This is because the other options mention specific requirements for installing a Targetcast Tuner, such as ensuring that the power plug reaches an outlet, the black IR reaches the front edge of the TV, and the input and output connections are properly connected. However, there is no mention of the Tuner needing to be connected to the store's fax machine, making it the odd one out and not a key focal point of the installation process.
