Water and Moisture – WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this product to rain or moisture.

Lightning – For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet, disconnect the antenna and cable system, and disconnect it from the telephone line. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.

Television Antenna Information – Installing an outdoor antenna can be hazardous and should be left to a professional antenna installer. Do not locate the outside antenna system in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, take extreme care to keep from touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them might be fatal. If an outside antenna is connected to the DIRECTV Receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. This DIRECTV Receiver is equipped with a plug that will fit into the power outlet only one way. Do not modify the plug defeating this feature. If the plug does not fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet. To prevent electric shock, do not use this plug with an extension cord or outlet unless you can fully insert the blades without blade exposure. Section 810 of the NEC, NFPA No. 70 1987, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of the grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Power Lines – Extreme care must be taken when installing and adjusting or maintaining the outdoor antenna and connecting cable, especially in the vicinity of overhead power lines, electric lights, or power circuits. When installing the outdoor antenna or cable, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching or approaching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them might be fatal.

Cleaning – Unplug this receiver from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use only a damp cloth for cleaning.

Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind into this

DIRECTV Receiver through openings as they may touch dangerous voltages or “short out” parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the receiver. No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

This chapter explains:

• How to lock and unlock the system (this page).

• How to set a maximum ratings limit (see page 38).

• Setting maximum spending and time limits (see page 39).

• TV timer (see )

Locks & Limits provides settings to help you control the viewing restrictions of

DIRECTV ® programming. When accompanied by the channel lists, these limits provide a great degree of control. The DIRECTV ® Receiver must be locked for the TV Timer, Rating and Spending limits to be enforced.

Locking & unlocking the system

When you first receive your satellite system, it will be unlocked; (i.e., no limits or restrictions are in effect). You must lock the system to enforce the limits

(spending, ratings, TV timer, and “Family” favorite list).

Note: Once the DIRECTV Receiver is locked, only existing Family list channels will be accessible. If the Family list does not contain any channels, no channels can be viewed without first unlocking the receiver. To avoid this, verify the contents of the Family list before locking the receiver.

How to lock the system

When you SELECT the Lock button, the LOCK SYSTEM pop-up panel appears.

Questions & Answers

A

Questions? Did we forget to tell you something? We have compiled some the most common questions and their answers here. We hope they help!

Q I had a signal but now I am getting a message “Searching for satellite signal. To access related utilities, press SELECT .” What happened?

A Rain clouds and snow can affect the satellite signal reception. This loss of signal is temporary. Also check for new growth on trees and bushes that could be blocking the signal. One other possibility is that the wind or someone has moved the satellite dish antenna.

Q Why can’t I control my TV?

A Before you can control your TV, VCR, or any other device besides your satellite receiver, you must program your remote control to match your different devices. See Chapter 3 – Using the remote control in this manual for specific instructions. If you have already successfully programmed your remote control, try pressing the appropriate device key to put your remote in the proper mode. Then try controlling that device. Also, make sure that the batteries in the remote control are good.

Q My satellite receiver does not respond when I press keys. What’s wrong?

A Most likely, if the front panel keys work but the remote control doesn’t work, try pressing the SAT button before trying to control the digital satellite receiver. If that doesn’t work, press the SAT and MUTE buttons together and try again. If that doesn’t work, or if the front panel buttons don’t work either, unplug your digital satellite receiver for 30 seconds, then plug it back in. Your satellite receiver is a computing device. It is susceptible to erratic changes in power and/or signal, just as any other computer, and these sudden changes can cause it to become “confused.”

Q Some channels look good, while others freeze or indicate that no signal is available. What’s wrong?

A The most common causes for this behavior relate to an improperly grounded satellite cable. Check the cable between your digital satellite receiver and the satellite dish antenna. Confirm that RG-6 (not RG-59) cable is used and does not exceed 100 feet in length. Longer cable runs require amplification. This special amplifier is available from your dealer.

Q I’m getting a message to call some extension. Why?

A There are many different reasons for this. If you want to watch the channel that is displaying the message, call DIRECTV at 1-800-531-5000.

Q Why don’t I have an on-screen offer to purchase pay per view programs?

A There are three possibilities; your digital satellite receiver must be connected to a phone line and it is not, or DIRECTV doesn’t realize that your phone line is connected or has disabled your ability to make on-screen purchases. Call DIRECTV at 1-800-531-5000 for assistance.

Questions & Answers

Q Can I receive my local TV programs through my digital satellite receiver?

A There are three ways to receive local programming:

•If you are in an area where local programming is available via satellite and have the proper satellite dish antenna, contact DIRECTV to arrange for the necessary subscription package.

•Install a traditional antenna (i.e., roof mounted, attic mounted, rabbit ears).

•Arrange for basic or “lifeline” cable TV service from your local cable company.

If you select item 1 above, your local programming appears in the program guide like any other channel. For options 2 or 3, connect the local signal to the IN FROM ANTENNA jack on the back of your digital satellite receiver.

Use the INPUT key to switch between DIRECTV

® programming and local programming provided on the OUT TO TV connector.

Q I don’t see Caller ID information appear on screen when I receive a telephone call. What could be wrong?

A There are several possible reasons. First, check that the satellite receiver is connected to an active telephone jack. Verify that the Caller ID feature is turned on (refer to page 31). Confirm that you subscribe to Caller ID service from your telephone company. Also check that your antenna is properly grounded as shown on page iv, as this can affect how the Caller ID feature works.

Q If I have questions about my satellite system or need to have it serviced, who should I call?

A For issues regarding your equipment, contact Hughes Consumer Care

Center directly at 1-800-274-8995, or if you prefer, call your dealer first.

They are most familiar with your installation and needs. Also, they are likely to be local to you.

If you need assistance with your subscription, such as adding channels, contact DIRECTV at 1-800-531-5000.

Q I think I set an event to record on my VCR, but when I played the tape back nothing was there. What could be wrong?

A There are several possible reasons for this. First, check that the VCR was programmed correctly and left turned on and the input matches the output from your digital satellite receiver. Confirm that you were authorized to tape the chosen program.

Q Why do I need to connect the satellite receiver to a telephone line?

A The telephone connection is used by the satellite receiver report purchase activity to DIRECTV.

Q I picked up my telephone and it was making a hissing and squealing sound.

Why?

A Your digital satellite receiver was reporting any pay per view activity that may have occurred. This rarely happens and only lasts for a minute or so.

Q What if my question isn’t listed here?

A Call your dealer or Hughes Consumer Care Center at 1-800-274-8995.

We will do our very best to answer your questions.
