Warning and Attention Symbols
You must be aware of safety when you install and use this system. This Guide provides various
procedures. If you do some of these procedures carelessly, you could injure or kill yourself or
damage equipment or property. Some other procedures require special attention.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to
alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s
enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to
persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the apparatus.
For Your Safety
Do not try to open the case. There is risk of electrical shock, which may cause
damage to the apparatus and/or personal injury or death to you. There are no userserviceable parts inside. Opening the case or making unauthorized changes will void
the warranty.
Warning: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to
rain or moisture.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
15. The receiver is still connected to the AC power whenever it is
plugged in to a live power outlet, even if it is turned off using the
remote control or front panel buttons.
16. No flame sources, such as lit candles, should be placed on the
equipment.
17. Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no
objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the
apparatus.
18. Operate the receiver using only the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. Unplug the receiver 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 fire 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 fire 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 tocuhing such
power lines or circuits, as contact with them can be fatal.
22. Do not attempt to service the receiver yourself, as opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage, and will

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. Do not expose the remote control batteries to excessive heat or
fire.

SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
27. Use an outlet that contains surge protection 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
reeiver and the antenna, and disconnect the telephone line.
These actions provide additional protection against damage
caused by lightning or power line surges.
28. Tighten all the coaxial cable connections only by hand. If you use
a wrench, you may overtighten the connections and damage the
equipment.
CAUTION—To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26
AWG or larger telecommunication line cord.
PROPER CARE OF YOUR EQUIPMENT
•
•
•
•
Always handle the receiver carefully. Excessive shock and
vibration can damage the hard drive.
If the receiver is turned on and needs to be moved, always turn
the receiver off, unplug it, and then let it sit idle for at least 30
seconds before moving it.
The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the
receiver manufacturer will void the Limited Warranty.
Do not stack the receiver on top of or below other electronic
devices, as this can cause heat build-up and vibration.
On some TVs, the presence of fixed images for extended
periods of time may cause them to be permanently
imprinted on the screen. Consult your TV user guide on
whether this is a problem for your TV, what operating/viewing
restrictions apply to avoid this problem, and associated TV warranty coverage.
iv
Proper Care of Your Equipment
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be detremined by turning the
equipment off and on, then the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocated the antenna assembly.
• Increase the separation between the equipment.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the DISH Network receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
Note to Installer: This reminder is provided to call the satellite TV
system installer's attention to Article 820-40 section II of the National
Electrical Code (NEC) that provides guidelines for proper grounding
and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected
to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable

Appendix
DISH Network’s Exchange Program
DISH Network offers two options if you need to replace your satellite receiver equipment or its
accessories.
Advance Exchange Program
The Advance Exchange Program allows you to have replacement equipment shipped
immediately to you (depending upon where you live, it could take three to five business days).
Along with replacement equipment, you will receive a prepaid shipping label and instructions on
how to return the defective equipment. The shipping charge, for receiving replacement
equipment and returning the defective equipment, is a one-time fee based on DISH Network's
competitive bulk shipping rates (additional charges may apply outside of the continental US).
This fee will be charged to your billing account or your valid credit card. If you do not ship the
defective equipment to DISH Network within ten days after receiving the replacement, your
billing account or credit card will be charged the market price of the replacement. If you return
the defective equipment after ten days, you will receive a full refund less an administrative fee.
If your equipment is out of warranty and can be repaired your billing account or credit card will be
charged the standard repair fee for the replacement. If damage to the defective equipment is
found, which DISH Network in its sole discretion determines has voided the warranty, or makes
the equipment unrepairable, billing account or credit card will be charged the market price of the
replacement.
Post Receipt Exchange Program
You may choose to ship the equipment to us at your cost. To provide faster service, upon receipt
of your equipment you will be shipped a replacement. Your original equipment will not be
available for return.
The equipment you return will be checked to verify whether it is covered under this warranty. If
the defective equipment is covered under this warranty, it will be replaced and shipped back to
you at no additional cost (additional charges may apply outside of the continental US).
If your equipment is out of warranty and can be repaired your billing account or credit card will be
charged the standard repair fee for the replacement. If damage to the defective equipment is
found, which DISH Network in its sole discretion determines has voided the warranty, or makes
the equipment unrepairable, your billing account or credit card will be charged the market price
of the replacement.
Accessory Warranty
An accessory is any DISH Network branded equipment, displaying the DISH Network logo,
excluding the receiver, cables and hookups, and non-mechanical components. A one-year
warranty becomes effective upon the activation of the DISH system or date of purchase, if
bought separately. A proof of purchase is required to verify the purchase date. If an accessory
has an expired warranty, no exchange will be issued. You may purchase replacement
accessories from DISH Network or your local retailer.

you may be subject to legal action. You must be at least 18 years of age, or the applicable age of

fee will apply as detailed in Section 2(D). Pre-Pay Promotion customers may only order pay-perview Services by calling 1-877-DISH-PPV (3473-778).
G.Accessing the Internet Through Your Receiver. Some of our receivers can be used to access
websites and information on the Internet. Neither DISH Network nor EchoStar Technologies
L.L.C. ("EchoStar") has any control over such websites and information, and neither we nor
EchoStar make any representations, warranties or guarantees as to the availability or content of
such websites and information, including without limitation: (i) the accuracy, availability,
sequence, completeness, timeliness, copyright compliance, legality, content, validity, or quality
of any such websites or information; or (ii) whether using the software contained in such
receivers may result in accessing unintended, inappropriate or objectionable content. We and/or
EchoStar may change, limit, suspend, disable and/or remove your ability to access the Internet
using your receiver at any time without notice. We and/or EchoStar may also limit or restrict the
websites and information that you may access on the Internet using your receiver at any time
without notice.
H. Private Home Viewing Only. DISH Network provides Services to you solely for viewing, use
and enjoyment in your private home. You agree that no Services provided to you will be viewed
in areas open to the public, commercial establishments or other residential locations. Services
may not be rebroadcast or performed, and admission may not be charged for listening to or
viewing any Services. If your Services are viewed in an area open to the public, a commercial
establishment or another residential location, we may disconnect your Services and, in addition
to all other applicable fees, you must pay us the difference between the price actually paid for
Services and the full applicable rate for such Services, regardless of whether we have the right
to distribute such Services in such other location.
I. Changes in Services Offered. We may add, delete, rearrange and/or change any and all
programming, programming packages and other Services that we offer, as well as the prices and
fees related to such programming, programming packages and Services, at any time, including
without limitation, during any term commitment period to which you have agreed. If a change
affects you, we will notify you of such change and its effective date. In the event that we delete,
rearrange or change any programming, programming packages or other Services, we have no
obligation to replace or supplement such programming, programming packages or other
Services. You are not entitled to any refund because of a deletion, rearrangement or change of
any programming, programming packages or other Services.
20
J. Promotional Offers and Items. If a third party, such as an independent DISH Network retailer,
integrator or private cable operator, offered you a promotional offer or item in connection with
your subscription to the Services, such third party is wholly responsible for fulfilling such
promotional offer or providing such promotional item, and DISH Network is not in any way
responsible for such fulfillment.
2.
BILLING POLICIES; PAYMENTS FOR SERVICES; FEES
A. Payments. You agree to pay all amounts billed for Services, as well as all taxes, fees and
other charges, if any, that are now or may in the future be assessed in connection with any
Services you receive from us, and any other charges due and owing to us. State and local taxes
or reimbursement charges for gross earnings taxes imposed on satellite providers for
transmission of programming in some states may apply. Unless you prepay for a multi-month
subscription to Services or prepay for all Services as required by your participation in a Pre-Pay
Promotion, we will bill you monthly in advance for most Services and in arrears for other
Services such as pay-per-view ordered by you or anyone who uses your Equipment, whether
with or without your permission, until you cancel your Services. Multi-month subscription
customers and Pre-Pay Promotion customers will be billed based on your pre-pay period (multimonth subscriptions) or monthly (Pre-Pay Promotion customers), and must make all payments
in advance of the due date on your bill in order to continue receiving your Services; you must
also pre-pay for all other Services, such as pay-per-view, ordered by you or anyone who uses
your Equipment, whether with or without your permission.
B. Billing Policies. Your bills will show the total amount due, the payment due date, payments,
credits, purchases and other charges to your account. You may submit your payment by mail,
on our website, through our AutoPay program, by calling a DISH Network customer service
representative, or by any other means that we designate. Partial payments will be applied first to
the oldest outstanding bill. You must make your payment regardless of whether you receive a
bill. We do not assume the risk of undelivered mail. If you send checks or money orders marked
with a designation such as "payment in full," we can accept them without waiving any of our
rights, including without limitation, our rights to collect any other amounts owed by you,
notwithstanding your characterization of such payment. DISH Network does not extend credit to
our customers, and the Late Payment Fee (as detailed in Section 2(D)) is not interest, a credit
service charge or a finance charge. Certain fees and charges may apply in certain
circumstances to your payment for the Services, including without limitation, those set forth in
Section 2(D).
C. Alterations to Payment Terms. If you pay for a monthly subscription (other than a Pre-Pay
Promotion) and your account is past due on more than one occasion, we may require that you
pay for all Services and Equipment before you receive them, and you will be deemed to be
receiving your Service under a Pre-Pay Promotion, at which point, all terms and conditions of
such Pre-Pay Promotion will apply to you. If you paid for a multi-month subscription to any
Services and your account is past due for any amount, we may convert your multi-month
subscription to a monthly subscription, and we will first apply the amount you paid for your multimonth subscription to any past due amounts and then to any obligations you incur in the future.
21
Appendix
D. Fees. In addition to any amounts due for your Services and any other amounts due under this
Agreement or any applicable Promotion Agreement, you agree to pay the fees listed below
("Fees") if and when applicable. DISH Network may change these Fees, increase or decrease
these Fees, or impose additional Fees at any time upon notice to you. Discounts on certain

your Services, and in such event we will be wholly relieved from any and all of our duties and
obligations under this Agreement. If your Services are disconnected for non-payment or any
other reason, DISH Network may require that you pay, and you agree to pay, before we
reconnect your Services, all past due charges, a Restart Fee, a deposit equal to a minimum of
two months' service charges (or in the case of a restart under a Pre-Pay Promotion, one month's
service charges), and all outstanding balances accrued through the date of such disconnection.
If your Services are disconnected for non-payment or any other reason, you will no longer be
eligible, even if you pay to restart your Service, to receive any remaining credits or promotional
pricing that you would have been eligible to receive had your Services not been disconnected.
24
Unless required by applicable law, deposits will not be held segregated from other funds and will
not earn or accrue interest. Promotional pricing is valid only at the time of installation.
F.Attorneys’ Fees/Collections. If we use an attorney or a collection agency to collect any money
you owe us or to assert any other right that we may have against you, including without
limitation, any breach of any agreement you may have with DISH Network or one of our
affiliates, you agree to pay the reasonable costs of such collection or other action. These costs
may include, without limitation, the costs of a collection agency, reasonable attorneys' fees and
court costs. If you believe you have been billed in error or you would like to make any other
requests for a billing statement credit, you must contact our customer service center by
telephone or in writing within twenty (20) days after the date you receive the bill for which you are
seeking correction. Failure to timely notify us of a dispute will constitute your acceptance of the
corresponding bill. You must pay undisputed portions of any billing statement before the next
billing statement is issued or you must pay a Late Payment Fee. All payments for Services must
be made directly by you to us, unless we authorize otherwise; for example, DISH Network shall
have no obligation to provide Services for which payment is made by you to a third party or
payment is made by a third party on your behalf.
G.Billing Agent Payments. Different or other payment and billing terms, conditions, options and
fees may apply when billing is provided through a third-party billing agent, including without
limitation, a local telephone company.

CANCELLATION OF SERVICE
A. Continuation of Services. Your subscription to Services will automatically renew until you
cancel your Services or we otherwise disconnect your Services, in each case as provided herein
or in any applicable Promotion Agreement.
B. Cancellation Policies. You may cancel your Services for any reason at any time by notifying
us at the phone number, e-mail address or mailing address set forth at the top of this Agreement.
Please be aware that certain promotions have an optional or mandatory term commitment
period and if you cancel your Services prior to the expiration of an applicable optional or
mandatory term commitment period, certain early termination or cancellation fees may apply.
C. Disconnection of Services. In addition to all other rights that DISH Network may have to
disconnect your Services, DISH Network may disconnect your Services at any time without
notifying you if: (i) you fail to pay any bill in full when it is due; (ii) we receive confirmation that
you have received Services, or any part of the Services, without paying for them; (iii) you
otherwise violate the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any applicable Promotion
Agreement; (iv) you transfer, encumber or relocate any leased Equipment (unless you relocate
such Equipment as part of a residential move into an area within which you can permissibly
continue to receive such Services); (v) you assign or attempt to assign any of your rights, duties
or obligations under this Agreement or any applicable Promotion Agreement; (vi) you are
receiving Services through a third-party billing agent and become ineligible to receive applicable

bankruptcy or bankruptcy proceedings are commenced against you
D. No Credits. If your Services are cancelled or disconnected for any reason, you still must pay
all outstanding balances accrued, including without limitation, any applicable fees. Except in
certain limited circumstances, charges for Services, once charged to your account, are nonrefundable, and no refunds or credits will be provided in connection with the cancellation of
Services. If you received a discounted price due to a promotion, and you cancel prior to any
applicable expiration of that promotion, you are not entitled to any refund or credit for the unused
portions of such discounted price. If you received a discounted price in exchange for your
agreement to pay for your Services on a multi-month basis, and you cancel your Services prior
to the expiration of your multi-month subscription, you are not entitled to any refund or credit for
the unused portions of your multi-month subscription.
4.
EQUIPMENT
A. Equipment. In order to receive Services you must purchase or lease certain reception
equipment consisting primarily of a DISH Network compatible satellite receiver(s) and applicable
25
Appendix
Smart Card(s), remote control(s), satellite antenna(s), and low noise block converter(s) with
integrated feed(s) (collectively, "Equipment").
B.Additional Tuners and Receivers. We may choose to allow you to place additional receivers
on your account. If we allow you to do so, each additional receiver will be authorized to receive
the same Services as your initial receiver, subject to the limitations of your television equipment.
All of your receivers must be located at the same residence and continuously connected to the
same land-based telephone line and/or broadband home network. If you wish to receive
Services at two different residential locations, you must open a separate account for each
location, unless otherwise specifically authorized by Dish Network. You may not directly or
indirectly use a single account for the purpose of authorizing Services for multiple DISH Network
receivers that are not all located in the same residence and connected to the same land-based
telephone line and/or broadband home network. If we later determine that you did, we may
disconnect your Services and, in addition to all other applicable fees, you agree to pay us the
difference between the amounts actually received by us and the full retail price for the Services
authorized for each DISH Network receiver on your account.
C. Smart Cards. Receiver(s) are equipped with a conditional access card ("Smart Card")
inserted into a slot or otherwise installed in such receiver. Not all receivers with a Smart Card
slot require a Smart Card for proper authorization. Smart Cards remain the property of DISH
Network at all times and must be returned to us upon our request. Smart Cards are not
transferable. Your Smart Card will only work in the DISH Network receiver to which it was
assigned by DISH Network. If you report to our customer service center that your Smart Card
has been lost, damaged, defective or stolen, we will replace it, unless there is evidence of
unauthorized tampering or modification, and a Smart Card Replacement Fee will apply. In
addition, in order to minimize downtime for your Equipment, DISH Network will, upon your
request, deliver a replacement Smart Card to you via overnight delivery, in which case an
Overnight Delivery Fee will apply.
D. PVR/DVR. DISH Network's personal video recorder/digital video recorder ("PVR/DVR")
products allow you to record programming in digital format. Total available recording time varies
depending on your receiver and the nature of the programs being recorded. DISH Network does
not guarantee access to or recording of any particular programming, or that any such
programming will not be deleted from your PVR/DVR product. Most programming is the
copyrighted material of the third party that supplies it; is protected by copyright and other
applicable laws; and may not be reproduced, published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed
without the written permission of the third party that supplied it (except as permitted by the "fair
use" provisions of the U.S. copyright laws).
E. Telephone/Broadband Connection. To optimize the operation of your Equipment, you must
continuously connect each DISH Network receiver on your account to the same land-based
telephone line and/or a broadband home network. Failure to connect each receiver to the same
land-based telephone line and/or a broadband home network may result in interruption or
disconnection of Services. We may charge you a TV2 Receiver Connection Fee for each dualtuner receiver that is not connected to the same land-based telephone line and/or a broadband
home network.
F. Receiver Alterations. DISH Network may, through periodic downloads, alter the software,
features and/or functionality in your DISH Network receivers; provide data and content to PVR/
DVR products; store and remove data and content on the hard drives of PVR/DVR products; and
send electronic counter-measures to your DISH Network receivers. DISH Network will use
commercially reasonable efforts to schedule these downloads to minimize interference with or
interruption to your Services, but shall have no liability to you for any interruptions in Services
arising out of or related to such downloads. DISH Network may from time to time cease
supporting one or more DISH Network receiver models.
G. Proprietary Components and Software. DISH Network receivers and Smart Cards contain
components and software that are proprietary to DISH Network and its licensors. You agree that
you will not try to reverse-engineer, decompile or disassemble, nor will you tamper with or
modify, any software or hardware contained within any receiver or Smart Card. Such actions are
strictly prohibited and may result in the termination of this Agreement, disconnection of your
Services and/or legal action.

receiver(s), as updated by DISH Network, its licensors and/or its suppliers from time to time,
solely in executable code form, solely in conjunction with lawful operation of the DISH Network

Agreement. You may not copy, modify or transfer any software provided in your DISH Network
receiver(s), or any copy of such software, in whole or in part. You may not reverse-engineer,
disassemble, decompile or translate such software, or otherwise attempt to derive its source

resell for profit or distribute any software provided in your DISH Network receiver(s), or any part
thereof. Such software is licensed, not sold, to you for use only under the terms and conditions
of this license, and DISH Network, its licensors and its suppliers reserve all rights not expressly
granted to you. Except as stated above, this license does not grant to you any intellectual
property rights in the software provided in your DISH Network receiver(s). Any attempt to
transfer any of the rights, duties or obligations of this license is null and void. If you breach any
term or condition of this license, this license will automatically terminate.
I. Stolen Equipment. . If any of your Equipment is stolen or otherwise removed from your
premises without your authorization, you must notify our customer service center by telephone
or in writing immediately, but in any event not later than three (3) business days after such
removal, to avoid liability for payment for unauthorized use of your Equipment. You will not be
liable for unauthorized use that occurs after we have received your notification.

reconditioned Equipment at any time, and upon cancellation or disconnection of your Services,
remove or require the return of such Equipment. No leased Equipment provided to you by DISH
Network shall be deemed fixtures or part of your real property. We may make such filings and
recordings that we may consider necessary to evidence our ownership rights in such Equipment,
and you agree to execute any and all documents that we may consider necessary for us to make
such filings. Our ownership of such Equipment may be displayed by notice contained on it. You
have no right at any time to pledge, sell, mortgage, otherwise encumber, give away, remove,
relocate, alter or tamper with such Equipment, or to tamper with or alter any notice of our
ownership on such Equipment. Any reinstallation, return, or change in the location of such
Equipment must be performed by DISH Network at our then-current service rates. You shall not
attach any electrical or other devices to, or in any way alter, any such Equipment without our
prior written consent. You are responsible for preventing the loss or destruction of leased
Equipment and we recommend that such Equipment be covered by your homeowners, renters
or other insurance policy.
B. Return of Leased Equipment. Upon cancellation or disconnection of your Services, you must
contact our customer service center or call the telephone number set forth in any applicable
Promotion Agreement to schedule the return of your leased Equipment. If you do not return such
Equipment undamaged and in working order, normal wear and tear excepted, you are

FCC COMPLIANCE
The following text is extracted from Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
regulations, as of the publication date of this Guide. Contact the FCC (see following) or
your library for the complete text of the regulations.
Telephone Communication
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the
ACTA. On the back panel of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a
product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided
to the telephone company.
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network
must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A
compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be
connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant, such as RJ-11. See installation
instructions for details.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line.
Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an
incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be
certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total
RENs, contact the local telephone company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN
for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The
digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For
earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you
in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn't
practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be
advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or
procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens the telephone
company will provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to
maintain uninterrupted service.
If trouble is experienced with this equipment, for repair or warranty information, please contact
DISH Network at 1-800-333-DISH (3474). If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone
network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the
problem is resolved.
There are no user serviceable parts inside.
Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility
commission, public service commission or corporation commission for information.
If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the
installation of this equipment does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions
about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.
