DIRECTV GENIE™ REMOTE CONTROL (RC71 & ABOVE)
Introducing the DIRECTV Genie
The DIRECTV Genie Remote Control (Model series RC71 and above) with
Radio Frequency (RF) technology offers improved functionality and a host
of convenient benefits. While the Genie Remote comes factory-set to Infra
Red (IR) Mode, so it works with your earlier model Receivers. You can easily
change the settings on your DIRECTV Genie HR44 Receiver, your Genie Mini
(C41 only) and Genie Wireless Mini (C41W and above) to take advantage of the
many benefits of RF like:
Improved command speed
Extended battery life (up to a year)
Reduced interference
No more "line-of-sight" operation which required that you point the
Remote directly at the Receiver or client. It even works through
cabinet doors.
During the programming process, the Genie Remote becomes paired with
the DIRECTV Receiver you want it to work with. However, you can easily pair
it with a different DIRECTV Receiver, Genie Mini or other DIRECTV
client anytime.
See next page for RF Mode and programming instructions; for the complete
button layout of the Genie Remote, go to the back cover of this manual.
NOTE: If you have upgraded to the latest DIRECTV Genie Receiver (HR44
and above) and Mini Client (C41, C41W and above), the Genie Remote is
not required – you can still use the previous generation Universal Remote
Control to operate your devices.
