved from behind the satellites, the programs will reappear. This is an unavoidable natural event and has an adverse effect on man y satellite program providers.

WHY CONNECT TO A PHONE LINE

Your satellite receiver is equipped with a standard telephone jack that you use to connect to an active telephone line. Keep the receiver connected to an active telephone line so that you will be able to order pay-per-view programs using your remote control, use all of the DishHOME Interactive TV features, and other services from DISH Network (see the instructions on page 108).

MOVING ON-SCREEN LOGO

Whenever the receiver is turned off, you will see the DISH Network logo moving around on your TV screen. This feature is included with your receiver to assure you that the connections between your receiver and TV(s) are not lost. Press POWER or SELECT on the remote control to resume watching satellite TV programming. Make sure you are using the correct remote for your TV-viewing location (see page 16 for details).

Introduction

Tips

TIPS

• Always have the latest software—Turn off the receiver when you’re not using it.

• Order Pay-Per-View with your remote control—Keep an active phone line

connected to the receiver. Not only will you have Pay-Per-View at your fingertips, but you’ll also avoid unnecessary charges.

SYSTEM INFO

QUESTIONS

• How do I find something to watch? Refer to page 5. For more information on finding

something to watch, see Chapter 3 - Finding Programs to Watch.

• Why are some of the channels red in the Program Guide? The channels that are red in the Program Guide are those which are not currently in your subscription. If you’d like to watch those channels, call 1-800-333-DISH (3474) or go to www.dishnetwork.com

• I’m looking at program information in a guide I bought at the grocery store, but nothing matches what’s on my DISH Network receiver , is something wrong? No.

DISH Network programming may vary from what you’ll find in a local publication. For best results, use the Program Guide on your receiver or order DISH Entertainment Magazine.

Adjusting the Remote Control Antenna

Be sure to set the remote control antenna (back of the receiver) straight up so you can use the remote control from as far away as possible. Don't let the antenna touch anything.

If your UHF Pro Remote Control 2 isn't working well from far away, you may be experiencing interference from objects near your receiver. To improve your remote control's range, try the following:

– Place the receiver higher than all of the other equipment in your

entertainment center.

– Provide room above the receiver so that the remote control antenna can

be installed straight up. If you cannot install the antenna straight up, tilt the antenna at about a 30° angle.

– Place the remote control antenna outside the entertainment center by

using a coaxial cable to connect the antenna to the receiver.

– Try moving the receiver to other locations. – Move any nearby over-the-air antennas away from the remote control

antenna. Do not place an over-the-air antenna on top of your receiver.

– Install a UHF attenuator. See Inst alling a UHF Attenuator for details.

Chapter 10

Battery

Improving Receiver Control

Changing the UHF Frequency Using the A/B Switch

Your remote control has a switch to change the UHF frequency tha t your r emote control u ses. The switch comes preset to the A position, but you can change the setting to the B position to lessen the likelihood of another UHF remote interfering with yours.

1. Remove the battery cover from the remo te control.

2. Use a small screw driver or a paper clip to carefully change the setting.

3. Put the battery cover back on the remote control.

4. Use the SYS INFO button on the front panel to open the System Informatio n screen.

5. Press RECORD on the remote control.

6. Make sure the System Information screen shows the correct band information:

• Switch position A - IR/UHF Pro Band A

• Switch Position B - IR/UHF Pro Band B

Installing a UHF Attenuator

Unwanted UHF signals may interfere with signals from the remote control to the receiver. To prevent such interference, you can install a 10 dB attenuator (a vailable from many consumer electronics parts stores). Adding this attenuator will help keep out stray UHF signals, but it also cut down how far away you can use the remote control.

1. Remove the remote control antenna from the R

NTENNA input on the receiver back panel.

2. Attach a 10 dB attenuator to the R

input.

3. Attach the remote control antenna to the attenuator.

The mode button flashes three times if you have entered the code correctly, and stores the code you found.

7. T urn the device back on and try some other buttons to make sure they work.

8. If necessary, repeat this procedure until you’ve tried all the codes.

Sometimes POWER works when other buttons don’t. If using Limited Mode, try VOLUME or MUTE.

You may need to repeat the scan to find the best code for your device.

The Recover Button

Use RECOVER if you have a snowy, blue, or black screen on your TV and cannot get the picture back from your satellite receiver. When you press RECOVER as described, the remote control sends commands to your TV to change channels or video inputs to get back to watching satellite programming. This procedure works only if you have accidentally changed the TV channel or video input. It does not recover lost satellite signal (See Troubleshooting on page 120 for more information).

Note: The remote must be programmed to control the TV (and VCR, if applicable) for RECOVER to work as described.

Note: RECOVER will first try to tune your TV to channel 3, then channel 4, and then other video inputs with each press of RECOVER. You may need to press RECOVER up to 30 times to recover

Tips

• If using a specific channel for TV2 (for example, channel 60), TV2’s remote control must be

programmed with a TV2 channel before you can use RECOVER.

• Place the channel sticker on the remote TV and write down the channel you use to watch

DISH Network programming. The stickers are inside the front cover of this guide.

• If you don’t want to accidentally change channels on your TV or VCR, the remote control in

Limited Mode as described on page 75.

• Make sure you have a remote control antenna connected so you ca n use Remote Control 2.

See page 17 for instructions.

Chapter 10

Questions

• My remote doesn’t control my receiver or other components. What should I do?

• Why does my receiver change channels or display menus at random? Your neighbor

may have their remote control set on the same address. Change the address on your remote control and receiver as described on page 72. If that doesn’t help, you may have to install a UHF attenuator as described on page 74.

Questions

– Ensure the remote control is in the correct mode (page 75). – Check the batteries (page 17). – Check the remote control address (pages 72 and 78). – Check the remote control antenna (page 17). – Adjust the remote control antenna (page 73).
