PREFACE
INTRODUCTION
The EchoStar User Interface is a family of user interfaces which are dedicated for a specific
range of satellite receivers. Every satellite receiver is equipped with different options. Some
options are related to the EchoStar User Interface, others are related to physical options as
Common Interface slots, Embedded reader, display or not, etc.
Please note that this user manual contains the information for the most comprehensive
model. Sometimes you find that an option is not available on your receiver which means that
you can ignore the related descriptions and instructions. Please refer to the specifications of
your receiver to find the available options that are present in your model.
DOCUMENTATION
This user manual is part of the documentation set that comes with your EchoStar satellite
receiver. The documentation set contains the user manuals:
■ User Manual - Receiver Description;
■ User Manual - EchoStar User Interface - Fixed.
Sometimes you can also find a Manual update which describes the last minute changes to
either the receiver itself or the EchoStar User Interface which are not described in the user
manuals that come with your EchoStar satellite receiver.
INTENDED USE
The receiver is intended to be installed for private domestic use. This receiver has not been
designed for other types of usage (including but not limited to commercial or head-end
installations), therefore EchoStar International Corporation makes no warranties with respect
to product performance or reliability in such installations.
This documentation set is intended for anyone who uses an EchoStar satellite receiver. It can
be used by both first-time and experienced users of satellite receivers who want to install, use
and maintain their receiver.
This user manual gives an explanation and an instruction on the use of the EchoStar user
interface and is divided into separate sections and chapters. For easy access to the
information, a clear table of content and an index are provided.
LIMITED WARRANTY
If your receiver has conditional access capabilities:
For pay-services, please only use Common Interface (CI) modules and the related Smartcard
which are approved by the service provider of the encrypted program you want to receive.
Only this will enable the receiver to work properly.
Anomalies can occur when an unapproved CI-module and/or Smartcard is used. EchoStar
can not and will not accept any responsibility for the performance of such CI-modules and/or
smartcards. If you use an unapproved CI-module and/or Smartcard, EchoStar is no longer
able to provide any assistance or support. Use of an unapproved CI-module and/or
Smartcard will void any warranty claim. If you have any doubt which CI-modules are
approved, please ask your service provider for assistance.
