Appendix E
EchoStar Commissioning
Procedure
If you have purchased a DISH Network system, there is a
chance that your EchoStar IRD will fail to acquire the satellite
when you first activate it. This has been known to happen in
IRDs that have not been commissioned within several months
of their manufacture. The following process is a manual
method of acquiring the satellite for the first time so that the
IRD can download the most up-to-date satellite and
programming data, allowing it to automatically acquire the
satellite from then on.
Please refer to your EchoStar IRD user manual for complete
instructions on the IRD, the remote control, and the command
screens.
