CONNECTING EACH RECEIVER TO A TELEPHONE LINE
You must keep each receiver connected to an active telephone line.
Otherwise, you may not be able to order pay per view programs or use
all of the DISH Interactive features. Run a telephone cable with a
standard RJ-11 connector from each receiver’s back panel
Phone Jack
to an active telephone connection.
Note: You may be able to use a wireless telephone extender. How-
ever, this may not support all the features of some receivers.
You must also set up each receiver for your telephone system (touch-
tone or rotary/pulse), and set a telephone number prefix, if you need a
prefix to make an outside call.
1. Display the
Installation and Setup menu.
2. Select the
Telephone System option to display the Telephone
System Setup
menu.
3. Select the
Touch Tone or the Rotary/Pulse optioninthePhone
Type
list.
Note: Usually, you need a telephone number prefix only for
business installations. For most residential installations, all you
need to do is set the telephone system type. The default setting of
No Prefix will allow correct dialing. If this is the case, select the
Save option to save the above setting, and stop here. If you do
need to set a prefix, then instead of selecting the
Save option, go
on to step 4.
4. Move the highlight to the
No Prefix or the Prefix code option in
the
Outside Line Prefix list. Press the Select button to select the
highlighted option.
Tip: If you have
the receiver
connected to a
Digital Sub-
scriber Line
(DSL) on the
phone line, you
may need to
install a DSL
filter between
the receiver
and the tele-
phone jack.
You can obtain
the filter from
your DSL pro-
vider.
