Overview

Before you use your satellite receiver
have it installed by a professional technician. For a professional installation,
please call the Customer Service Center at 1-800-333-DISH (3474). If you
install the system yourself, use the instructions in Chapter 2.
A vital part of the installation is to set up the receiver to get
the latest software via the satellite signal. If you are installing
a new system and follow the instructions in Chapter 4, your
receiver will automatically get this software.
For information on the receiver and its installation, read Chapter 2,
Receiver Description and Installation beginning on page 23.
For information on any specific feature or function, read Chapter 3, Using
The System beginning on page 47.
If you have a problem operating the system or receive an error message, use
the Troubleshooting Tables beginning on page 119.
