Using a DSS
®
Wireless Phone Jack System
Since a phone jack may not be located near your DSS
®
receiver,
the DSS
®
Wireless Phone Jack system allows you to easily put a
phone jack right where you want it. The system consists of a
base unit hooked to an existing phone jack and an extension unit
that is placed near the DSS
®
receiver
For more detailed information on installing the DSS
®
Wireless
Phone Jack System, refer to the instructions that come with the
system.
Run the System Test to Check the Phone Connection
The system test will check to ensure the phone line connection to
the DSS
®
receiver is functioning correctly. The system test also
performs a signal test, a tuning test, and an access card test.
During the phone test, the receiver checks for a dial tone and
performs an internal test. If the phone test does not detect any
problems, the message “OK” will be displayed on the screen.
However, if the phone test detects a problem, the message
“Check phone connections” will be displayed.
To run the system test, press MENU•SELECT on the remote to
bring up the Main menu; select Options. Select System Test.
If the “OK” message is displayed, the wireless phone jack system
is working correctly.
If the phone test finds a problem, do the following:
• Make sure there are no phones off the hook.
• Make sure the phone line modular plugs are properly
connected to the jacks. Remember, you will hear a distinct
“click” when the lever on the modular plug locks into the
jack.
• Make sure the phone jack is working correctly by connecting
a working telephone to the phone jack.
• If you installed a new phone jack, make sure the wires at the
telephone jack are connected to the correct color-coded
screws.
