ONTROL
The remote control gives you access to all the features of your satellite receiver. You can
set up the remote control to operate the satellite receiver and up to three other devices
(see page 66). These devices can be a TV, a VCR or DVD player, and a third device.
The remote control uses Ultra-High Frequency (UHF Pro) signals which travel long
distances and go through walls and other solid objects. Be sure to connect the remote
control antenna to the R
EMOTE A NTENNA port on the receiver’s back panel.
Batteries
The remote control comes with AAA batteries. When you replace old
batteries, you should replace all of the batteries. Use batteries of the same
kind, for example, alkaline or carbon zinc. Don’t mix batteries of different
kinds. Alkaline batteries last longer. To change the batteries:
1
Press down on the top of the battery cover and slide the cover off.
2
Take out all of the old batteries.
3
Put the new batteries in. Make sure you match the plus (“+”) ends with the
plus markings on the battery case.
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.
Attach the Remote Control Antenna
Attach the UHF remote control antenna to the
receiver's back panel R
EMOTE A NTENNA input so you
can use your UHF Pro Remote Control. Without the
remote control antenna, you cannot use the remote
to operate the receiver. See Adjusting the Remote
Antenna on page 64 for more detailed information
about improving the performance of your UHF Pro
remote control.
