Troubleshooting Tables
Your UHF Pro remote control does
not work well from far away.
You may be experiencing UHF
interference from objects near your
receiver antenna.
• Make sure the remote control
antenna is connected to the
REMOTE ANTENNA port on the
receiver’s back panel.
• Make sure the remote control
antenna is not touching any other
equipment or any back panel
connections on your receiver.
Provide space above the receiver
so the antenna can be installed
straight up.
• Place the receiver higher than the
other equipment in your
entertainment center.
• Move the antenna away from the
back of the entertainment center
wiring and other electronics using
a short piece of coaxial cable (3 to
5 feet).
• Connect an F-connector attenuator
between the receiver’s
REMOTE
A
NTENNA port and the remote
control antenna. Refer to page 75.
• Change the UHF Frequency of the
remote control. Refer to page 74.
When you press the remote control
POWER button to turn the receiver
on, the receiver front panel power
light does not light up.
• The remote control may be in the
wrong mode.
• Other lights are too bright.
• Press the mode button for the
device you want to control.
• Try other remote control buttons to
see if the receiver is responding.
• Remote control is not operating
properly or the batteries are weak
or dead.
• Replace the remote batteries with
fresh ones.
• The receiver power cord is not
plugged into a power outlet, or
there may be a problem with the
power.
• Check that the receiver power cord
is not damaged, and that the plug
is inserted correctly into the outlet.
• The remote control(s) may not be
set to the address(es) used by the
satellite receiver.
• Make sure the remote control(s)
are set to the same address(es)
used by the satellite receiver. See
page 72 for information on
changing the remote control
address.
• You may be using the wrong
remote control.
• Make sure you are using the
correct remote control for your
DISH system.
You use an IR extender (not a
“mouse tail”), and it does not seem to
work.
• The IR sensor on the extender
that receives the remote control
signals may not be facing the
remote control.
• Make sure that the extender that
receives the signal from the remote
control is facing the right way, so
that the IR sensor can receive the
remote control signals.
