REMOTE CONTROL BASICS
This remote control gives you easy access to all the features
of a DISH Network satellite TV receiver and lets you control PVR
features of a DISH Network DishPVR satellite receiver. These PVR
features let you record programming with full digital quality,
without a VCR.
You can set up the remote to control the satellite TV receiver and up
three other devices. These devices can be a TV, a VCR or DVD player,
and a third device.
REMOTE CONTROL BATTERIES
The remote control requires 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.
121150 3
REMOTE CONTROL SIGNALS: UHF AND IR
The remote control uses both Ultra High Frequency (UHF) radio
signals and Infrared (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.
• UHF signals travel long distances (100 feet or more) and can
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 Change the
Address on page 9. If this doesn’t work, see Install an Attenuator
on page 4.
• You need to attach the UHF remote antenna to the receiver’s
back panel UHF REMOTE ANTENNA input so you can use the
UHF capabilities of the remote.
Note: Set the antenna straight up so you can use the remote
from as far away as possible. Don’t let the antenna touch
anything.
Note: If you don’t attach the antenna, you can still use the remote
to control the receiver at short distances. This is because
the remote sends both IR and UHF signals to the receiver.
4 121150
INSTALL AN ATTENUATOR
Stray UHF signals can block signals from the remote control
to the receiver. To prevent blocks, you can install a 10 dB attenuator
(you can buy one from a consumer electronics parts store).
Note: This will help keep out stray UHF signals, but also cut down
how far away you can use the remote control.
1. Take the UHF antenna off
of the receiver’s back panel
UHF REMOTE ANTENNA
input.
2. Put a 10 dB attenuator onto the
UHF REMOTE ANTENNA
input.
3. Put the UHF antenna onto the
attenuator.
121150 5
REMOTE CONTROL MODES
REGULAR MODES
You can set the remote to four different modes to control the receiver
or other devices.
Set up the remote to control a device like a TV or a VCR. See Set Up
the Remote Control on page 6 for what to do.
Note: The remote comes already set up to control the receiver, unless
you have changed the address on your receiver.
Use the remote control’s mode buttons, SAT (“satellite” receiver), TV,
VCR (for a VCR or a DVD player), and AUX (“auxiliary,” for a cable
TV box, a tuner, a second TV, a second VCR, a DVD player, or an
audio amplifier) to set the remote to the right mode for the device. To
change the mode, press the button for the device you want the remote
to control. The mode button stays lit for two seconds to show you’ve
set the remote to that mode.
LIMITED MODE
You can program your remote control in limited mode to keep from
accidentally changing the channel on your TV or VCR. When you use
the remote to control your TV in limited mode, you will only be able to
use the POWER, MUTE, and VOLUME buttons. Also, when you use
the remote to control your VCR in limited mode, you will only be able
to use the POWER and VCR function buttons.
The section Set Up the Remote Control has a step that tells the remote
control to go into limited mode.
Note: Limited mode is not used with cable boxes or amplifiers.

REMOTE CONTROL SETUP
SET UP THE REMOTE CONTROL
On the next few pages we tell you how to set up the remote to control
a TV, a VCR, or other devices.
When you get the remote it’s already set up to control the
receiver, unless you have changed the address on your
receiver. However, you must set up the remote to control
the TV before you can use the MUTE and VOLUME
buttons. To set up the remote control, you can either
follow the directions in Setting Up to Control Other
Devices below or Scan for Device Codes on page 7.
SETTING UP TO CONTROL OTHER DEVICES
You can set up the remote to control other devices using the device
codes listed on page 26. Here’s what to do:
1. Use the device’s buttons or its remote control to turn the
device on.
2. Find the brand name of the device in the tables starting on
page 26.
If the brand isn’t listed, see Scan for Device Codes on page 7.
3. Press and hold the mode button for the device you want
the remote to control, for about three seconds. When all the
other mode buttons light up, let go of the mode button – that
mode button should now be flashing.
For example, hold the TV mode button for a TV until all of the
other mode buttons light. When you let go, the TV mode light
will flash.
4. Only for the AUX mode, Use a number button to enter 0 for a
second TV, or 1 for a second VCR, or 2 for a tuner, amplifier, or
cable box.
For any other mode, skip to step 5.
5. Use the number buttons to enter one of the
device codes from the table.
6. Only for limited mode, Press 1.
Note: If you want to use all of the remote
control’s features in TV mode, reprogram the
remote control following these instructions
but skip step 6.
121150 7
7. Press the POUND (#) button. If you entered the code
correctly, the mode button flashes three times.
8. Press the blank POWER button to test if the code
works for the device. If it does, the device should
turn off.
9. Turn the device back on and try some other buttons
to make sure they work. Sometimes, the blank POWER button
works when other buttons don’t. If the code works for other
buttons, stop here.
10.If the code you entered doesn’t work, do steps 3 through 9 again
with another device code from the tables.
11. If you cannot find a code that works, try Scan for Device Codes
below.
SCAN FOR DEVICE CODES
If the code for your device is not listed in the tables on starting page 26,
use this procedure to scan the remote control’s memory for the device
code. Here’s what to do:
1. Use the device’s buttons or its remote control to turn the device
on.
2. Press and hold the mode button for the device you want the
remote to control, for about three seconds. When all the other
mode buttons light up, let go of the mode button – that mode
button should now be flashing.
For example, hold the TV mode button for a TV until all of the
other mode buttons light. When you let go, the TV mode light
will flash.
3. Only for the AUX mode, use the number buttons
to enter 0 for a second TV, 1 for a second VCR,
or 2 for a tuner, amplifier, or cable box. Then press
the STAR (*) button.
For any other mode, skip to step 4.
8 121150
4. Press the blank POWER button.
5. Press the up or down arrow button until the
device turns off. You will have to do this
repeatedly to scan through all codes.
Note: The mode button for the device will flash
rapidly eight times when you’ve scanned all the
codes for that device.
6. If the remote reaches the correct code, the device
turns off. When this happens, press the POUND (#)
button to store the code in the remote.
7. Press the blank POWER button to turn the device
back on.
8. Try some other buttons to make sure they work.

CHECK THE DEVICE CODES
You can find out what device code you’ve set for each remote control
mode. Here’s what to do:
1. Press and hold the mode button for the device you want the
remote to control, for about three seconds. When all the other
mode buttons light up, let go of the mode button – that mode
button should now be flashing.
For example, hold the TV mode button for a TV until all of the
other mode buttons light. When you let go, the TV mode light
will flash.
2. Press the POUND (#) button twice. The mode button
flashes the number for each digit of the device code,
with a pause between the groups of flashes. A quick
flash is for zero. For example, if the code is 570, the
mode button flashes five times, pauses, flashes seven times,
pauses, and flashes once quickly.
121150 9
For AUX mode, the first group of flashes tells you what the
AUX mode controls. A quick flash (zero) before the three-digit
code is for a TV; one regular flash is for a VCR; and two flashes
is for a tuner, amplifier, or cable box. For example, if the TV
code is 570, the AUX mode button flashes once quickly, pauses,
flashes five times, pauses, flashes seven times, pauses, and
flashes once quickly.

TROUBLESHOOT THE REMOTE CONTROL
What’s
Happening What’s Wrong What You Can Do
While you do
a remote
procedure, the
remotecontrol
“times out.”
• 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.
Start over again.
When you
press the
remotecontrol
Power button
to turn the
receiver on,
the receiver’s
front panel
Power light
doesn’t turn
on.
• 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.
• Replace the remote batteries with
fresh ones.
• Make sure the receiver power cord
is plugged into a power outlet.
• Press SAT to set the remote to SAT
mode to control the receiver.
• Make sure the remote and the
receiver have the same address.
See Change the Address on
page 9.
121150 33
When you
press a button
on the remote
control, the
devicedoesn’t
do what you
expect.
• Maybe you’re
trying to control a
device and
you’re not
pointing the
remote control
right at it.
• Maybe the
remote control is
missing
batteries, maybe
you put the
batteries in the
remote the
wrong way, or
maybe the
batteries are
weak or dead.
• Maybe you didn’t
set the remote to
the mode for the
device you want
to control.
• Maybe you didn’t
set up the remote
to control the
device.
• UHFsignals from
a neighbor’s
remote may be
blocking signals
from your
remote.
• Remember, the remote control uses
IR signals to control all devices
except for the receiver (when using
the UHF antenna). IR signals travel
only 40 feet or less, and can’t go
through walls or other solid objects.
You must point the remote control
right at the device, with no objects to
block the signal path.
• If the batteries are missing or dead,
put fresh AAA-size batteries in. If
the remote has fresh batteries,
check whether you put them in the
right way. If you didn’t, take them
out and put them in the right way.
• Press the correctmode button to set
the remote to the mode for the
device you want
to control.
• Make sure you set up the remote
to control all the devices you want
to use. See Remote Control Setup
on page 6.
• Put a UHF attenuator on the
receiver’s UHF Remote Antenna
input. This will help keep stray
signals from blocking your remote’s
signals, but also cut down how far
away you can use the remote.
Change your receiver’s address
(see Change the Address on
page 9).
When you
press the
remotecontrol
Mute or
Volume
button,
nothing
happens.
• Maybe you have
not set up the
remote control.
• Maybe you’re
trying to control
TV volume but
you set up the
remote
to control a tuner
or amplifier in
AUX mode.
• Maybe you’re
trying to control
tuner or amplifier
volume but you
set up the remote
to control a TV
in AUX mode.
• See Remote Control Setup on
page 6.
• Set up the remote to control either
TV volume or tuner/amplifier
volume, whichever you want.

The shipping charge, for receiving replacement equipment and
returning the defective equipment, is a one time fee based on
EchoStar’s competitive bulk shipping rates (additional charges may
apply outside of the continental US). This fee will be charged to your
billing account or your valid credit card.
If you do not ship the defective equipment to EchoStar within ten days
after receiving the replacement, your billing account or credit card will
be charged the market price of the replacement. If you return the
defective equipment after ten days, you will receive a full refund less
an administrative fee.
If your equipment is out of warranty and can be repaired your billing
account or credit card will be charged the standard repair fee for the
replacement. If damage to the defective equipment is found, which
EchoStar in its sole discretion determines has voided the warranty, or
makes the equipment unrepairable, your billing account or credit card
will be charged the market price of the replacement.

ACCESSORY WARRANTY
An accessory is any DISH Network branded equipment, displaying the
DISH Network logo, excluding the receiver, Smart Card, cables and

becomes effective upon the activation of the DISH system or date of
purchase, if bought separately. A proof of purchase is required to verify
the purchase date. If an accessory has an expired warranty, no
exchange will be issued. You may purchase replacement accessories
from DISH Network or your local retailer.

• Check the remote control, including whether it is covered
under the warranty.
• Replace any remote we find is defective with a new or
