On the Phone Connection screen you can see details, including the time of the last

successful call and last call attempt, and the status of the last call. You also have the

following options:

Make Test Call. When you select this, a test call to the TiVo service will start

automatically. You may wish to use this option for troubleshooting or other unusual

circumstances. Test calls usually only take a couple of minutes. When the call has

finished, press SELECT to continue.

Make Daily Call Now. Under normal use, you do not need to make the daily call manually.

However, for troubleshooting or other unusual circumstances, you may wish to use this

option. After you start the call, the status indicator reads “Starting Up” and will change as

it goes through several stages. You can watch live TV, set up recordings, and search for

programs while the call is in progress.

Change Dialing Options. You can change the following settings (if you make a mistake

while entering a change, use the BACK button to backspace):

Set Dial-In Number. Use this to change the number the recorder uses to make test calls

and daily calls. To change it:

1. Select “Set Dial-In Number.” The Area Code screen appears.

2. Use the number keypad on the remote to set the area code, then press SELECT. If

you change the area code, or if the recorder has not made a daily call in the last

twenty-four hours, the Update Numbers screen appears and the recorder calls the

TiVo service to retrieve a list of local dial-in numbers. After the phone call, press

SELECT. The Dial-In Number screen appears.

3. Use the UP/DOWN arrow to choose one of the listed phone numbers. The recorder

will use this number for daily calls to the TiVo service. Then press SELECT.
