satellite TV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical. Safety Tips • Unplug the receiver from the AC power outlet before cleaning. • The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the receiver manufacturer will void the Limited Warranty. • Do not place the receiver in an enclosure such as a cabinet without proper ventilation. • Do not install the receiver in any area where the temperature can be less than 40°F or more than 113°F. • Do not stack the receiver on top of or below other electronic devices. • Do not place candles or other meltable objects on top of the receiver. • Operate the receiver using only the type of power source indicated on the marking label. Unplug the receiver power cord by gripping the power plug, not the cord. • Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords, as this can result in a risk of fire or electrical shock. • Never insert objects of any kind into the receiver through openings, as the objects may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts. This could cause fire or electrical shock. • Make sure that the outdoor parts of the antenna system are grounded in accordance with local, state, federal, and National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements. • Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care to avoid touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them can be fatal. • Do not attempt to service the receiver yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage, and will void the Limited Warranty. Refer all servicing to authorized service personnel. • Use an outlet that contains surge suppression or ground fault protection. For added protection during a lightning storm, or when the receiver is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, disconnect the lines between the receiver and the antenna, and disconnect the telephone line. This will provide some protection against damage caused by lightning or power line surges.

The receiver back panel has ports you can use to connect the receiver to other devices (you may not need to use some of these ports). The back panel also has the power cord and phone jack. Tighten the connections only by hand. If you use a wrench you might over-tighten the connections and cause damage that would not be covered by the Limited Warranty. Receiver Fan and Air Holes The receiver has a fan behind the air holes. The fan turns on and off as needed to cool the receiver. Don’t block the air holes! If you do, the receiver could over-heat! Satellite In Connect the cable from the satellite dish to the SATELLITE IN port. Channel 3/4 Switch If you use TV SET OUT to connect the receiver to a TV, set this switch to the channel you want to tune to on your TV. Choose a channel that isn’t used by a cable or local TV station. If you connect the receiver to a VCR that has a channel switch, set both switches to the same channel. Note: If you are connecting multiple receivers to multiple TVs, these receivers and TVs can all be set to the same channel (3 or 4) to avoid interference with local broadcasts.

TV Set Out This connection provides good picture quality and good mono sound quality (even if you have a TV or other devices that provide stereo sound). If you use TV SET OUT to watch satellite channels, you must keep the TV(s) tuned to the same channel (either channel 3 or 4) as you selected on the Channel 3/4 Switch of the satellite receiver. The TV SET OUT can be switched between satellite programming and the signal on the TV ANTENNA/CABLE IN connection using the TV/VIDEO button on the remote control. TV Antenna/Cable In Use the TV ANTENNA/CABLE IN to connect a broadcast TV antenna or cable TV box to the receiver. The TV ANTENNA/ CABLE IN connection is only available through the TV SET OUT as described above. Phono (RCA) Audio/Video Outputs These outputs provide high-quality picture and stereo sound. • If the TV has only one input for this type of audio, connect it to the receiver’s RIGHT AUDIO output. • If you use these outputs to connect the receiver to other devices, be sure to follow the instructions in the devices’ user manuals. Super Video (S-Video) Output The receiver provides S-Video, which is the highest quality video available. If you use this output for video, you must still connect the audio with the PHONO (RCA) AUDIO OUTPUTS or the DOLBY® DIGITAL output. Dolby® Digital Output The receiver provides Dolby® Digital encoded output and linear Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) for an audio amplifier/decoder that can process this kind of output. Phone Jack Connect a phone cable with a standard RJ-11 phone plug to the receiver here, and then connect the cable to an active phone jack. Note: You must keep the receiver connected to a phone line at all times to buy Pay Per View programs or use exciting interactive features. Expansion Port This port is reserved for future use.

if you use an IR extender, you must set up the receiver properly. See Set Up the Accessory Jack on page 81. Power Cord Even when the receiver front panel’s green POWER LED is off, the receiver keeps working and it needs power. So, don’t unplug the receiver’s power cord unless you need to move the receiver or if it will not be used for an extended period of time. Before moving the receiver, unplug the power cord and let the receiver sit for at least 30 seconds! Always handle the receiver gently to protect the delicate parts it has inside. UHF Remote Antenna Input The receiver uses the antenna to get UHF signals from the remote control. Connect the UHF antenna here, and set it so it doesn’t touch anything. Set the antenna straight up so you can use the remote control as far away as possible. Attach an Attenuator Stray UHF signals (from your neighbor’s remote control, for example) can block signals from the remote control to the receiver. To help prevent blocks, you can install a 10 dB attenuator (you can buy one from a consumer electronics parts store). Note: This will help keep out stray UHF signals, but also cut down how far away you can use the remote control. 1. Take the UHF antenna off of the receiver’s back panel UHF REMOTE ANTENNA input. 2. Put a 10 dB attenuator onto the UHF REMOTE ANTENNA input. 3. Put the UHF antenna onto the attenuator. Tip: If the receiver does unexpected things (for example, changes channels, starts DVR features randomly), you may have to install a 10 dB attenuator to block stray UHF signals. You can buy one of these attenuators at almost any electronic parts store.

Remote Control This section describes the remote control and its buttons used to control the receiver. To find out how to use the remote to control other devices, see Control Other Devices with the Remote, beginning on page 68. The remote control we pack with the receiver may look a bit different than the one shown on page 22. If you lose or damage the remote control, you can use the receiver’s front panel buttons to operate many of the receiver's features. Call the Customer Service Center at 1-800-333-DISH (3474) to order a new remote. The remote control uses both Ultra High Frequency (UHF) radio signals and infrared (IR) light signals to control the receiver but uses only IR signals to control other devices. • IR signals travel only short distances (40 feet or less), and can’t go through walls or other solid objects. You must point the remote control directly at the device you want to control, with no objects to block the signal path. • UHF signals travel long distances (100 feet or more) and can go through walls and other solid objects. Because UHF signals travel so far, the receiver may respond to signals from other nearby remote controls (for example, your neighbor’s remote control). To handle this problem, please see Change the Address on page 26. If this doesn’t work, please see Attach an Attenuator on page 19. Note: To use UHF capabilities, you need to connect your UHF antenna as described on page 19. Tip: If the receiver does unexpected things (for example, changes channels, starts DVR features randomly), you may have to change the remote control address. See Change the Address on page 26.

The remote control comes with AAA batteries. When you replace old batteries, you should replace all of the batteries. Use batteries of the same kind, for example alkaline or carbon zinc, and don’t mix batteries of different kinds. Alkaline batteries last longer. Changing the Batteries 1. Press down on the battery cover’s top latch and lift the cover off. 2. Take out all of the old batteries. 3. Put the new batteries in. Make sure you match the plus (“+”) ends with the plus markings on the battery case. 4. Fit the battery cover’s bottom tab back into the slot at the bottom of the battery case, and snap the cover back into place. Low Battery Warning When you see a low battery warning message on the bottom line of the Program Banner, the batteries in your remote control are weak and need to be replaced.

In some cases, copyright law may apply to private, in-home recording. Event timers let you set up the receiver to tune in future programs and/or record them, with the DishDVR features or a VCR. • An “event” is a program, sports event, pay per view movie, or anything else on satellite TV. • You can quickly set a one-time event timer with Quick Record. See page 50. • You can set an automatic event timer for a program listed with start and stop times in the Program Guide. This can be a program that comes on each day or each week. See page 51. • A manual event timer lets you set custom start and stop times for a timer. You can use a manual timer to record part of a program, several programs together, or parts of several programs. See page 52.

Page 49 • If you use an event timer, you can record only the channel you’ve got tuned. This means you can’t record one program and watch or record another “live” program at the same time. • If you open a menu while you record to a VCR, the tape may record the menu. If you change the volume or press the MUTE button, the tape may record the change depending on how your VCR is connected in your system. Note: If you want to have Event Timer record to a VCR, you must set up the receiver to control the VCR. See Control a VCR on page 56. Note: Even if the systems shows “PVR” instead of “DVR,” it works the same way. Event Timer Types DVR Reminds you a program is about to start; tunes the receiver to the program when it begins; records the program with the DishDVR features. Auto-Tune Reminds you a program is about to start; tunes the receiver to the program when it begins. Reminder Reminds you a program is about to start. VCR Reminds you a program is about to start; tunes the receiver to the program when it begins; starts a VCR to record the program. Event Timer Frequencies Once Works for a one-time program. If the program time changes, this timer works at the new time. The receiver deletes this timer right after the timer works. Note: A Once timer keys on a program, not a time. So even if the program comes on late, the timer works for it. Weekly Works once a week on the same channel at the same time on the same day. You can set this timer for a program that comes on once a week. Daily Works on Monday through Sunday on the same channel at the same time each day. You can set this timer for a program that comes on every day. Mo.-Fr. Works on Monday through Friday on the same channel at the same time each day. You can set this timer for a program that comes on every weekday. Tip: Want to make sure you never miss an episode of your favorite show? Just set a Weekly Event Timer once, and the receiver will automatically record it every week!

When an Event Timer Works Only during the five minutes right before an event timer works, you’ll see a small picture of a clock blinking on the TV screen. This clock goes away when the program begins. While you see the clock, you can do either one of the following: • Press the remote control CANCEL button to clear the clock from the TV screen. This doesn’t change the timer; it will still work. • Press the remote control INFO button to see more information on the event timer. If you do this, you’ll have these two choices: • Select the OK option to continue with the event timer, or • Select the Stop Timer option to stop the event timer. Use Quick Record You can use Quick Record to very quickly set a one-time, one-program DVR Event Timer or VCR Event Timer. 1. Highlight but don’t select a future program in the Browse Banner, in the Program Guide or in a Themes list. Note: If you select a future program, you open a menu where you can set an automatic event timer. This is almost as fast as Quick Record. 2. Press the RECORD button. 3. This opens a menu where you can set an event timer. 4. If you want to start the timer one minute early, select the Start 1 min. early option. Note: This lets you make sure the timer records a program’s start. Note: You can start any timer (except one for a pay per view program) one minute early. But, if you set a timer that works right after another timer and the second one starts early, the first one will end early. 5. Select the DVR or VCR option. Tip: You can also press the SELECT button to see more information about the event timer. Tip: Quick Record is the fastest and easiest way to record one program once.

Select any other timer(s) you want to delete. 5. Select the Delete option to delete the timer(s) you selected. Pay Per View Programs and Locked Programs • You must buy a pay per view program before you can set an automatic event timer for it. You can’t set a manual event timer for a pay per view program. You can’t edit an event timer for a pay per view program. • When you’ve locked the receiver, you must enter the password before you can set an automatic event timer for a locked program. You can set a manual event timer for a locked program and not enter the password. If you do set a timer like this, when the timer works the receiver may display only an error message or a password entry menu. If you’ve set a DVR Event Timer or a VCR Event Timer, the recording will show only the error message or password menu. • If you use a DVR Event Timer to record a locked program, you must enter the password to play back the program. If you record a block of two or more programs and just one of them is locked, you must enter the password to play back any of them. For example, if you set an event timer to record a block of three programs and one of them is an adult movie, you must enter the password to watch any of the three programs. Power Off and Event Timers • If the receiver is off when a DVR Event Timer, Auto-Tune Event Timer, or VCR Event Timer works, the receiver will turn on. When the program ends, the receiver will turn off unless you press any remote control or front panel buttons while the timer is in operation. • If the receiver is off when a Reminder Event Timer starts, the receiver will turn on and stay on. How Many Event Timers You Can Set You can set a limited number of event timers. If you try to set more, the receiver displays a menu where you can delete an existing timer. If you don’t delete an existing timer, you won’t be able to set any new ones. Control a VCR Note: Remember, you can use the DishDVR features to record a program without a VCR! • To use VCR Event Timers, you must connect the receiver’s back panel audio/video outputs to the audio/video inputs on the VCR. See page 29 for the recommended connection to a VCR. Tip: You must buy a Pay Per View event before you can set an automatic event timer for it. And you cannot set a manual event timer for any Pay Per View event.

Page 57 • To use VCR Event Timers, you must set up the receiver to control the VCR (see below). If the receiver can’t control the VCR, use an Auto- Tune Event Timer to tune the receiver to the channel you want to record. Use the timers built into the VCR to start and stop the VCR at the right times. • The receiver’s front panel IR BLASTER sends an IR signal to control the VCR. This signal can bounce off walls or other objects on its way to the VCR. This works in most home setups. But, shelves or smoked glass doors between the receiver and the VCR can block the signal. If the signal has to cross a very large room, or bounce off curtains, it may not be strong enough to control the VCR. Make sure nothing blocks the signal, and the signal can bounce off nearby, light-colored, smooth surfaces. • If you can’t set up the IR BLASTER to control the VCR, maybe you can use an IR extender you connect to the receiver ACCESSORY JACK. An IR extender is a cable that carries the infrared signal from the receiver to the IR sensor on the VCR. You can buy extenders from the Customer Service Center. You must set up the receiver to send the right signals out via the ACCESSORY JACK. Please see Set Up the Accessory Jack on page 81. Here’s what to do: The receiver starts the VCR to record, but doesn’t turn the VCR on. So, you must leave the VCR turned on! 1. Get the VCR device code from the table in Device Codes starting on page 121. 2. Press the MENU button. 3. Select the System Setup option. 4. Select the Installation option. 5. Select the VCR Setup option. 6. Use the number buttons to enter the VCR device code. 7. Make sure you turn on the VCR. If you are using the TV Set Out on the receiver to provide audio/video to the VCR, set its channel switch to 3 or 4 to match the receiver back panel channel 3/4 switch and make sure the VCR is set to record on this channel. Put in a rewound videotape that you can record on.

8. To test the device code, highlight the Test option. The receiver displays a message that warns you to make sure you turn the VCR on. 9. Press the SELECT button to start the test. The VCR records for a few seconds, stops, and then rewinds. 10. The receiver displays a message that says the VCR test is done. Do what the message says. If the VCR did not do the test, enter another device code from the table, and then do step 8, step 9, and this step again. 11. Once you find the right VCR code, select the Save option to save the VCR code you entered. 12. Set the VCR Event Timer(s) you want. Remember, you must leave the VCR turned on with a blank tape inserted ready to record. Use Caller ID Caller ID displays on your TV the names of people as they call you if you subscribe to Caller ID from your local phone company. Enable Caller ID 1. Make sure you have an active phone line connected to the DishDVR receiver. 2. Make sure your system is properly grounded. Sometimes an improperly grounded system will cause problems with the Caller ID feature. 3. Press MENU on the remote and select System Setup, Installation, and then Caller ID, or press MENU-6-1-8 on the remote. 4. When the Caller ID menu opens, move the highlight to Enable and press SELECT to save your choice. Press VIEW to go back to watching a program.

More About the DVR Features Auto Recording • Whenever you turn the receiver on, it’s auto recording. • With auto record, you can record up to about an hour of a program. This total recording time applies to auto recording only. • The receiver needs more room to record programs with more action. So, the total recording time isn’t exact. • After about an hour, the receiver starts to record over its oldest audio and video to have room for new audio and video. • If one program ends and the next one starts on the same channel, the receiver continues to record the next program. • If you change the channel, you erase the recorded audio and video, and start recording the new channel. On-Demand Recording • On-demand recording works only when you set it up. • The receiver must have enough room to record: • When you make a one-time DishDVR recording, you can set the receiver to ask you before it records over what you record. This is how you “protect” a recorded event. • If the receiver needs room to record a new event, it’ll record over the oldest “unprotected” recorded event(s) to make room. • If the receiver is out of room, and you don’t let it record over any old recorded events, it won’t be able to record a new event. • To free up space on the receiver, you can erase events by opening the Events Information menu and selecting the Erase option. Auto and On-Demand Record at the Same Time If you record a live program using the on-demand option, you can use auto recording to pause, go back to play, reverse, skip back through, fast forward, or skip ahead through the same program at the same time.

Page 67 Copy Recordings to Videotape You may want to keep a videotape copy of a recording you made on the DishDVR. Or, if the receiver is out of room, maybe you’ll want to move recordings to a videotape to store them. Many satellite TV programs and films are copyrighted. In some cases, copyright law may apply to private, in-home recording. You will not be able to play back events with full digital audio and video quality from a videotape. Here’s what to do: 1. Connect the receiver’s back panel audio/video outputs to the VCR’s audio/video inputs. 2. Put a rewound tape into the VCR. 3. Turn the VCR on. 4. Press the remote control DVR button. This opens the DishDVR Recorded Events menu. 5. Select an event on the DishDVR Recorded Events menu. This opens an information menu for that event. 6. Start the VCR to record onto the tape. 7. On the event’s information menu, select the Start option. The receiver begins to play back the event. 8. When the play back is done, either: Select another event to copy, or: If you don’t have another copy to make, stop the VCR. Tip: If you want to “archive” an event to save it for a long time, you can move it from the receiver to a VCR.

Control Other Devices with the Remote This section describes how to use the remote to control a TV, a VCR, or other devices. For information on how to use the remote to control the receiver, see Remote Control on page 20. You can set up the remote to control the satellite TV receiver and up three other devices. These devices can be a TV, a VCR or DVD player, and a third device. Remote Control Modes You can set the remote to four different modes to control the receiver or other devices. You must set up the remote to control a device like a TV or a VCR. See Set Up the Remote to Control Other Devices, below. Use the remote control’s mode buttons, SAT (satellite receiver), TV, VCR (for a VCR or a DVD player), and AUX (“auxiliary,” for a cable TV box, a tuner, or an audio amplifier) to set the remote to the right mode for the device. To change the mode, press the button for the device you want the remote to control. The mode button lights for two seconds to show you’ve set the remote to that mode. Limited Mode You can program your remote control in limited mode to keep from accidentally changing the channel on your TV or VCR. When you use the remote to control your TV in limited mode, you will only be able to use the POWER, MUTE, and VOLUME buttons. Also, when you use the remote to control your VCR in limited mode, you will only be able to use the POWER and VCR tape control buttons. The section Set Up the Remote Control has a step that tells the remote control to go into limited mode. Note: Limited mode is not used with cable boxes or amplifiers. Set Up the Remote to Control Other Devices Over the next few pages we tell you how to use the remote to control a TV, a VCR, a cable TV box, a tuner, or an amplifier. When you get the remote it’s already set up to control the receiver. But, you must set up the remote to control the TV before you can control the TV’s POWER, MUTE, and VOLUME buttons. To use the remote to control other devices, you must first program it to control these other devices. You can do this by either following the instruction in Set Up the Remote Control below, or Scan for Device Codes procedure described on page 70.

Page 69 Set Up the Remote Control You can set up the remote to control other devices using the device codes listed on page 120. 1. Turn the device on. Use the device’s front panel buttons or its remote control. 2. Find the brand name of the device in the tables starting on page 120. If the brand isn’t listed, see Scan for Device Codes on page 70. 3. Press and hold the mode button until all the other mode buttons light up, and then let go of the button. The mode button flashes. For example, hold the TV mode button for a TV until all of the other mode buttons light. When you let go, the TV mode light will flash. 4. For AUX mode only. Press 0 for a second TV, or 1 for a second VCR, or 2 for a tuner, amplifier, or cable box. This step is for programming which kind of device that should be programmed in AUX mode. If you’re not programming in AUX mode, skip to step 5. 5. Enter one of the three-digit device codes from the table using the number buttons. The three-digit device code should be for the brand name of your device that you found in step 2. 6. If you want to program limited mode, press 1. If not, skip to step 7. See Limited Mode for more information. 7. Press the POUND (#) button. If you entered the code correctly, the mode button flashes three times. 8. Press the blank POWER button to turn off the device. If the device does not turn off, go to step 10. If the code works, the device should turn off. 9. Turn the device back on and try some other buttons to make sure they work. If the code works for other buttons, stop here. Sometimes the blank POWER button works when other buttons don’t. 10. If the code doesn’t work, redo steps 3 through 9 with another device code from the tables. Try every code listed for you brand until one works for your device. 11. If you can’t find a code that works try, Scan for Device Codes below.

Scan for Device Codes If the code for your device is not listed in the tables starting on page 120, use this procedure to scan the remote control’s memory for the device code. 1. Turn the device on. Use the device’s front panel buttons or its remote control. 2. Press and hold the mode button until all the other mode buttons light up, and then let go of the button. The mode button flashes. For example, hold the TV mode button for a TV until all of the other mode buttons light. When you let go, the TV mode light will flash. 3. For AUX mode only. Press 0 for a second TV, or 1 for a second VCR, or 2 for a tuner, amplifier, or cable box. Then press the STAR (*) button. This step is for programming which kind of device that should be programmed in AUX mode. If you’re not programming in AUX mode, skip to step 4. 4. Press the blank POWER button. This puts your remote in the scan mode. 5. Press the UP or DOWN ARROW button repeatedly until the device turns off. As you press the UP or DOWN ARROW button, the remote is trying each code in the memory to see if it can turn off your device. When the device turns off, you have found a code that might work. Note: The mode button for the device will flash rapidly eight times when you’ve scanned all the codes for that device. 6. Press the Pound (#) button. This stores the code you found. 7. Turn the device back on and try some other buttons to make sure they work. Press the blank POWER button to turn the device back on. Try some other buttons to make sure they work. Sometimes, the blank POWER button works when other buttons don’t. 8. Repeat this procedure until you’ve tried all the codes. You may need to repeat the scan to find the best code for your device. Tip: The receiver deletes one- time event timers right after they work. You must delete all other types of timers yourself.

These instructions guide you through the installation of a satellite system which includes your DishPro receiver (included with this manual), and a DishPro antenna system that can be identified by the DishPro logo shown below. Note: If you have a Dish antenna system already installed, and the dish has been pointed for the strongest possible signal strength, you can skip this chapter and go directly to Appendix A to install the satellite receiver in an existing system. Installing a DISH 500 Antenna The first step in installing your dish antenna is to assemble the satellite dish, mount it, and point it in the general direction of a satellite. To do this, follow these instructions: Finding the Satellites You need to find the satellites in the sky. To do this, you need to know the azimuth angle (the south, southeast, or southwest direction to the satellites) and the elevation angle (the angle up to the satellites) from your location, and the skew angle. 1. Connect the TV SET OUT on the receiver’s back panel to the television’s RF TUNER INPUT using a coaxial cable. Make sure that the TV is tuned to the same channel as the CHANNEL 3/4 SWITCH on the receiver’s back panel (for example, if this switch is on “3,” the TV must be tune to Channel 3).

properly. If needed, make sure that the remote is in SAT mode to control the satellite receiver. 3. Turn ON the television and receiver. 4. Display the Point Dish and Signal Strength menu by pressing MENU and and then 6-1-1 (unless the receiver already displays this menu). 5. If you Point Dish/Signal screen looks like the one on the left, continue to step 6. If your Point Dish/Signal screen looks like the one on the right, select Peak Angles. 6. Enter your ZIP code in the ZIP Code field. 7. Select the Dish 500 option. 8. The menu displays the azimuth, elevation, and skew angles. Write down these numbers in the blanks provided in the margin. 9. Select Cancel to exit out of this menu and return to the Point Dish/Signal menu. 10. Go to Mounting the Dish on page 85. Azimuth: Elevation: Skew:

Mounting the Dish 1. Using these azimuth and elevation angles, find a location for the satellite dish which can be pointed towards the satellites located at these angles. With a compass, find the required azimuth angle. Then, use the elevation angle to find out how high the satellites are in the sky from your location. Make sure nothing blocks the line of sight between the dish and the satellites. 2. Mount the mast to a solid surface so that the dish antenna cannot move or be bumped out of adjustment. Keep in mind that physical and environmental conditions can block your satellite dish’s ability to receive a clear satellite signal. The conditions to be aware of are: Eaves and overhangs on your building or house, wind, plant growth, and deterioration of the mounting surface. Never mount to a tree. 3. Align the top part of the mast so that it is absolutely vertical, as shown below. If the top part of the mast is off vertical by only a few degrees, it will be difficult or maybe even impossible for you to find the satellites. Take at least two readings with a bubble level, on the upper mast, that are 90 degrees apart from one another. NO YES Top Part of Mast Bubble Level Mast

bracket or LNBF at this time. 5. Loosen both skew bolts and set the skew by rotating the dish mounting bracket to align the red mark with the required angle on the skew scale which you wrote down on 84. Tighten the skew bolts securely to keep the dish from rotating. Once the skew is set, do not try to fine-tune this angle when aiming the dish. 6. Set the elevation by tilting the dish mounting bracket to align the red edge with the required angle from page 84 on the elevation scale. Tighten the elevation bolts, but do not tighten the pivot bolt at this time.

Note: You can have as much as 200 feet of cable between the DishPro LNBF and the DishPro receiver. However, you must use only RG-6 coaxial cables rated for 950 to 2150 MHz. Some cables may say "Swept tested for 2150 MHz." If you have any doubt about this, ask your DISH retailer, or look on the container the cable came in. Do not use cable company TV cables or cables from other satellite TV systems not rated for 950-2150 MHz. These other cables may cause signal loss. Do not use existing cables such as RG-59. Also, be sure that any outdoor connections are made using waterproof F-connectors. Tighten all of the coaxial cable connection only by hand. If you use a wrench, you may over-tighten the connections and damage your equipment. Such damage is not covered by the Limited Warranty. 7. Thread the RG-6 coaxial cable through the mast support arm and the Y-bracket. This cable should be long enough to run from your receiver to your LNBF. Note: See Running Coaxial Cables on page 101 for cable installation guidance. 8. Attach the Y-bracket, using the Y-bracket screw. 9. Connect the RG-6 cable from the DISHPro SAT IN connection on the back of the receiver directly to port 1 of the DISHPro Twin LNBF, as shown

receiver. 10. Attach the LNBF to the Y-bracket using the two LNBF screws. 11. Slide the dish assembly down onto the mast. Make sure the pivot bolt rests on the top of the mast. Turn the dish assembly so that it points in the general direction of the satellites, using the azimuth angle from 84. 12. You should see the Point Dish/Signal menu. If not, open the Main Menu, select System Setup, then Installation, then Point Dish/Signal (press MENU and then press 6-1-1 on the remote). 13. Select Check Switch. The Check Switch screen will open. 14. Select Check or Test. The receiver shows you a message that it is checking the switches. Go to step 15. 15. When the check switch procedure finishes, you will see an installation summary screen similar to the one below. In the Satellite line, you will see “Conn.” In the Device line, you will “Twin” twice. This indicates that your receiver has confirmed the connection with your DishPro Twin LNBF is working. The Transponder line may show two “Xs.” This is OK and does not indicate a problem with the receiver. Connect to Port 1. It’s on the left when the LNBF is pointed towards you P o r t 1 P o r t 2

16. Select Cancel or OK to return to the Point Dish/Signal screen. Make sure the check mark is next to 119 West. If not, move the highlight to 119 West and press SELECT. Notice the signal strength bar. This is used to help you aim the dish by showing the strength of the signal you are receiving. Look at the signal strength bar while you aim the dish. Don’t stand in front of the dish while you aim it, because your body will block the satellite signal. After you adjust the aim, let go of the dish so that you can get a good signal reading after the dish settles back in place by itself. Do not change the skew setting. 17. Turn the dish back and forth very slowly, until the signal strength bar turns green. This shows you’ve found the signal. Note: If you cannot find the signal, turn the dish back to the first azimuth angle. Then, loosen both elevation bolts just enough so you can tilt the dish. Tilt the dish elevation up by two degrees, and then tighten both bolts. Now, turn the dish back and forth again. If you still can’t find the signal, tilt the dish up again very slightly and turn the dish back and forth until you find the signal. 18. Once the signal strength bar is green, turn the dish back and forth just a little, to where the signal strength bar shows the strongest signal. When you find the strongest signal, tighten both mast clamp bolts. Then loosen both elevation bolts, just enough so you can tilt the dish. Tilt the dish up and down just a little, to where the signal strength bar shows the strongest signal. Do not adjust the skew. When you find the strongest signal, tighten all bolts in the dish assembly so the dish cannot be moved. Tip: Have one person aim the dish while another watches the signal strength or listens to the signal tone.

Check Switch option. When the Check Switch menu opens, select Check or Test. The receiver shows you a message that it is checking the switches. When the procedure is finished, you will see an Installation Summary screen. This screen may look different than the one shown below. However, you must see that you have signals from both the 110 West and 119 West Satellites, you see “All” twice in the Transponder line, and the message “Satellite reception verified. Press CANCEL or OK to exit this menu.” 20. If you do not see “110” under Dish Input 2: • Make sure the skew angle you wrote down on page 84 is exactly the same as the skew angle you set in step 5 on page 86. If it is not, reset the skew angle as described on page 86. After you reset the skew angle, go back page 89 and start over from step 16. • If “119” is shown under Dish Input 2, move the dish approximately 9° to the east and restart the procedure at step 12. 21. Look at the Point Dish/Signal menu. If you have good signal strength with the check mark in 119 West, move the check mark to 110 West. If you have good signal strength on 110 West, go to step 22. If you do not have good signal strength with the check mark in 110 West, go back to Step 17, and fine-tune the dish but with the check mark in 110 West instead of 119 West. While the 110 West and 119 West signals will not be equal, you should be able to fine-tune the dish until you have the strongest possible signal from both satellites. 22. Select Cancel to exit the Point Dish/Signal menu. An Attention screen will open asking the mounting and positioning of your dish is complete with a “Locked” indication in the Point Dish/Signals screen. If the answer is yes, select Yes. If the answer is No, you will need to repoint your dish following the preceding steps until the mounting and positioning is complete and you do have the “Locked” indication.

23. After you select Yes, the receiver will begin taking a software upgrade. You will see a Warning that “Vital program information will now be downloaded into your receiver.” You will also see a status bar showing the progress of this upgrade. 24. Once the software upgrade is complete, you will see a message that your receiver’s memory is being upgraded. Do not disturb the receiver while the receiver’s memory is being upgraded. Note: If you are installing other DishPro receivers, be sure to run Check Switch on all of them, and allow them to take the necessary software upgrade. If you will be installing a multi-dish system, follow the instructions that begin below. Installing a Multiple Dish DishPro System Note: You cannot use DishPro LNBFs and switches (those marked with the DishPro logo) with Legacy (non-DishPro) switches and LNBFs (those without the DishPro logo). You must install your DISH antenna system with either all DishPro LNBFs and switches or all Legacy LNBFs and switches. If you mix the two, the system will not work. Note: You can have as much as 200 feet of cable between the DishPro LNBF and the DishPro receiver. However, you must use only RG-6 coaxial cables rated for 950 to 2150 MHz. Some cables may say "Swept tested for 2150 MHz." If you have any doubt about this, ask your DISH retailer, or look on the container the cable came in. Do not use cable company TV cables or cables from other satellite TV systems not rated for 950-2150 MHz. These other cables may cause signal loss. Do not use existing cables such as RG-59. Also, be sure that any outdoor connections are made using waterproof F-connectors. Once you have installed the DISH 500 with its DishPro Twin LNBF using the preceding instructions, you can install a DISH 300 with a DishPro LNBF as follows: 1. Turn on the television and the receiver if they are not already on. You should see the Point Dish/Signal screen. If not, open the Main Menu and press 6-1-1 on the remote.

If your Point Dish/Signal screen looks like the one on the right, select Peak Angles and the Dish 300 option. 4. Select Peak Angles. 5. Use the number buttons on the remote to enter your ZIP code to get the necessary azimuth and elevation. Write these numbers down in the spaces provided in the margin. 6. Mount the dish antenna following the mounting instructions that came with it. 7. Connect an RG-6 cable from the DishPro SAT IN connection on the receiver directly to the DishPro LNBF on the Dish 300. Make sure there are no multi-dish switches between the LNBF and the DishPro receiver. 8. Select Check Switch from the Point Dish/Signal menu. When the Check Switch screen opens, select Check. 9. When Check Switch is complete, you will see an Installation Summary screen similar to the one shown next. It will show a connection (“Conn” next to satellite) and Single device under 1 (Dish Input). It may also show an X on the Transponder line. This is okay and does not mean there is a problem with the system. Azimuth: Elevation:

10. Press CANCEL to exit back to the Point Dish/Signal menu. 11. Point the dish for the strongest possible signal, following the instructions that came with it and the DishPro wiring diagrams that start on page 94. 12.
