Setting Up the RF Antenna (SAT-A2 Only)

Do not place the RF antenna directly on
top of the DSS receiver or any other metal
object. For best results, place the RF
antenna in a visible location.
The operating range of the DSS remote
control is about 100 ft. This may decrease
due to ambient radio wave conditions,
your room's walls, weak batteries, etc.

Chapter 3: Connecting Your System
The RF (radio frequency) antenna enables the remote control to operate
the DSS receiver even if the receiver is located in another room or is
placed behind a cabinet door. In other words, with the RF feature, the
remote control does not require a direct line-of-sight to the front panel
of the DSS receiver.
Note
You must set up the RF antenna if you plan on using the RF feature.
To set up the RF antenna:
1
Connect the RF antenna to the DSS receiver's RF REMOTE jack.
2
Place the RF antenna at least one foot away from the DSS receiver.
3
Use the on-screen displays to set up the DSS receiver to accept RF
transmission (RF ONLY). See "Setting Up the Remote Control" on
page 71 for details.
The DSS receiver is shipped with IR transmission enabled and RF transmission
disabled. To use the RF feature, you must first change the factory setting (IR
ONLY) to the RF setting (RF ONLY) using the on-screen displays, as described
on page 71.
Optional Setup
The RF antenna can be mounted to a wall using the enclosed
screws or by using two pieces of double-sided tape (supplied).
