Chapter 8 132 Troubleshooting Questions About the DVR's Phone Calls How long does the daily call to the DVR service take? • It is typically a short call, less than three minutes. When the software is being updated, it may take longer, but this happens rarely (a few times a year). My DVR is not making the daily call to the DVR service. • If you use a wireless phone, retry the call using a phone which is connected to a standard wall jack. • Verify that your phone line is working by connecting a phone to the phone cord and checking for a dial tone. Make sure the phone cord is connected to the DVR and the wall jack. • Try another local dial-in number from the Phone Dialing Options screen. To get to Phone Dialing Options, from DIRECTV Central, select "Messages & Setup," then "Recorder & Phone Setup," then "Phone Connection," then "Change Dialing Options." • You may need to change your Phone Dialing Options from the default. After making changes, make a test call. (Choose Make Test Call from the Phone Connection screen.) If the test call succeeds, choose "Make Daily Call Now." • If you have voice mail or use another non-standard dial tone, go to "Messages & Setup," then "Recorder & Phone Setup," then "Phone Connection," then "Change Dialing Options." Turn off "Dial Tone Detection."

Questions About the DVR’s
Phone Calls
How long does the daily call to the DVR service take?
It is typically a short call, less than three minutes. When the software is being updated,
it may take longer, but this happens rarely (a few times a year).
My DVR is not making the daily call to the DVR service.
If you use a wireless phone, retry the call using a phone which is connected to a
standard wall jack.
Verify that your phone line is working by connecting a phone to the phone cord and
checking for a dial tone. Make sure the phone cord is connected to the DVR and the
wall jack.
Try another local dial-in number from the Phone Dialing Options screen. To get to
Phone Dialing Options, from DIRECTV Central, select “Messages & Setup,” then
“Recorder & Phone Setup,” then “Phone Connection,” then “Change Dialing
Options.”
You may need to change your Phone Dialing Options from the default. After making
changes, make a test call. (Choose Make Test Call from the Phone Connection screen.)
If the test call succeeds, choose “Make Daily Call Now.”
If you have voice mail or use another non-standard dial tone, go to “Messages &
Setup,” then “Recorder & Phone Setup,” then “Phone Connection,” then “Change
Dialing Options.” Turn off “Dial Tone Detection.”
