INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Connect an RG-6 coaxial cable (see notes below) from the Satellite In
port on the receiver's back panel to an available port on your switch or
LNBF in your existing system. See Chapter 4 wiring diagrams for
appropriate receiver connections in your system. See Grounding the
System in Chapter 4 for detailed cabling instructions.
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.
Note: If you are installing the DishPro receiver into a system with
Legacy LNBFs and/or switches (that do not have a DishPro logo),
you can have as much as 100 feet of cable between the LNBF and the
receiver. However, you must use only RG-6 cable - do not use
existing cables such as RG-59. Also, be sure that any outdoor
connections are made using waterproof F-connectors.
Warning: Tighten all the coaxial cable connections only by hand.
Using a wrench may over-tighten the connections, causing damage.
Such damage is not covered by the Limited warranty.
2. Connect a coaxial cable from the TV Set Out connection on your
receiver to your television's RF tuner input. Check to see that the
Channel 3/4 switch on the new receiver's back panel is set to the same
channel 3 or 4 as your TV.
3. Plug in the receiver's power cord. Make sure both the receiver and TV
are turned on.
4. You should see the Point Dish/Signal menu in the new receiver. If
you do not, open the Main Menu, by pressing Menu followed by 6-
1-1 on the remote.
5. Select Check Switch. An Attention screen will open. Select Check
to run Check Switch.
6. When Check Switch is complete, you will see an Installation Sum-
mary screen. If the screen shows the correct switch and the message
"Satellite reception verified" for all satellites in your system, go to
step 7. If not:
• If the Installation Summary screen does not detect all of the
satellites your system should be receiving:
a. Check and retighten (by hand) the cable connections between
your receiver, LNBFs and switches in your system. Then
press Retest to rerun Check Switch again. If this does not
work,dostepbbelow.
