1 Unlatch the battery compartment cover on the back of remote control.
2 Insert 2 AAA batteries as shown, making sure the + and – ends of each battery line up with the corresponding marks in the battery compartment.
3 Snap the cover back onto the remote control.
4Test the remote control to make sure the batteries have been inserted correctly. Press the DIRECTV button and make sure the button lights up. If it does not light up, check the orientation of the batteries.
