TELEPHONE LINE INTERRUPTION
Periodically, the Digital Satellite Recorder dials in to the DVR service via your telephone line. If you pick up your telephone during the time
information is being transferred, you will hear static noise. If you would like to use your telephone while the information is being transferred, you can
hang up, wait about 5 seconds, and pick up your telephone again. The recorder will disconnect and allow you to place your call. You can also interrupt
the transfer at any time by temporarily unplugging the phone line from the recorder. If the transfer is interrupted, it will resume at a later time.
DIRECTV UPGRADES
Your recorder is able to receive upgrades or modifications to some of its features and functions. These modifications will occur automatically, usually
at times when the recorder would not be in use. If your recorder is in use when an upgrade or modification is sent, you may experience a disruption in
reception for a minute or two. Your reception should return to normal after the modification is complete. Your recorder must be plugged in to receive
the upgrade. Do not unplug your receiver while an upgrade is in progress.
