Appendix B: Connecting to a Phone Jack
Why Do You Need a Phone Jack?
The DSS
®
receiver calls a 1-800, toll-free telephone number once
a month to update your access card. In addition, to easily order
pay-per-view events, you should have the DSS
®
receiver
connected to a phone line. These calls only take a few seconds,
and the system will usually hang up if you pick up the phone
while the receiver is calling out.
There are two options available for connecting your DSS
®
receiver to a phone line. You may:
• use a phone jack near your DSS
®
receiver
• use a DSS
®
Wireless Phone Jack System
Connecting Directly to a Phone Jack
1. Locate a phone jack near the DSS
®
receiver.
2. If a phone is already connected to the existing jack, plug in a
t-connector.
3. Plug one end of the line cord that will run to the DSS
®
receiver into the existing jack or t-connector. You will hear a
distinct “click” when the lever on the modular plug locks into
the jack.
4. Plug the other end of the line cord into the connection on
the back of the DSS
®
receiver labelled “Phone Jack”.
5. Plug any phone lines that were connected to the existing jack
into one side of the t-connector.
6. Hang up any phones that you left off-hook.

To connect the DSS
®
receiver to the
phone jack, you will need a
telephone line cord that has modular
plugs at both ends. The line cord
should be long enough to reach from
the phone jack to the DSS
®
receiver.
