Your receivers and remote control(s) have troubleshooting tools that a DISH Customer
Service Representative may ask you to use if you should ever run into issues while using
your equipment. Even though these tools are quite helpful, it is recommended that you
only use them when directed to on the phone by a DISH Customer Service representative.
Running System Wizard
A Customer Service Representative will instruct you when to access and run this wizard.
1
Press and hold the System Wizard (NUMBER 0) button on your remote control until the
SAT mode light blinks.
2
When the SAT mode light goes out, release the System Wizard button.
Note that the receiver may take several minutes to complete the data-sharing process.

Press the red RESET button behind the door on the front panel of the receiver.
