CONNECTING THE PHONE LINE

You must keep the receiver connected to an active telephone line (or broadband network

connection) to order Pay-Per-View programs, use all of the DishHOME Interactive

features, or use other services from DISH Network with your remote control.

Note: You may be able to use a wireless modem jack. However, this may not support all

the features of this receiver, such as Caller ID. See www.dishnetwork.com

for compatible

modem products.

Note: If you have a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), you may have to install a DSL filter

between the receiver’s back panel P

HONE JACK and the telephone wall jack to

successfully connect with DISH Network. You can obtain a filter from your DSL provider.

Phone Line Connection
