four hours, the Update Numbers screen appears. Press SELECT to connect to the DVR
service to retrieve the most current list of dial-in numbers for that area code. After the
call completes, press SELECT. The Dial-In Number screen appears.
3. Use the UP/DOWN arrow to choose one of the numbers on the Dial-In Number
screen. The HD DVR will use this number to connect to the DVR service. After you
press SELECT, the Dialing Format screen will appear. If your area code has no access
numbers, you can press the LEFT arrow to return to the Area Code screen and try to
enter a nearby area code.
If you select “None of the Above” on the Dial-In Numbers screen, you will see a
reminder to go back and choose a local dial-in number. You are responsible for any
phone charges. If you are concerned about charges associated with any of the available
dial-in numbers, keep in mind that the HD DVR’s calls are very brief.
4. Use this screen to tell the HD DVR which dialing format to use. For example, should
the dial-in number be preceded by your area code and should a “1” precede the area
code? In some areas, even local numbers must be dialed using the area code. Press
SELECT to choose and return to the Phone Dialing Options screen.
5. To test your new dial-in number, select “Make Test Call.” The Test Phone Connection
screen appears; press SELECT to begin the test. When the call completes, you should
see the message “Test Succeeded!” Press SELECT to return to the Phone screen. (If
the call does not succeed, see troubleshooting on page 133.)
Set Dial Prefix. Use this option if you normally dial a prefix before making a phone call
(for example, if you need to dial “9” to get an outside line). Use the number keys on the
remote to enter the prefix. Use the PAUSE button to insert a comma after the prefix,
which creates a two second pause. If you make a mistake, use the BACK button.
