Otherwise, you may not be able to order pay per view programs or use all of
the Dish Interactive features. Run a telephone cable with a standard RJ-11
connector from the receiver's back panel PHONE 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.
Note : If you have a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), you may have to install
a DSL filter between the receiver's back panel PHONE JACK and the
telephone wall jack to successfully connect with the DISH Network. You
can obtain a filter from your DSL provider.
You must also set up the 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.
