4 Follow all instructions.
5 Do not use the apparatus near water.
6 Clean only with a dry cloth.
7 Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
8 Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
apparatus(includingampliers)thatproduceheat.
9 Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized
plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two
blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for
yoursafety.Iftheprovidedplugdoesnottintoyouroutlet,consultanelectricianfor
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10 Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11 Onlyuseattachments/accessoriesspeciedbythemanufacturer.
12 Unplug the apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
13 Referallservicingtoqualiedservicepersonnel.Servicingisrequiredwhenthe
apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as the power supply cord or plug is
damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into it, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
14 The power plug must be readily accessible so that the apparatus can be easily
disconnected from the AC power.
15 The receiver is still connected to the AC power whenever it is plugged into a live
power outlet, even if it is turned off using the remote control or front panel buttons.
16 Noamesources,suchaslitcandles,shouldbeplacedontheequipment.
17 Theapparatusshallnotbeexposedtodrippingorsplashing,andnoobjectslledwith
liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the top of it.
18 Use only the power supply provided with the receiver. Unplug the receiver’s power
cord by gripping the power plug, not the cord.
19 Donotoverloadwalloutletsorextensioncords;thiscanresultinariskofreor
electrical shock.
20 Never insert objects of any kind into the receiver through openings, as the objects
maytouchdangerousvoltagepointsorshortoutparts.Thiscouldcausereor
electrical shock.
21 Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or power circuits, or where it can fall
into such power lines or circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care to
avoid touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them can be fatal.
Hopper_3_UserGuide.indd 4 8/17/2015 1:05:30 PM
V
22 Do not attempt to service the receiver yourself, as opening or removing covers
may expose you to dangerous voltage and will void the Limited Warranty. Refer all
servicing to authorized service personnel.
23 Unplug the receiver from the AC power outlet before cleaning.
24 Do not place the receiver in an enclosure such as a cabinet without proper ventilation.
25 Do not install the receiver in any area where the temperature can be less than 40°F or
more than 113°F. If the receiver is cold to the touch, do not plug it in immediately. Let
it sit unplugged at room temperature for at least 45 minutes before plugging it in.
26 Use an outlet that contains surge suppression or ground fault protection. During an
electrical storm or when the receiver is left unattended and unused for long periods
of time, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, disconnect the lines between the
receiver and the antenna, and disconnect the telephone line. These actions provide
additional protection against damage caused by lightning or power line surges.
27 Tighten all of the coaxial cable connections only by hand. If you use a wrench, you
may overtighten the connections and damage your equipment.

Hopper 3 Receiver
Your new Hopper® 3 receiver is a Whole-Home HD DVR that offers full digital video
recording functionality, including pausing live TV, to every TV in your house that is
part of your Whole-Home DVR system. The Hopper 3 receiver is the hub for all things
entertainment. It is an HD DVR that provides the equivalent of 16 tuners, allowing you to
record multiple HD channels at once and at any time and play them back in any room in
your home. Using the PrimeTime Anytime® feature, you can record up to six HD channels
simultaneously (with your local ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC channels provided in HD,
which may not be available in all markets). It is one HD DVR that works independently
on as many as four different TVs at the same time, so everyone can be in different room
watching their favorite TV programming.
Joey® receivers (Joey®, SuperJoey®, Wireless Joey®, 4K Joey™) connect to other TVs
in your home and link to the Hopper 3 system, creating a Whole-Home DVR network. It
supports all of the features of the Hopper 3 (with the exception of Picture-In-Picture) and
offers an identical user interface as the Hopper 3. You can connect a Joey receiver to a
high-denitionorstandard-denitionTV.
The remote uses radio frequency (RF) signals to control the Hopper 3 receiver and IR
signals to control any other equipment you have programmed. RF signals travel relatively
long distances and can go through walls and other solid objects. IR signals, used in TV,
DVD, and AUX device modes, travel up to 40 feet in a straight line-of-sight and cannot go
through walls or other solid objects. Point the remote directly at the equipment you want to
control without any objects blocking the signal path.
Note: The term “Hopper” in this document represents both the original Hopper® receiver,
the Hopper® with Sling® receiver, and the Hopper® 3 receiver.

Troubleshooting
Use this information if you have a problem using the Hopper 3 receiver. To solve a
particular problem, do the following:
• Inthefollowingsection,ndtheinformationthatrelatestotheproblemyouare
experiencing. Try the suggested solution for that problem.
• Make sure your remote control has fresh batteries. If you see the Remote Battery
Low warning on your TV screen, change the batteries.
• Visit mydish.com/support.
The Hopper 3 receiver does not turn on.
What to do: If the green power LED on the Hopper 3 receiver does not light after
applying power, verify that
• the power connector is properly inserted into the Hopper 3.
• the power cord hasn’t been damaged or pinched.
• there is power to the outlet.
How do I nd something to watch?
What to do: Press the HOME button on your remote for suggested programs to watch.
Press the GUIDE button for a complete listing of available programs.
Why are some of the channels red in the Program Guide?
What to do: The channels that are red in the Program Guide are those which are not
currently included with your DISH package. If you’d like to watch those channels, call
1-800-333-DISH (3474) or visit www.mydish.com.
I’m looking at program information in a guide I bought at the grocery store, but
nothing matches what’s on my Hopper 3; is something wrong?
What to do: No,nothing’swrong.DISHprogrammingdatamayvaryformwhatyou’llnd
in a local TV publication. For best results, use the Program Guide on your system, or you
can order DISH Entertainment Magazine [contact DISH at 1-800-333-DISH (3474) or visit
www.mydish.com].
I am trying to watch a program, but the TV Activity displays instead.
What to do: All tuners on the receivers are currently in use, either by other TVs, the
DVR(s) recording a program(s), the receivers taking a software download, and/or a remote
viewing session occurring. You can wait until a tuner becomes available, watch the same
programming that is displaying on another TV, stop a recording, or select PrimeTime
Anytime®, On Demand, or DVR.

Continued on next page
My PIP (Picture-In-Picture) button isn’t working.
What to do: The PIP feature is available only on the Hopper 3 receiver.
When can I use the Picture-In-Picture (PIP) feature on the Hopper 3?
What to do: When any two of the tuners on your Hopper 3 receiver are available, you
can use the PIP functions on the TV that is connected to your Hopper 3 receiver. The
TV(s) connected to your linked Joey receiver(s) do not support the PIP feature.
Why isn’t PIP working?
What to do: If the PIP feature is not working on your Hopper 3 receiver, there must not be
two available tuners. Check TV Activity to view tuner use (see Sharing Content).
Can I watch and use the DVR functions on the same program on all of the TVs in my
house?
What to do: Yes. Go to the room with a linked Joey receiver connected to a TV, and the
remote control for that Joey receiver operates the same DVR features and functions as
the Hopper 3 receiver.
Why does my receiver change channels or display menus at random?
What to do: A close neighbor may have a DISH remote control set on the same address.
Ifthereissignicantradio-frequencyinterferencewithremote-controlsignals,thenyou
may have to install a UHF attenuator.
Why are some of my channels missing?
What to do: Parental controls may be set to lock or hide the channels. See Setting
Parental Controls to view the current settings. Your Program Guide may be displaying
the wrong list of channels. Press the GUIDE button on your DISH remote to access the
Program Guide and display the default Favorites List.
How can I order an event for all receivers in my whole-home DVR system?
What to do: Order the event with the remote control while your Hopper 3 receiver
is attached to an active phone line or broadband Internet connection. For each Joey
receiver, you want to play the event, ensure that it is linked to the correct Hopper 3.
Order the event over the phone at 1-877-DISH-PPV (347-4778). Fees may apply.
Order the event online at www.mydish.com/ppv website.

What to do: Sporting events and other programs are sometimes blacked out because of
local broadcast restrictions. Note that the provider of such programming determines these
restrictions, not DISH.
Why did my All-Day Pay-Per-View program shut off while I was watching it?
What to do: The all-day events run from 3 AM to 3 AM Mountain Time. You should
ensurethatyoucannishwatchinganeventthatyouhaveorderedbythistime.
Why are channels missing from the Program Guide?
What to do: You might have a Favorites List that does not contain those channels.
The channels may be locked and hidden by parental controls. For more information about
locks, see Setting Parental Controls.
Why are my Favorites Lists missing?
What to do: When a receiver is in a Whole-Home DVR system, the Favorites Lists
created by users of a different receiver in the home are not available on your TV.
Why don’t the locks I set for a remote TV work?
What to do: If the receiver is in a Whole-Home DVR system, then any locks you have
setonotherTVsarenotavailable.LocksandrestrictionsarespecictoeachHopper3
and Joey receiver in your system. However, you can copy all the same parental-control
settings you have made on your Hopper 3 receiver to one or more linked Joey receivers
in your whole-home DVR system. See Setting Parental Controls to copy settings from the
Hopper 3 to the linked Joey receivers. Note that you cannot copy settings made on a Joey
receiver to any other Joey receivers (or back to a Hopper 3 receiver) in your whole-home
system.
What do I do if I forget my password?
What to do: If you ever forget your password, then you need to contact a DISH Customer
Service Representative.

How can I fast-forward through commercials?
What to do: If you are watching a pre-recorded program, or have delayed a live program,
press the SKIP FWD or FWD button on your remote control. However, you cannot skip/
forward while watching live TV.
Why did the receiver delete a program that I recorded?
What to do: Ifyourrecordingwasunprotectedandthereceiver’shard-diskdrivellsup,
your DVR deletes the oldest unprotected recording.
Your picture is snowy (or black or blue).
What to do: Make sure your TV is tuned to the correct channel. Make sure the cables are
completely and correctly connected from the Hopper 3 receiver to the TV.
Your remote control does not work well when controlling the Hopper 3 receiver.
What to do: Verify that your remote has fresh batteries. There is a Battery Level indicator
on the System Info screen that displays three levels: Green (good), Yellow (low), and Red
(critical). If this indicator is at Yellow or Red, replace the batteries with new batteries of the
same type and kind.
Verify that your remote is paired. This information is provided on the System Info screen.
If it is not paired, pair the remote.
Verify or adjust the remote-control antenna connection.
Other devices, such as wireless routers, Bluetooth®, 2G phones, and microwave ovens,
could create interference and affect the performance of your remote. Move your receiver
away from other electronic devices that could potentially cause interference.
My remote doesn’t control my Hopper 3 receiver or other components. What do I
do?
What to do: Make sure the remote control is in the correct device mode (SAT, TV, AUX).
Check that the batteries are working and installed correctly.
If the remote isn’t controlling the Hopper 3, verify or adjust the remote-control antenna
connection.

Troubleshooting, cont’d
While performing a remote control procedure, the remote control stops working.
What to do: Start over again. If you don’t press a button for
20 seconds in a programming sequence, the remote shuts off its programming function.
My remote is not working.
What to do: Verify the batteries are installed according to the diagram inside the remote
control’s battery compartment.
Check the Battery Level indicator located in the System Info screen. This indicator
displays three levels: Green (good), Yellow (low), and Red (critical). If this indicator is at
Yellow or Red, replace the batteries with batteries of the same type and size.
Conrmtheremoteisinthecorrectmodeforthedeviceyouwanttocontrol.Forexample,
to control the Hopper 3 receiver, press SAT on the remote before the function you want
performed.
Make sure you are using the correct remote control provided for your Hopper 3 receiver by
pressing the Locate Remote button on the front panel of the Hopper 3 (see Locating the
Remote on page 11).
The remote uses radio frequency (RF) signals to operate your Hopper 3 receiver. Other
equipment is usually controlled using infrared (IR) light signals. If you have programmed
the remote to control your equipment in other device modes, then the remote control must
have a clear line-of-sight to the front of these other devices.
Check that all cable connections to the Hopper 3 receiver and TV are secure.
Press the Reset button on the front panel of the Hopper 3 to reset the system. After the
system comes back up, try the remote to see if it is now working.
If your remote is showing that it is paired but isn’t working, select Un-Pair on the System
Infoscreenandlistenfortheconrmationtone.PressPAIRtopairtheremoteagain.If
you do not hear the tone, continue with the next suggestion.
