You can also achieve this from the front panel by pressing the

and

keys simultaneously.

POWER-ON Screen

As power is applied to the HD receiver for the first time
after being plugged in or after a power failure, the
POWER-ON screen, shown on the right, is displayed.
The screen will not appear each time you press the
Power button.

A panel will display an Exit and an Installation button.
Below that, a progress meter will display illuminated
boxes, which will progressively light up from left to
right as the system powers up.

Exit

Highlighting the Exit button on the screen and pressing
the

key on the remote control causes an exit from the POWER-ON screen and interrupts

the Guide data acquisition.

Installation

If the power is on, but the satellite dish antenna or local area antenna or cable system inputs are
not yet installed, highlighting the Installation button and pressing the

key on the remote

control will display the INSTALLATION screen. Read Chapter 4 for installation and testing
instructions.

If the satellite is properly pointed, the program guide is loaded when power is applied. You can
exit out of this start up process, but you would not load the current guide data. Allow time for this
program data to load.

Note: If your satellite dish is properly pointed and receiving a signal, this boot-
up process is necessary to completely load the Advanced Program Guide™
information. If you exit this screen before it is complete, or have yet to install
the satellite dish, this process will take place later. Loading Advanced Program
Guide™ data can take several minutes.

If you are using the HD receiver with only the terrestrial antenna or cable
signal, you can immediately exit this screen.
