Receiver Description and Installation
Note: You may be able to use a wireless modem jack. However,
this may not support all the features of this receiver, such as Caller ID.
See information on www.dishnetwork.com for compatible modem products.
Note: If you have Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), then you may have to install a
DSL filter between the receiver’s back panel PHONE JACK and the telephone
wall jack to successfully connect with DISH Network. You can obtain such a
filter from your DSL provider or local consumer-electronics parts store.
Phone Line Connection
Run a telephone cable with a standard RJ-11 connector from the receiver’s back
panel Phone jack to an active telephone connection.
Phone System Setup
You must also set up the receiver for your type of telephone system (touch-tone
or rotary/pulse dialing), and set a telephone number prefix, if you need to dial a
prefix to make an outside call.
1. Display the
Phone System screen by pressing MENU-6-1-4.
2. Select the
Touch Tone or the Rotary/Pulse option in the Phone Type list.
3. Select either the
No Prefix or the Prefix Code option in the Outside Line
Prefix
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 there. If you do need to set a prefix, then instead of selecting the
Save option, continue to step 5.
4. If you selected the
No Prefix option, select Save to finish.
5. If you selected the
Prefix code option, then the receiver highlights the box
where you must enter the exact numerical sequence you must dial on the
phone to obtain an outside line.
6. After entering this prefix, select the
Save option to save the settings.
