• This remote control gives you easy access to all the features
of a DISH Network satellite TV receiver. Maybe best of all,
this remote lets you control DishPVR features. These features
let you record audio and video with full digital quality,
without a VCR.
• Also, you can set up the remote to control as many as three
devices along with the receiver. These can be TVs, VCRs,
DVD players, cable TV boxes, tuners, or audio amplifiers.

The remote control comes with 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's
top latch and lift the cover off.
2. 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. 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.

The remote control uses both Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) radio
signals and Infra-Red (IR) light signals to control the receiver
but uses only IR signals to control other devices.
• IR signals 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.
