3. Press SELECT again to test the first selection on the pop-up menu.
Your results will differ slightly from those shown, depending on your
geographic location and specific installation. However, if your results are very
different from these examples (i.e, rows of zeros or single-digit numbers):
• Highlight the Antenna tab on the ANTENNA SETUP menu, then carefully
verify your settings for accuracy.
• Re-enter your ZIP code if necessary to verify you have used the correct
antenna pointing parameters for your location.
• Check your cable connections.
• Ensure the DIRECTV Receiver is connected to a modular telephone jack.
Once you have successfully obtained a signal and your test results resemble
those shown in the figures, call DIRECTV (or your subscription service
provider) to activate service if you have not done so already.
