This quick start is designed to get your XDS PRO4 receiver up and running as quickly as
possible. Please refer to the full Quick Start Guide packaged with your receiver.

General Guidelines

3.1
Review this guide in its entirety before installing your XDS receiver. Also, follow these
instructions before calling support.
• Make all satellite RF, data (LAN/WAN) and audio connections prior to applying AC
power to the XDS receiver.
• It is strongly recommended to use a Phase Locked Loop (PLL) LNB for your new
XDS receiver. The Local Oscillator (LO) stability of your LNB should not be above
(worse than) 25kHz.
• If this XDS receiver is designated to supply DC power to the LNB at your dish, be
sure to turn on the LNB voltage on the front panel menu AFTER the LNB is
connected (See Satellite RF Connection section 1.2 on page 3).
• Your new XDS receiver is delivered with a parts kit that includes two 6-foot RG-6
cables and an L-band splitter that allows DC power to pass through one port.
• X-Digital Systems urges stations to use an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) for
the XDS receiver for equipment protection from power spikes or brownouts. Also
consider lightning protection if you are located in an area susceptible to frequent
lightning storms. Surge suppressors do not provide sufficient protection.
