What's Wrong
• If you don't press
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 into a
power outlet, 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.
• UHF signals from
a neighbor's
remote may be
controlling your
receiver.
What You Can Do
Start over again.
• Replace the remote batteries with
fresh ones.
• Make sure the receiver power cord
is plugged into a power outlet.
SAT
• Press to set the remote to
SAT
mode to control the receiver.
• Make sure the remote and the
receiver have the same address.
See Setting Up to Control the
Receiver on page 5.
• Change your remote and receiver
address (see Setting Up to Control
the Receiver on page 5).
