17. When the software upgrade is complete, you will see a message
that your receiver’s memory is being upgraded.
While this message is displaying, the green power light on the
receiver’s front panel will blink. Do not disturb the receiver while
the green light is blinking.
If you will be installing a multi-dish system, follow the
instructions that begin below. If not, skip to the section that
begins on page 94 titled Grounding the System for instructions on
how to ground your system.
INSTALLING A MULTIPLE DISH DISHPRO SYSTEM
Important: You cannot use DishPro LNBFs and switches (those
marked with the DishPro logo) together with Legacy switches and
LNBFs (those without the DishPro logo).You must install your DISH
antenna system with either all DishPro LNBFs and switches or all
Legacy LNBFs and switches. If you mix the two, the system will not
work.
Note: If you are installing a DishPro receiver into a system with
DishPro LNBFs (and/or switches), you can have as much as 200 feet
of cable between the LNBF and the receiver. However, you must use
only RG-6 coaxial cables rated for 950 to 2150 MHz. Some cables
may say "Swept tested for 2150 MHz." If you have any doubt about
this, ask your Dish retailer, or look on the container the cable came in.
Do not use cable company TV cables or cables from other satellite TV
systems not rated for 950-2150 MHz. These other cables may cause
signal loss. Do not use existing cables such as RG-59. Also, be sure
that any outdoor connections are made using waterproof F-
connectors.
Once you have installed the DISH 500 with DishPro LNBFs (using
the preceding instructions), you can now install a DISH 300 with a
single DishPro LNBF as follows:
1. Turn on the television and the receiver if they are not already on.
You should see the Point Dish/Signal screen. If not, open the
Main Menu andpress6-1-1ontheremote.
2. Make sure there is a check mark next to the satellite your dish will
be pointing at. If there is not, use the Up and Down arrows on the
remote to move the highlight to the box next to the correct
satellite, and then press select on the remote.
3. Enter your Zip code to get the necessary azimuth and elevation.
Write these down.
4. Connect an RG-6 cable from the Satellite In port on the DishPro
receiver’s back panel directly to the single DishPro LNBF on the
DISH 300. Make sure there are no multi-dish switches between
the LNBF and the DishPro receiver.
5. Select Check Switch from the Point Dish/Signal menu.
When the Check Switch screen opens, select Check.
