DISH Pro Twin Installation

Instructions

Introduction

These instructions guide you through the installation of a satellite TV system which includes your

DishPro or legacy receiver and a dish antenna system with a DishPro Twin LNBF. Use this supplement

along with the Dish 500 Installation Instructions with Angles Tables to streamline the installation of the

DishPro antenna system.

Important Safety Instructions

Refer to the Important Safety Instructions and Safety Tips on pages 1 through 3 of the Dish 500

Installation Instructions with Angles Tables.

Satellite Receivers

There are two types of satellite receivers:

• DishPro receivers which can be identified by the DishPro logo shown below.

• Legacy receivers which do not have the DishPro logo.

Note: If you are trying to install a Legacy receiver (no DishPro logo) into a system with DishPro

LNBFs and switches, you will need a DishPro Adapter. Contact your DISH Network retailer or call 1-

800-333-DISH (3474) for information on obtaining a DishPro Adapter.

Note: You cannot use DishPro LNBFs and switches (those marked with the DishPro logo) with Legacy

switches and LNBFs (those without the DishPro logo). You must install your DISH antenna system

with either all DishPro LNBFs and switches or all Legacy LNBFs and switches. If you mix DishPro

and Legacy, the system will not work.

Note: You can have as much as 200 feet of cable between the DishPro LNBF and the receiver.

However, you must use only RG-6 coaxial cables rated for 950 to 2150 MHz. Some cables may say

"Swept tested for 2150 MHz." If you have any doubt about this, ask your DISH retailer, or look on the

container the cable came in. Do not use cable company TV cables or cables from other satellite TV

systems not rated for 950-2150 MHz. These other cables may cause signal loss. Do not use existing

cables such as RG-59. Be sure that any outdoor connections are made using waterproof F-connectors.

Tighten all the coaxial cable connections only by hand. If you use a wrench you may over-

tighten the connections and damage your equipment. Such damage is not covered by the

Limited Warranty in the satellite receiver user’s guide that came with the system.
