Running Coaxial Cable

1. Using the shortest path possible, run the coaxial cable(s) from the ground

block or switch to the satellite rec eiver(s) . Do not kink or pinch a ny cable.

Cables should be bent only in gentle curves.

Do not use a longer cable between the satellite dish and the

receiver than is specified in the DishPro or Legacy system

installation instructions. If your system require s more cable

than the limit specified in these installation instructions, you

should consider having the system professionally installed.

2. Put a drip loop in each cable at a point before it enters the building. A drip

loop allows moisture to drip from the cable before it runs into

the building.

Before drilling any holes in the wall or roof of your building,

make sure that there are no wir es or pipe s in the area of the

holes. If you a re not comfortable doing this, contact a

professional in your a rea. M ake sure that you follow all safety

instructions and building codes.

3. Locate each receiver inside the building, against or ne ar an outside wall.

Then drill a hole through the outer wall to pass a cable inside the building. If

a receiver is located in an inter ior room, run a cable through the outside

wall, and into an attic, basement, or crawl space in order to reach the

receiver.

4. Seal all holes that you drill in the building with silicone or other weather -

proof sealant after installa tion. Once each cable is inside the building, you

may attach it to a wall receptacle or directly to a receiver.

Tighten the back panel coaxial cable connections only by

hand. Using a wrench may over-tighten the connections,

causing damage. Such damage is not covered by the Limite d

WarrantyintheUser Guide that came with the system.
