REMOTE CONTROL BASICS

This remote control 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.

MODELS SUPPORTED BY THIS GUIDE

This user’s guide supports the following remote control models as
shown on the label on the back of the remote:

• 3.0/3.1/3.2 - Infrared (IR) only. For use with appropriate

IR-controlled DISH Network receivers.

• 4.0 - Infrared/Ultra-High Frequency Pro (IR/UHF Pro). For use

with appropriate UHF Pro-controlled DISH Network receivers.
The 4.0 remote can be converted to one of three different remote
types used on a DISH 322 receiver:

With the blue 2 UHF Pro key installed, this remote
will operate the UHF Pro side of the DISH 322
receiver. The remote comes with this key already
installed.

With the green 1 key installed (no UHF Pro
marking), this remote will operate the IR side
of the DISH 322 receiver. This remote will look
and work exactly like a 3.0 IR remote. See
instructions in Converting the 4.0 Remote.

With the green 1 UHF Pro key installed, this

1

remote will operate the side of the DISH 322
receiver from a distance using UHF Pro. See
instructions in Converting the 4.0 Remote.

If you set up your DISH 322 to operate the side
using UHF Pro, the two UHF Pro remotes for this
receiver will interfere with each other when operated at
the same time. This may prevent the remotes from
operating the receiver momentarily.

2

INSTALLING BATTERIES

The remote control requires 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, and don’t mix batteries of
different kinds. Alkaline batteries last longer.

1. Press down on the battery cover and slide the cover off.

2. If you are replacing batteries, 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.

UHF AND IR SIGNALS

The remote control may use either UHF radio signals or IR light
signals to control the receiver but uses only IR signals to control other
devices.

• IR signals travel only short distances (up to 40 feet),

and cannot go through walls or other solid objects.
You must point the remote control right at the device
you want to control, with no objects to block the signal path.

• UHF signals travel long distances (up to 200 feet) and can

go through walls and other solid objects. Because UHF signals
travel so far, the receiver may respond to signals from other
nearby remote controls. To handle this problem, you may want to
change the remote and receiver addresses. See Setting Up to
Control the Satellite Receiver on page 5.

• Confirm that the UHF remote antenna is attached to the receiver’s
back panel UHF REMOTE ANTENNA input so you can use
your UHF Pro remote.

3

CONVERTING THE 4.0 REMOTE CONTROL

By replacing the key at the bottom of the 4.0 remote, this remote can be
converted to look and work like a 3.0 IR or to operate like a second
UHF Pro remote to control the side of the DISH 322 receiver. The
instructions below show you how to replace this key. After replacing
the key, follow the instructions in Setting Up to Control the Satellite
Receiver.

Note: If you do not need to replace the key, you do not need to
complete the instructions below. Go to Setting Up to Control the
Satellite Receiver.

1. Slide the battery cover off.

2. Insert your thumbnail in the seam between the remote control and the blue key to separate the key.

3. Grasp the key at the bottom and pull down firmly to remove.

4. If you are converting the remote
to look and work like a 3.0 IR
remote, then turn the removed
key over with the green 1 side
up (this key should not have a
UHF Pro marking). Reinstall
the key with the green side
showing. Make sure the key
snaps in place.

Note: Key

UHF

has no
Pro marking.

4

5. If you are converting the remote to operate like a second UHF Pro remote to control the side of the DISH 322 receiver, then get the green 1 UHF Pro key provided separately. Install this key in the remote with the UHF Pro marking showing.

Note: Key has the
UHF Pro marking.

If you set up your DISH 322 to operate the
side using UHF Pro, the two UHF Pro remotes
for this receiver will interfere with each other
when operated at the same time. This may
prevent the remotes from operating the receiver
momentarily.

6. If you have not already installed batteries, install them now. See Installing Batteries for further details.

7. Slide the battery cover back into place.

SETTING UP TO CONTROL THE SATELLITE
R

ECEIVER

The remote and the receiver must be set up on the same address
so that the remote can control the receiver. When you get the remote,
it's already set up to control the receiver on address 1. However, your
receiver may be set to a different address or, in the case of the
DISH 322, may need some additional setup. To set up the remote
and receiver to work together on the same address, use the following
instructions.

5

1. For DISH 322 receivers only: If you are using a 4.0 Remote

control with the green 1 UHF Pro key installed, perform the
steps a. through e. below. If not, then go to step 2.

a. Open the TV1 UHF Pro Setup screen by pressing

MENU-6-1-8 on the remote control.

b. Select Enable from the TV1 UHF Pro Setup screen.
c. Press the SYS INFO button to open the System

Information screen.

Address as shown below. This is important - if you do not
do this, your remote will change the receiver's Secondary
Remote Address and cause your Remote Control 1 to
control the side of your receiver.

Note: Highlight
the Primary

Remote
Address if you

are using a 4.0
remote with a
green 1 UHF Pro
key.

Do not do this step if you are using 4.0
Remote with blue 2 key. This will cause your
Remote Control 2 to control side of your
receiver.

e. Go to step 3 below.

2. Open the System Information screen. Consult your receiver

user's guide for instructions on how to open this screen without
using the remote control. The System Information screen

each digit, and then lights up again.
Write down the number you entered:

6

5. Press the POUND (#) button. If you entered the address correctly, the SAT mode button will flash three times.

6. Press the RECORD button. If you are using the 4.0 remote with the green 1 key (no UHF Pro marking), point the remote control at the receiver when you press the RECORD button.

7. Make sure the System Information screen shows the correct remote address as follows:

• If only one Remote Address is shown, make sure this

address matches the number you entered in step 4.

• If you are using 4.0 remote with the green 1 UHF Pro key,

make sure that the Primary Remote Address shows
UHF Pro and IR and that this address matches the number
you entered in step 4.

• If you are using 4.0 remote with the green 1 key (with no

UHF Pro marking), make sure that the Primary Remote
Address shows IR and that this address matches the
number you entered in step 4.

• If you are using 4.0 remote with the blue 2 UHF Pro key,

make sure that the Secondary Remote Address matches
the number you entered in step 4.

8. Close the System Information screen. On most receivers, this is done by selecting the Done button. See your receiver user's guide for more information.

CHECKING THE REMOTE ADDRESS

To read out the remote control address setting:

1. Press and hold the SAT mode button for three seconds until all mode buttons light. Then, let go.

2. Press the POUND (#) button twice while watching the SAT mode button.

3. Count the number of times the SAT mode button flashes. This number is the remote address. For example, if the SAT mode button flashes 6 times, this indicates the remote address is set to 6.
