Remote Control Signals: UHF or IR

ABOUT THE REMOTE CONTROL

The remote control gives you easy access to all the features of a DISH NetworkTM satellite TV system. You can set up the remote to control up to three devices other than the satellite TV receiver.

The three devices may include a TV, a VCR, a DVD player, a cable TV box, a tuner, or an audio amplifier.

REMOTE CONTROL SIGNALS: UHF OR IR

•The remote control uses Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) radio signals to control the satellite TV receiver. UHF signals travel long distances (100 feet or more) and go through walls and other solid objects. Because UHF signals travel so far, the receiver may respond to signals from other nearby remote controls.

To handle this problem, see Changing the Remote Control Address on page16. If this does not work, see Installing an Attenuator on page17.

•To use the remote to control the receiver, you must attach the UHF antenna to the receiver back panel UHF Remote Antenna connection.

Note: To be able to use the remote control over the longest possible distance, place the antenna straight up. Do not let the antenna touch anything.

•The remote control uses Infra-Red (IR) light signals to control devices other than the receiver. IR signals travel only short distances (40 feet or less), and cannot go through walls or other solid objects. You must point the remote control directly

at the device, with no objects blocking the line of sight.
