Receiver Description and Installation
Note: If you are installing your receiver into a system with DISH Pro
LNBFs (and/or switches), you can have as much as 200 feet of cable
between the LNBF and the receiver. However, you must use only RG-6
coaxial cables rated for 950 to 2150 MHz. Some cables may say “Swept
tested for 2150 MHz.” If you have any doubt about this, examine the
cable’s outer jacket, ask your DISH Network retailer, or look on the con-
tainer the cable came in. Do not use cable company TV cables or cables
from other satellite TV systems not rated for 950-2150 MHz. These other
cables may cause signal loss. Do not use existing cables such as RG-59.
Also, be sure that any outdoor connections are made using waterproof F
connectors.
Tighten all the coaxial cable connections only by hand. Using a
wrench may over-tighten the connections, causing damage. Such
damage is not covered by the Limited Warranty.
