If the same button is pressed and held for 30-

automatically. This extends the battery life should
the remote become lodged under or between heavy
objects, for example sofa cushions.
3. Installing. Replacing Batteries
Install two (2) new “AA” batteries as indicated by the
diagram in the battery compartment.
When the batteries become low and need to be
replaced, the [SAT], [TV], [DVD], [AUDIO], [AUX]
buttons will not illuminate normally or at all during use.
When this happens, replace the existing batteries with
two (2) new “AA” batteries to restore normal operation
to the remote control.
4. If You Have More Than One Satellite Receiver
Your remote control is set at the factory to control all
of the functions on your Motorola satellite receiver.
However, if you have more than one satellite receiver,
you may want to prevent the remote control in one
room from affecting the satellite receiver in another
room. To prevent this kind of interference, you must
"pair" each remote control with each receiver by
assigning a new "address" to each combination. This
“address” assignment is made using your remote
control as follows:
1. Press the [SAT] button to select the remote
control’s SAT mode.
2. Press the [Options] button to display the Options
screen on your TV.
