Final Approach
Running Cable into the House and
Connecting to the Receiver
1. Drill a 1/2" hole in the location you want the coaxial cable to
enter your house.
CAUTION Make sure there are no wires or pipes behind the
wall in the area of the hole.
2. Locate the RG-6 coaxial cable that will extend from the
grounding block to the receiver. Connect one end of the
coaxial cable to the grounding block.
3. Make a 3" - 5" drip loop using cable clips at the grounding
block as shown.
4. Route the coaxial cable through your house to the back of
the receiver. You may route the coaxial cable through a floor
or wall or directly to the back of the receiver.
If you are routing through a wall, you may choose to install a
wall plate at the point the coaxial cable enters the inside of
the house and use a third RG-6 coaxial cable.
5. Connect the RG-6 coaxial cable to the SATELLITE IN jack at
the back of the receiver as shown.
DO NOT connect the coaxial cable to the IN FROM
ANTENNA jack!
6. Use silicone sealant to seal all outside connections and the
hole you drilled for the coaxial cable to enter your house.
7. Take a phone off the hook to prevent electric shock from
incoming calls.
8. Connect a phone cord from the back of the receiver to a
phone jack in your home (for instructions on connecting the
receiver to a phone jack, refer to Appendix B).
