GUIDE
Make sure the device you are trying to control has been programmed to your DIRECTV Remote Control. See Chapter 6,
“Settings & Help:Settings:Remote Control” for instructions on how to program your remote to control other devices.
If the indicator lights on the remote control start flashing, the batteries in the remote control are running low and should be
replaced soon. You may also see an onscreen message that the batteries are low. Note that when you replace the batteries,
you should not have to reprogram your remote to control other devices unless the batteries have been completely dead for a
month or more.
