Using Event Timers

You set up an event timer,
but the receiver does not
tune to the channel of the
program, or does not record
the program.
You set up an event timer
for a program that is
repeated (such as a regularly
scheduled program), but the
timer does not operate for a
showing of the program.
Possible Reason
• The receiver may have tried to call
the Customer Service Center to
send pay per view purchase
information. When the receiver
found that the telephone was busy,
it automatically disconnected.
• Maybe the receiver is connected to
a DSL (Digital Subscriber Line)
phone line.
• The receiver was calling the
Customer Service Center to send
pay per view information. When
the receiver found that the
telephone was busy, it
automatically disconnected.
• The receiver was calling the
Customer Service Center to send
pay per view information. When
the receiver found that the
telephone was busy, it
automatically disconnected. The
FAX or modem found that there
was no dial tone, and cancelled the
transmission.
• The receiver may have tried to call
the Customer Service Center to
send pay per view purchase
information during the FAX or
mode call. When the receiver
found that the telephone was busy,
it automatically disconnected. This
generated "clicks" that caused an
error in the FAX or modem
transmission.
Possible Reason
• You must enter the password
before you can create an event
timer for a locked program.
• You must order a pay per view
event before you can create an
event timer for it.
• You already have set up the
maximum number of event timers.
• You may have set up a Reminder
Event Timer but what you should
have set up is an Auto-Tune Event
Timer, or a VCR Event Timer.
• You may have set up a timer with
an incorrect frequency.
Troubleshooting Tables
What to Do
• You do not have to do anything. You can always use your
telephone line, because the receiver automatically hangs up if it
finds the line is busy.
• Install a DSL filter between the receiver and the telephone wall
jack.
• Hang up, and then pick up the telephone again to get a dial tone.
• Resend the FAX or modem transmission.
• Have the sender resend the FAX or modem transmission.
What to Do
• To be able to set up an event timer for the program, first enter the
password.
• To be able to set up an event timer for the event, first order it.
• To be able to set up a new event timer, delete one of the event
timers you set up earlier.
• Remember that a Reminder Event Timer just reminds you that the
program is about to start. An Auto-Tune Event Timer reminds you
and tunes the receiver to the channel of the program. A VCR Event
Timer reminds you, tunes the receiver, and starts the VCR.
• Remember that a Once event timer operates just one time. A
Mon.-Fri. event timer operates Monday through Friday on the
same channel at the same time. A Daily event timer does the same,
Monday through Sunday. A Weekly event timer operates once a
week on the same channel at the same time.
