Remote Control

ONTROL
The remote control gives you easy access to all the features of your satellite receiver. You
can program the remote to control the satellite receiver and up to three other devices (see
page 54). These devices can be a TV, a VCR or DVD/BD player, and a third device.
The remote control uses IR signals to control both the receiver and other devices that the
remote is programmed to control.
IR signals travel only short distances (40 feet or less), and cannot go through walls or
other solid objects. You must point the remote control directly at the device, with no
objects blocking the line of sight.
Remote Control Batteries
The remote control comes with four AAA batteries. When you replace old
batteries you should replace all of the batteries at one time and use
batteries of the same type (for example, all alkaline or all carbon zinc).
Alkaline batteries last longer.
1

2

3
Put four new batteries in. Make sure you match the plus (“+”) ends with the
plus markings on the battery case.
Note : The remote control cannot work with less than four AAA batteries.
4
Slide the cover back into place.
Low Battery Warning
When you see a low battery warning message on your screen below the Program Banner,
the batteries in your remote control are weak and need to be replaced.
Here's a helpful hint: Don’t wait until you see the low battery warning to change the remote
control batteries. If your remote control doesn’t seem to be working very well
(for example, you have to press POWER more than once to turn the receiver on or off),
it’s a good indication that the batteries are getting weak.
