Connecting Your Receiver to a Phone Line
Connecting Your Receiver to a Phone Line
You must keep your receiver connected to an active telephone line. Otherwise,
you may not be able to order pay per view programs or use all of the DISH
Interactive features. Run the RJ-11 telephone cable supplied with your receiver
from your receiver's back panel P HONE jack to an active telephone connection.
Note: You may be able to use a wireless telephone extender. However, this may
not support all the features of some receivers, such as Caller ID.
You must also set up your receiver for your telephone system (touchtone or
rotary/pulse), and set a telephone number prefix, if you need a prefix to make an
outside call.
1. Press the MENU button.
2. Select the Installation and Setup option.
3. Select the Telephone System
option to display the Telephone System
Setup menu.
4. Select the Touch Tone or the Rotary/Pulse option in the Phone Type
list.
5. If you do not need a dialing prefix to call outside your premises, select the
Save option, and stop here. If you do need to set a prefix to dial outside
your premises (for example, dial 9 to get an outside line), go to step 5.
