HERE'S HOW EASY IS TO INSTALL YOUR ENHANCED HD ADAPTER INTO YOUR MODEL 6000 RECEIVER. IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS, OR NEED ADDITIONAL DETAILS, PLEASE CONSULT YOUR INSTRUCTION MANUAL.

PRECAUTIONS
BE SURE TO UNPLUG THE RECEIVER POWER CORD WHENEVER YOU INSTALL OR REMOVE THE ADAPTER! THIS IS TO REDUCE THE DANGER OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, WHICH COULD DAMAGE THE ADAPTER AND THE RECEIVER AND INJURE YOU.

  1. BE SURE TO KEEP THE ADAPTER IN ITS BOX UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO INSERT IT.
  2. KEEP ONE HAND ON THE ADAPTER AND THE OTHER ON THE RECEIVER AS YOU INSERT THE ADAPTER. THIS IS TO REDUCE THE CHANCE OF A SPARK BETWEEN THE ADAPTER AND THE RECEIVER.
  3. DO NOT TOUCH THE GOLD-COLORED PINS ON THE CONNECTOR EDGE OF THE ADAPTER! IF YOU GET DUST OR OIL ON THESE PINS WHERE IT WILL GET INTO THE RECEIVER PORT, THE ADAPTER AND RECEIVER MAY NOT WORK PROPERLY.

PREPARING YOUR RECEIVER
TO INSTALL THE ADAPTER, YOU MUST FIRST CONFIRM THE SOFTWARE IN THE MODEL 6000 IS UPGRADED TO WORK WITH THE ADAPTER.
 

  1. PRESS THE "SYS INFO" BUTTON ON THE FRONT OF THE RECEIVER AND LOOK AT THE SOFTWARE VERSION. IF IT IS 775P OR HIGHER, YOU HAVE THE CORRECT SOFTWARE. IF YOUR SOFTWARE VERSION IS LESS THAN 775P, YOU'LL NEED TO SET UP THE RECEIVER TO TAKE A SOFTWARE UPGRADE BY PERFORMING THE FOLLOWING STEPS:

     
    1. USING THE REMOTE CONTROL OR FRONT PANEL POWER BUTTON, TURN THE RECEIVER OFF FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES TO ALLOW THE RECEIVER TO TAKE A SOFTWARE UPGRADE THROUGH THE SATELLITE SYSTEM.
    2. TURN THE RECEIVER ON AND PRESS THE "SYS INFO" BUTTON ON THE FRONT OF THE RECEIVER TO CHECK THE SOFTWARE VERSION. NOTE: IF IT HAS NOT CHANGED, CONFIRM THAT YOU CAN VIEW SATELLITE CHANNELS (CHANNELS 100 AND ABOVE), THEN TURN OFF YOUR RECEIVER AND WAIT AN HOUR.

       
  2. ONCE YOU'VE CONFIRMED YOUR SOFTWARE VERSION IS 775P OR HIGHER, UNPLUG THE RECEIVER POWER CORD.

     
  3. DISCONNECT THE CABLE FROM THE SATELLITE IN JACK ON THE RECEIVER'S BACK PANEL.

     
  4. IF YOU HAVE AN INFRARED EXTENDER OR OTHER CABLE CONNECTED TO YOUR ACCESSORY JACK ON THE RECEIVER REAR PANEL, DO THE FOLLOWING:

     
    1. DISCONNECT THE CABLE.
    2. UNSCREW THE TWO SCREWS FROM MODULE 1 PORT ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RECEIVER'S BACK PANEL AND REMOVE THE COVER. KEEP THE COVER SCREWS, TO USE IN ATTACHING THE ADAPTER.. STORE THE COVER.

       
  5. INSTALL THE ADAPTER IN PORT 1 ONLY. SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE RECEIVER OR ADAPTER CAN OCCUR IF YOU ATTEMPT TO INSTALL THE ADAPTER IN THE OTHER PORT.

     
  6. PLUG THE ADAPTER INTO THE PORT, SO THE SATELLITE IN 13/18 V = 400MA WORDING IS RIGHT SIDE UP.

     
  7. ATTACH THE ADAPTER WITH THE TWO COVER SCREWS. SECURELY TIGHTEN THE TWO SCREWS TO MAKE SURE THE ADAPTER SEATS PROPERLY INSIDE THE RECEIVER. FAILURE TO FULLY TIGHTEN THE SCREWS COULD RESULT IN IMPROPER OPERATION OF THE ADAPTER.

     
  8. RECONNECT THE CABLE THAT YOU DISCONNECTED, TO THE NEW SATELLITE IN CONNECTION LOCATED ON THE BACK OF THE ADAPTER.

     
  9. PLUG IN THE RECEIVER'S POWER CORD.

NOTE: IF FOR SOME REASON YOU REMOVE THE ADAPTER, YOU MUST COVER THE PORT WHEN IT IS NOT IN USE TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE PORT. DAMAGE TO AN UNCOVERED PORT IS NOT COVERED BY THE LIMITED WARRANTY IN THE RECEIVER USER GUIDE. TO COMPLY WITH FCC REGULATIONS, DO NOT USE THE ACCESSORY JACK AFTER YOU INSTALL THE ADAPTER. COVER THE ACCESSORY JACK WITH THE ADHESIVE PATCH WE PROVIDED IN THE KIT UNLESS THE ADAPTER HAS A TAB THAT COVERS THE JACK. SEE THE BACK OF THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR FCC REGULATIONS.
