REMOTE CONTROL BASICS

This remote control gives you easy access to all the features
of a DISH Network satellite TV receiver and lets you control PVR
features of a DISH Network DishPVR satellite receiver. These PVR
features let you record programming with full digital quality,
without a VCR.
You can set up the remote to control the satellite TV receiver and up to
threeother devices. These devicescan be a TV, a VCR or DVD player,
and a third device.

REMOTE CONTROL BATTERIES

The remote control requires AAA batteries.
When you replace old batteries, you should
replace all of the batteries. Use batteries of
thesamekind,for example, alkaline or
carbon zinc, and don’t mix batteries of
different ki nds. Alkaline batteries last longer.

1. Press down on the battery cover’s

top latch and lift the cover off.

2. T ake out all of the old batteries.

3. Put the new batteries in. Make sure

you match the pl us (“+”) ends with the
plus markings on the battery case.

4. Fit the battery cover’s bottom tab

back into the slot at the bottom of the
battery case, and snap the cover back
into place.

2 121716

REMOTE CONTROL SIGNALS: UHF AND IR

Theremotecontrolusesboth Ultra High Frequency (UHF) radio
signals and Infrared (IR) light signals to control the receiver
but uses onl y IR signals to control other devices.

• IR signal s travel only short distances (40 feet or less),

and can’t 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 (100 feet or more) and can

go through walls and other solid objects. Because UHF signals
travel so far, the receiver may respond to signals from ot her
nearby remote controls. To handle this problem, see Change t he
Address on page 9. If this doesn’t work, see Install an Attenuator
on page 4.

• You need to attach the UHF remote antenna to the receiver’s
back panel UHF REMOTE ANTENNA input so you can use the
UHF capabilities of the remote (as shown in the diagram below).

Note: Set the antennastraight up so you can use the remote
from as far away as possible.Don’t let the antenna touch
anything.

Note: If you don’tattach the antenna,you can still use theremote
to control the receiver at short distances. This is because
the remote sends both IR and UHF signals to the receiver.

121716 3

INSTALL AN ATTENUATOR

Stray UHF signals can block signals from the remote control
to the receiver. To prevent blocks, you can install a 10 dB attenuator
(you can buy one from a consumer electronics parts s tore).

Note: This will help keep out stray UHF signals, but also cut down
how far away you can use the remote control.

1. Take the UHF antenna off
of the receiver’s back panel

UHF REMOTE ANTENNA

input.

2. Put a 10 dB attenuatoronto the

UHF REMOTE ANTENNA

input.

3. Put the U HF antenna onto the
attenuator.

4 121716

REMOTE CONTROL MODES

REGULAR MODES

You can set the remote to four different modes to control the receiver
or other devices.

TROUBLESHOOT THE REMOTE CONTROL

What’s

Happening

While you do
a remote
procedure,the
remotecontrol
“times out.”

When you
press the
remotecontrol
Power button
to turn the
receiver on,
the receiver’s
front panel
Power light
doesn’t turn
on.

What’s Wrong What You Can Do

• Ifyou don’tpress
any button
for 20 seconds in
a programming
sequence,
the remote
“times out.”

• If you hold a
button longer
than two
minutes, the
remote control
stops
transmitting to
save battery life.

• Maybe the
batteries are
weak or dead.

• Maybe you didn’t
plug the receiver
power cord intoa
poweroutlet, or
maybe there’s a
problem with the
power.

• Maybe the
remote isn’t in
SAT mode.

• Maybe the
remote and the
receiver have
different
addresses.

Start over again.

• Replace the remote batteries with
fresh ones.

• Make sure the receiver power cord
is plugged into a power outlet.

• Press SAT to set theremoteto SAT
mode to control the receiver.

• Make sure the remote and the
receiver have the same address.
See Change the Address on
page 9.

What’s

Happening

What’s Wrong What You Can Do

When you
press a button
on the remote
control, the
devicedoesn’t
do what you
expect.

• Maybe you’re
trying to controla
device and
you’re not
pointing the
remote control
rightatit.

• Maybe the
remotecontrolis
missing
batteries, maybe
you put the
batteries in the
remote the
wrong way, or
maybe the
batteries are
weak or dead.

• Maybe you didn’t
settheremote to
the mode for the
device you want
to control.

• Maybe you didn’t
setuptheremote
to control the
device.

• UHFsignalsfrom
a neighbor’s
remote may be
blocking signals
from your
remote.

• Remember,theremotecontroluses
IR signals to control all devices
except for the receiver (when using
the UHF antenna). IR signals travel
only 40 feet or less, and can’t go
through walls or other solid objects.
You must point the remote control
right at the device, with no objectsto
block the signal path.

• If the batteries are missing or dead,
put in fresh AAA-size batteries. If
the remote has fresh batteries,
check whether you put them in the
right way. If you didn’t, take them
out andput them inas described on
page 2.

• Press the correctmodebuttonto set
the remote to the mode for the
device you want
to control.

• Make sure you set up the remote
to control all the devices you want
to use. See Remote Control Setup
on page 6.

• Put a UHF attenuator on the
receiver’s UHF Remote Antenna
input. This will help keep stray
signals from blocking your remote’s
signals, but also cut down how far
away you can use the remote.
Change your receiver’s address
(see Change the Address on
page 9).

When you
press the
remotecontrol
Mute or
Volum e
button,
nothing
happens.

not set up the
remote control.

• Maybe you’re
trying to control

you set up the
remote
to control a tuner
or amplifier in
AUX mode.

• Maybe you’re
trying to control
tuner or amplifier
volume but you
setuptheremote
to control a TV
in AUX mode.

•SeeRemote Control Setup on
page 6.

• Set up the remote to control either
TV volume or tuner/amplifier
volume, whichever you want.

shippedimmediately to you (dependingupon where you live,it could t ake three
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 isout 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.
