IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

INTRODUCTION

TAILGATER PACKAGE CONTENTS

Satellite television uses satellites in a geo-stationary orbit over the earth. This type of orbit enables

the satellites to stay aligned over one place on the surface of the earth and to transmit your

television programming to the Tailgater when pointed at the appropriate satellite.

Your television programming is delivered from up to 3 satellites located at the 110°, 119°, and 129°

west longitudes. The Tailgater will automatically find and then switch between satellites as you

change channels to offer you the ideal viewing experience.

Due to the low look angle for the 129

satellite in the northeastern region of the

United States, you may experience

difficulty viewing programming from the

129 satellite while in the northeastern

region. (Programming from the 110 and

119 satellites should still be available.)

Because of the small size of the highly portable Tailgater, signal strength may not be as

strong as with a fixed home antenna.

OBSTRUCTIONS

The Tailgater requires an unobstructed view of the southern sky for the best signal reception.

Be sure to place the Tailgater in a location free from obstructions such as people, trees, buildings,

vehicles, etc. This will allow for the strongest signal and will help prevent any interruption to your

programming.

RAIN AND SNOW FADE

Though rare, heavy rain, snow, or dense cloud cover can reduce the satellite signal, which may

interrupt your programming. Your programming should return as conditions improve.

This map is an approximation

only. The available coverage

area may differ from what is

indicated on the map.

ABOUT SATELLITE TV RECEPTION

ABOUT SIGNAL LOSS

DO NOT BLOCK THE TAILGATER’S LINE OF SIGHT TO THE SATELLITES

IN THE SOUTHERN SKY AT ANY TIME!

After making the connections and completing the scan on pages 4-8, please call DISH Network at

1-800-333-DISH (3474) to authorize your receiver (page 8), preferably from your residence or any

location where you will have good phone reception.

CONNECT YOUR RECEIVER TO YOUR TV

1. Connect your receiver to your TV using the best connection type supported by your TV.

(See your TV owner’s manual for its connection options.)

CONNECT RECEIVER TO TV

*Your receiver can also use the standard definition “TV SET OUT” and “S-VIDEO” ports to view video. See your receiver’s User’s

Guide for more information.

Make sure to install the batteries in the receiver’s remote control (included with

remote control).

The Tailgater requires an unobstructed view of the southern sky for signal reception. Be sure to

place the Tailgater in a location free from obstructions such as trees, buildings, etc. (See page 3.)

HAND-TIGHTEN COAX CONNECTIONS. OVER-TIGHTENING CAN DAMAGE CONNECTIONS.

1. Connect one end of the supplied RG-6 coax cable to the coax port on the Tailgater.

It is recommended you use only the supplied RG-6 coax cable. (The Tailgater draws

operating power from your receiver through the coax cable.)

2. Connect the other end of the supplied coax cable to the SATELLITE IN port on your receiver.

TAILGATER OPERATION

• Do not put the Tailgater where it can be bumped into, knocked over or struck by a person

or vehicle. Do not put the Tailgater near any heat sources.

• Do not run the coax cable where it can be tripped on or run over by a vehicle.

• Do not over-tighten the coax cable connections.

• Do not put sharp bends or kinks in the coax cable.

3. Plug your receiver into a 110 volt AC power source.

The green power light on your receiver should illuminate or begin cycling on and off.

Wait for the green light to turn solid. This may take up to two minutes.

If it does not turn solid, power on your receiver using the front panel POWER button.

Press SELECT on your remote.

4. Plug in and turn on your TV.

In your TV’s input selection menu, choose the input that matches the connection from your

receiver (example: if using an HDMI cable from your receiver, choose the HDMI input on your

TV). See your TV owner’s manual for details.

The Portable Antenna Setup screen will display. (It may take up to two minutes to display.)

Note: If the Portable Antenna Setup screen does not display, press MENU, 6, 1, 1 on your

remote. Highlight the “Check Switch” Button then press SELECT on your remote.

IN STEPS 5-9, DO NOT STAND OR WALK IN FRONT OF THE SIDE OF THE

TAILGATER FACING THE SOUTHERN SKY.

6. Highlight the state you are currently in

from the state menu.

Press SELECT.

7. Verify “Scan” is highlighted.

Press SELECT.

The scan will begin and may take up to

several minutes to complete.

This screen will display during the scan.

OPERATING NOTES:

When in the northeastern United States, television programming from the 129 satellite may not be

available (see page 3).

If your system is inactive for an extended period of time, you may have to call DISH Network

Customer Service to re-authorize your receiver.

8. When the scan is complete, the

“Acquiring Signal” message will display.

Acquiring the signal may take up to 5

minutes to complete.

9. After your receiver has acquired the signal,

the electronic program guide will download.

This may take up to 5 minutes to complete

(potentially longer if an external hard drive

is connected).

When using your receiver for the first time the 129 error message will appear.

Call DISH Network at 1-800-333-DISH (3474) to authorize your receiver.

If your receiver has not been used for awhile the 013 error message will appear.

Call 1-800-333-DISH (3474) and follow the prompts to automatically re-authorize

your receiver. Note that if channel 101 appears, scroll channel up or down to

make sure 013 error message does not appear.

You can view your programming when your receiver has been authorized and the

guide has finished downloading.

IF YOU MOVE THE TAILGATER, YOU WILL HAVE TO REPEAT STEPS 5-9 TO

RE-ACQUIRE THE SATELLITES AND RESTORE PROGRAMMING.

The Tailgater can be secured to an object using a padlock and cable (not included) to prevent theft.

SECURITY

PROPER CARE OF YOUR EQUIPMENT

1. Always handle the Tailgater product carefully. Do not drop the Tailgater. Avoid excessive

shock or vibration to the Tailgater.

2. Use caution when carrying the Tailgater. Always carry the Tailgater by the handle.

3. Do not remove the cover of the Tailgater. Doing so is not recommended by the manufacturer

and will void the Limited Warranty.

4. Do not stack the Tailgater on top of or below other electronic devices as this can cause heat

build-up or block the satellite signal from reaching the Tailgater.

5. Never power wash the Tailgater. Keep the enclosure clean from dirt, bugs, and other debris

by hand washing with mild soap and water.

The Tailgater has been designed to be maintenance and trouble free. If not using the Tailgater for

long periods of time, it is recommended that you set up the system on a quarterly basis (every three

months) to keep all moving parts of the Tailgater in good working order.

If you have any comments or questions, please contact DISH Network at 1-800-333-DISH (3474),
