APPLY RUBBER FEET TO ANTENNA UNIT
ABOUT SIGNAL LOSS
OBSTRUCTIONS
The DISH Tailgater Pro requires an unobstructed view of the southern sky for the best signal
reception.
Be sure to place the DISH Tailgater Pro 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. Point the handle approximately north to speed up scan time.
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.
DO NOT BLOCK THE DISH TAILGATER PRO’S LINE OF SIGHT
TO THE SATELLITES IN THE SOUTHERN SKY AT ANY TIME!
PLACE DISH TAILGATER PRO ON A REASONABLY LEVEL SURFACE.
IMPORTANT!
If you move the antenna unit any
time during or after a scan, you will
have to repeat the scan process.
IMPORTANT!
Do not apply rubber feet if roof mounting the antenna unit.

Back of Wally Receiver
Satellite television uses satellites in a geostationary 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 DISH Tailgater Pro 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 DISH Tailgater Pro will automatically nd 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 difculty viewing programming from the 129 satellite while in this area. (Programming
from the 110 and 119 satellites should still be available.)

OPERATING NOTES:
If you move the DISH Tailgater Pro while in use, or get a screen indicating complete signal loss, you
will have to perform a new scan to restore programming by going to the Mobile Antenna Setup screen
as follows:
Press the HOME button to return to the home page. Choose “Settings” and then “Diagnostics.”
Choose “Dish 3” and then “Test Installation 5.” This will take you back to the Mobile Antenna Setup
screen. Initiate a new scan.
When in the northeastern United States, television programming from the 129 satellite may not be
available (see page 4).
If your system is inactive for an extended period of time, you may have to call DISH Customer Service
at 1-800-333-DISH (3474) to reauthorize your receiver.
If your receiver has not been used for a while the 013 error message may appear.
Call 1-800-333-DISH (3474) and follow the prompts to reauthorize 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 nished downloading.

SECOND RECEIVER OPERATION
INITIAL SETUP FOR SECOND RECEIVER
1. Make sure your second receiver has been properly set up and activated (while connected to the
MAIN port) as described in the New and Unactivated Receiver Section (page 6).
2. Connect your properly activated main
receiver to the MAIN port. Run a scan to
lock onto the satellites.
3. Connect the second receiver to the
AUX port.
4. Run a check switch test on second receiver.
When test is complete, save the results.
Antenna must be locked
on with main receiver
connected to MAIN port.
DOWNLOADING PROGRAMMING TO THE SECOND RECEIVER
5. After completing the check switch test, reset the second receiver by pressing the POWER button
on the front panel for 10 seconds. The receiver will reboot and go into sleep mode (green light
on front panel will be off). Press Select to wake it up.
The receiver will then download the program guide to show only the channels available on the
current satellite as determined by the channel selected on the main receiver. Downloading the
new program guide can take up to ve minutes to complete.
The channels available on the second receiver are determined by the channel/satellite selected on
the main receiver. For example, if you select a channel on the main receiver that is broadcast from
the 119 satellite, then the second receiver will be able to view any channel broadcast from the 119
satellite.
If you switch channels on the main receiver to one that is broadcast from a different satellite, (for
example, your channel was broadcast from satellite 119 but your new channel is broadcast from the
110), the antenna will automatically switch to the 110 satellite and programming will be lost on the
second receiver until you either:
• Select a channel on the main receiver that is broadcast from the previous satellite (satellite 119
in this example).
(or)
• Reset the second receiver by running another check switch test to download the program guide
for the newly selected satellite (satellite 110 in this example).
NOTE: If you choose a channel on the main TV that causes the antenna to switch satellites, you may have to run a
check switch on the second receiver.
IMPORTANT! If your second receiver is new and unactivated, you must rst connect it to the MAIN port and do
an initial setup as described in the New and Unactivated Receiver Section starting on page 6.
