CONNECTING THE PHONE LINE
You must keep the receiver attached to an active phone line (or broadband Internet
connection) to order Pay-Per-View programs or events, access all of the DishHOME
Interactive features, or use other DISH services with your remote control.
Note: You may be able to use a wireless modem jack. However, this may not support all
the features of your receiver, such as Caller ID. Visit www.mydish.com
online for more
information about compatible wireless modem products.
Note: If you have a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), then you may have to install a DSL filter
between the Hopper back panel P
HONE JACK and the telephone wall jack to successfully
connect with DISH. You can obtain a filter from your DSL provider.
Phone Line Connection
Run a telephone cable with a standard RJ-11 connector from the Hopper back panel
P
HONE JACK to an active telephone wall-jack connection, as shown below.
Note: Do not try to connect a telephone cord to an Ethernet connection. (Images may
vary.)
