Receiver Description and Installation
Connecting the Receiver to the Phone Line
Keep the receiver connected to an active telephone line so you can order Pay-
Per-View programs and use all of the
dish home Interactive TV features, and
other services from DISH Network.
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 www.dishnetwork.com for compatible modem products.
Note: If you have a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), 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 a filter
from your DSL provider.

Run a telephone cable with a standard RJ-11 connector from the receiver’s back

rotary), and set a telephone number prefix, if you need a prefix to make an
outside call.
