2 CONNECT TO A DISH
To receive Freesat, you must
connect your Freesat box to an
appropriate satellite dish.
For safety reasons and to
provide reliable reception,
we strongly recommend
that the satellite dish is
professionally installed. If you
have any questions about the
satellite dish, please consult
your installer.
Place your Freesat box on a firm, level surface close to your TV, a mains electricity socket, and the cables from the satellite dish.
1. Connect the cables from your satellite dish to the sockets on the back of the Freesat box. For full functionality of your Freesat box you will
need to connect two cables from your satellite dish. If you only have one cable, please consult your retailer or installer for advice.
Slide the battery
compartment cover from
the back of the remote
control. Insert the two
AAA sized batteries as
shown on the inside of the
compartment. Replace the
compartment cover.
