professional installation, please call the Customer Service Center
at 1-800-333-DISH (3474).

get the latest software from the satellite signal. If you are
installing a new system, your receiver will automatically
get this software.

For information on any specific feature or function, read Chapter 3,
Using The System beginning on page 23.
