INTRODUCTION

The IR-to-UHF Pro Upgrade Kit lets you use an ultra-high frequency
(UHF) remote to control an infrared (IR) DISH Network satellite TV
receiver from much farther away than with an IR remote control, even
through walls that block IR signals.

Note: The remote control/converter combination included in this kit

works only with compatible DIS H Network receivers, and is not for
any other devices. Compatible DISH Network receivers include all
models except Model 7100/7200 (DISHPlayer), Model HM­DSR100RU (JVC-DVHS), Model 2000, Model 4000, and Model

5000. The UHF Pro remote can control other devices (a TV, for

example) at short distances because it sends IR signals to such devices.
After you set up the kit, when you press any button on the UHF Pro

remote control, the remote control sends a UHF signal to the converter.

Figure 1. UHF Pro Remote Control sends signals to the Converter

Because the UHF signal can go through walls and other objects on its
way to the converter, you can use the UHF Pro remote control in any
room.

Figure 2. UHF Pro signals go through walls and other objects

3

Pyramid.book Page 4 Wednesday, February 16, 2005 4:00 PM

The converter gets the UHF signal, changes it to IR, and sends the IR
signal to the receiver. The best way to get the IR signal to the receiver
is with the IR extender cable because the signal doesn’t have to go
through the air, but you can also use just the converter to send the
signal to the receiver (see the example in Figure 3).

Figure 3. The Converter changes the UHF Pro

signals to IR to control the receiver

The remote control that comes with the kit gives you easy access to all
the features of a DISH Network satellite TV receiver. You can set up
the remote to control the satellite TV receiver and up to three other
devices. These devices can be a TV, a VCR or DVD player, and a third
device. To control these devices, they must be in the same room as the
remote control.

Note: This remote control may have more features than what your

satellite receiver supports. See your receiver user’s guide for
information.

The remote control included with this kit uses only UHF radio signals
to control the satellite receiver but uses IR to control other device s.

• UHF signals usually travel long distances (200 feet in open air)

and can go through walls and other solid objects. You don’t have
to point a UHF Pro remote control toward the receiver, because
UHF signals spread out in all directions.

• IR signals usually travel only short distances (40 feet or less), and

can’t go through walls or other solid objects. You must point an IR
remote control toward the device, because IR signals travel in
straight lines. There can’t be any objects that block the signal path.

in front of the receiver’s front panel IR sensor. The sensor may be
in an egg-shaped dimple in the front panel, or behind a lens (the IR
signal goes through the panel lens).

Note: The IR extender cable is the best way to get the IR signal

from the converter to the receiver because the signal doesn’t have
to go through the air.

TROUBLESHOOTING THE KIT

What’s Happening What’s Wrong What You Can Do

The kit doesn’t work
well. That is, when you
press a remote control
button, either nothing
happens or the action
you want is repeated.
Or, the red light flashes
or flickers (maybe ve ry
dimly) inside the
converter, even though
you don’t press any
remote button.

The UHF Pro remote
doesn’t control the
satellite receiver in the
same room, or does so
only some of the time,
but does control the
receiver from other
rooms.

The converter may
be picking up stray
UHF signals from
other devices nearby.

The receiver may be
picking up stray IR
signals from other
devices nearby.

Note: When the converter picks
up stray UHF signals, even when
you don’t press a remote button,
its red light comes on. You may
need to turn off the room lights to
be able to see when this happens.
Note: To find out which device
sends out the UHF signals that the
converter picks up, unplug one
device at a time and note when the
converter’s red light stays off.

• Move the remote back to at

least three feet from the
converter, so the converter
doesn’t pick up stray UHF
signals from the remote itself.

• Move the converter’s antenna

around, or put it down part
way so it doesn’t pick up stray
UHF signals.

• Move the converter around to

find a place where it doesn’t
pick up stray UHF signals.

• Re-route the converter’s

power cord, so the converter
doesn’t pick up stray UHF
signals through its own cord.

• Move the other devices so the

converter doesn’t pick up their
UHF signals.

• Make sure the front of the

converter, with the DISH
Network symbol, points
toward the receiver’s front
panel.

• Move the converter closer to

the receiver, and make sure the
converter has a clear signal
path to the receiver.

• If you don’t use an IR

extender, try using one. If you
do use an IR extender, make
sure the extender’s IR head
is in the correct place. See
page 5.

Pyramid.book Page 43 Wednesday, February 16, 2005 4:00 PM

What’s Happening What’s Wrong What You Can Do

When you press a
button on the remote
control, the red light
flashes inside the
converter (but doesn’t
stay on) and the
receiver doesn’t do
what you expect.

When you press a
button on the remote
control, the red light
inside the converter
doesn’t flash and the
receiver doesn’t do
what you expect.

Devices outside the
system show UHF
interference.

• The converter

may not be facing
the satellite
receiver’s front
panel.

• If you use an

IR extender,
maybe you didn’t
connect the
extender the
correct way.

• The converter

may be picking
up UHF signals
from a neighbor’s
remote control,
which may block
signals from your
remote control.

• The converter

may be picking
up UHF signals
from a neighbor’s
remote control,
which may be
controlling your
receiver.

The converter may
not be receiving the
remote control
signals.

The UHF Pro remote
control uses UHF
signals to control
the receiver. These
signals or stray UHF
signals from the
converter may cause
the interference.

• Make sure the front side of the

converter, with the DISH
Network symbol, points
toward the receiver’s front
panel, so the receiver’s IR
sensor can get the signals.

• If you don’t use an IR

extender, try using one. If you
do use an IR extender, make
sure the extender’s IR head is
in the correct place.

• UHF signal blocks shouldn’t

happen very often or for very
long. Press the remote control
button again.

• Change the address of your

remote control and receiver.
See page 9.

• Make sure you plug in the

converter’s power cord.

• Make sure the UHF Pro

remote control is working
(check and maybe replace the
batteries).

• Try to use the remote control

closer to the converter. Move
the converter’s UHF antenna
around for better reception.

• If you have put the converter

inside an enclosure, put it
outside the enclosure.

• Make sure the remote and

converter are set to the same
key setting.

Stop using the UHF Pro remote
for a while, to see if this stops the
interference. If the remote control
causes the interference, you’ll
have to avoid using it whenever
you don’t want interference with
other devices that use UHF.

What’s Happening What’s Wrong What You Can Do

The receiver does
things even though you
don’t press any remote
control buttons.

Your UHF Pro remote
control does not work
well from far away

• The converter

may be picking
up UHF signals
from a neighbor’s
remote control or
from another
UHF Pro remote
control in the
residence, which
may be
controlling your
receiver.

• The receiver may

be picking up
stray IR signals
from another
DISH Network
remote control
being used
nearby.

You may be
experiencing
interference from
objects near your
converter’s antenna.

• Change the address of your

remote control and receiver.
See page 9.

• Make sure the UHF antenna is

connected to the converter and
not touching anything else.

• Vary the tilt angle of the

converter's UHF antenna.
Locate the UHF antenna tip
away from other electronics
equipment or metal surfaces,
even if separated by wooden
shelving.

• Move the converter to

different locations. For best
results, place the converter as
high as possible, above all
other equipment in your
entertainment center.

• Move any nearby off-air

antennas away from the UHF
remote antenna. Do not place
an off-air antenna on your
converter.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights which may vary from state to state.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitations of incidental or
consequential damages, or allow limitations on the duration of an implied
warranty, so those limitations may not apply to you.

ADVANCE EXCHANGE PROGRAM

The Advance Exchange Program allows you to have replacement equipment
shipped immediately to you (depending upon where you live, it could take th ree
to five business days). Along with replacement equipment, you will receive a
prepaid shipping label and instructions on how to return the defective
equipment.

The shipping charge, for receiving replacement equipment and returning the
defective equipment, is a one time fee based on EchoStar’s competitive bulk
shipping rates (additional charges may apply outside of the continental US).
This fee will be charged to your billing account or your valid credit card.

If you do not ship the defective equipment to EchoStar within ten days after
receiving the replacement, your billing account or credit card will be charged
the market price of the replacement. If you return the defective equipment after
ten days, you will receive a full refund less an administrative fee.

If your equipment is out of warranty and can be repaired your billing account or
credit card will be charged the standard repair fee for the replacement.
If damage to the defective equipment is found, which EchoStar in its sole
discretion determines has voided the warranty, or makes the equipment
unrepairable, your billing account or credit card will be charged the market
price of the replacement.

POST RECEIPT EXCHANGE PROGRAM

You may choose to ship the equipment to us at your cost. To provide faster
service, upon receipt of your equipment you will be shipped a replacement.
Your original equipment will not be available for return.

The equipment you return will be checked to verify whether it is covered under
this warranty. If the defective equipment is covered under this warranty, it will
be replaced and shipped back to you at no additional cost (additional charges
may apply outside of the continental US).

If your equipment is out of warranty and can be repaired your billing account or
credit card will be charged the standard repair fee for the replacement.
If damage to the defective equipment is found, which EchoStar in its sole
discretion determines has voided the warranty, or makes the equipment
unrepairable, your billing account or credit card will be charged the market
price of the replacement.
