If you haveany questions about your telephone line, such as how many pieces of equipment you can connect to it, your telephone company should provide this information upon request.

In certain circumstances, it may benecessary for your telephone company to requestinformation from you concerning the equipment which you have connected to your telephone line. Upon request of your telephone company, provide theFCC registrationnumber andthe Ringer Equivalence Number(REN) of the equipment which is connected to your line; both of these items are listed onthe equipment label. The sum of allthe REN’s onyour telephone line should beless than five in orderto assure proper service from

DSR405 User Guide i

your telephonecompany. Insome cases, a sum of five maynot be usable on a given line. NOTE: The REN for the Digital Entertainment Receiver with Impulse Pay-Per-View is 0.3B.

If Problems Arise

If any ofyour telephone equipmentis notoperatingproperly,you shouldimmediately remove itfrom your telephone line, asit may cause harmto the telephonenetwork. If yourtelephonecompany notes a problem, they may temporarily discontinue service. When practical,they will notify you inadvance of thisdisconnection.

Safeguard Instructions

1. Forthe groundwire, useNo. 10 AWG (5.3mm2) copper,No. 8 AWG (8.4mm2) aluminum, No.17

AWG (1.0mm2) copper-clad steel orbronze wire,or larger.

2. Secure the antenna lead-in wire and ground wires to the house with stand-off insulators spaced 4 ft.

(1.22mm)to 6 ft.(1.83mm) apart.

3. Mount theantenna discharge unit as closeas possible tothe place wherethe lead-in enters the house.

4. Use a jumper wire thatis no smaller thanNo. 6 AWG(13.3mm2) copper,or the equivalent,when

usinga separateantenna groundingelectrode. SeeNEC Section810-21(1).

5. In areas that areheavily prone tolightningstorms install a lightningrod mountedto the top of the

antenna on the back side. Installa grounds trap (2AWG, or larger,of copperw ire) from the lightning rod to the rest of the antennaground system.

6. Section 810of the NationalElectricalCode, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984, providesinformation about

the following items:

- Proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure.

- Grounding ofthe lead-in wireto the antenna discharge unit.

- Size of grounding conductors.

- Location of antenna-discharge unit.

- Connectiontogroundingelectrodes.

- Requirement for thegrounding electrode.

Note to the system installer: The purpose of th is reminder is to call your attention to Article 82040 of the NEC that provides guidelines for propergroundingand, in particular, specifies that the cableground shall be connected to the grounding systemof the building,as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Programming the Remote Control

The remotecontrol is set at the factoryto control all of the satellite receiver functions, but touseit to operateyour TV, VCR and auxiliary components as well, you must "program" it for the brand you own. Follow these instructions to program the remote to control your TV, VCR and auxiliary (AUX) components.

1. Turn on the connected c omponent for programming.

2. Use the table thatappears later in this section to find the brand of TV, VCR or auxiliary component.

3. After the manufacturer’s brand name is a three-digit code number (or several three-digit codes).

4. Press and hold the TV, VCR or AUX key on the remote control for at least three seconds or until the light on your remote flashes.

5. If you are programming the TV or VCR key, continue with step 6. If you are programming the AUX key, first press the SAT, TV or VCR mode key to specify the type of device to be controlled before proceeding with step 6.

6. When the light flashes, key in the first of the three-digit codes (listed in the table) for your component using the number keys on the remote control. Make sure to do this accuratelyand without a long delay.If programming the AUX key for a satellite receiver use one of the following SAT codes: 000, 001, 002, or 003.

7. If the remote control "accepts" the code, you will see several rapid flashes of the light. If it does not flash, repeat steps 4, 5 and 6. After the remote control acceptsthe code, press the POWER key on the remote control to make sure the remote control is able to turn your component off. This m eans it is functioning properly.

8. If your component does not respond to the remote control POWER key, even though it has "accepted" the manufacturer’s code, repeat steps 4, 5, and 6 using the s econd three-digit code from the table. If this does not work, try the third code, etc., until the remote control accepts the code and your component respondsto the POWER key.

NOTE: Some cable box brands are also programmable using these instructions. Check the table that appearslater in this section for applicable cable box brands and codes.You will presstheTVkeytoprogram your cable box. Your remote can only accept a TV or cable box code for this programming step.

If Your Three-Digit Code is not in the Tables (Scanning)

If you try to program your remote control using the three-digit codes, and the remotecontrol does not work correctly, you may be able to find a code thatworks by using the "scanning" process.

1. Turn on the TV or the VCR-depending upon whether you wish to program the remote control for your TV or for your VCR.

2. Press the TV key (or VCR key) for at least three seconds or until the LED blinks.

3. The following steps explain how to "scan" through the TV (or VCR) codes stored in your remote control using the notbelitwhilethe

- If the transmittedcode is the correct one, your TV (or VCR) will turn off,responding as if its POWER key were pressed.

- If your TV (or VCR) does not respond, depress the next code. When your TV (or VCR) turns on oroff as a result of the transmitted code, you will know that you have found the correct code.

- When you have found the correct code (power to your TV or VCR is toggledon or off), press the ENTER key. This will store the manufacturer’scode. The LED will then flash rapidly several timesand turn off.

Verifying Your TV, VCR and AUX Mode Codes

You can verify theaccept ed programmingcodes for eachmodeby followingthese steps.

1. Press the TV, VCR, AUX key for at least three seconds or until the

LED blinks.

2. Press the "INFO" key.

3. The LED will blink, indicatingthecode of your TV, VCR or auxiliary

component in the following sequence. For example, if your TV code is for a Tandy brand TV (code 105) the blink pattern will be:

- Pause>long blink "1;"

- Pause>short blink "0;"

- Pause>long blink, long blink, long blink, long blink, long blink"5."

A zero in the code will always be represented by a short blink.

4. For the AUX mode only, after the code is verified the appropriate

mode key will blink to indicate the component being controlled.

If You Have More Than One Satellite Receiver

If you have more than one satellite receiver,you may want to prevent the remote controlsfromaffecting the other receivers. To prevent this kind of interference, you must"pair" eachremote controlwithone receiver. In order to do this,you will have to assign a new "address" to each pair of remote controls and receivers so that each pair functions independently of the others.If you have two or more receivers, see Chapter 10 for information about the procedure for changing addresses.

UsingYourRemote

Replacing the Remote Control Batteries

When the remote control batteries are worn out (discharged), the remote will stop working. Replacethebatteries as soon as possible to retain your programmed codes. Once you remove the batteries from the compartment, you must replace them within two hours to retain yourprogrammable features. The remote control for this unit may be powered by two AA batteries. Use only high quality, noncorrosivebatteries designed for useinelectronicequipment. Rememberto replace both batteries at the same time. T o replace the batteries:

- Remove the cover by pressing down the back panel indentation and removing the panel off the remote control.

- Position each battery in the battery compartment so that the flat base (-) is againstthespring and so that the raised contact (+) is againstthe terminal. Make sure the batteriesare securely seated.
