Appendix A
ALTERNATE INSTALLATION PROCEDURES FOR DISHPRO SYSTEMS
The following instructions are to be used to connect the receiver directly
to a DishPro LNBF which allows the receiver to take a software upgrade
from the satellite. After taking the software upgrade, the installation can
be completed. This procedure assumes that you have already completed
steps 1 through 6 from the preceding instructions.
1. Connect an RG-6 coaxial cable from the Satellite In port on the
receiver's back panel directly to any LNBF on a dish that has been
installed and pointed for the strongest possible signal. Make sure
there are no switches between the LNBF and the receiver (see
“Grounding the System” on page 94 for detailed cabling instructions).
You may want to use an in-line cable connector to bypass a switch. If
your system is already connected this way, go to the next step.
2. 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.
Note: Your receiver and TV should already be connected and
powered on.
3. Look to make sure the number under Transponder is an odd num-
ber higher than 10 (for example, 11, 13, or 15) and you see a green
signal strength bar. If you do not see an odd number higher than 10,
move the highlight to the box under Transponder and use the Up or
Down arrow on the remote to change the number until it is an odd
number higher than 10 and you see a green signal strength bar. If you
are unable to get a green signal strength bar:
a. If you see the message Wrong Sat and the signal strength bar is
red, move the check mark in the Point Dish/Signal menu to the
satellite location indicated below the bar and the bar should turn
green.
b. If you do not see a signal strength bar on any odd transponder,
temporarily shorten the cable between the LNBF and the receiver
to 100 feet or less and then repeat step 3.
4. Once you have a green signal strength bar, press Cancel on the
remote to exit the Point Dish/Signal screen.
5. An Attention screen will open. This screen asks if the mounting and
positioning of your dish is complete with a Locked indication in the
Point Dish/Signal screen. Since your system is already installed
and your dish is pointed for the strongest possible signal strength, you
can select Yes.
