Remote Control Operation Tips
Remote Antenna
The remote control antenna MUST be connected to the REMOTE ANTENNA port on the back panel of each applicable
receiver for proper UHF and UHF Pro remote/receiver operation.
UHF Pro Remotes
• UHF Pro technology is not compatible with UHF technology. A UHF Pro receiver cannot be controlled using the UHF
signal from a UHF remote, and a UHF receiver cannot be controlled by the UHF Pro signal of a UHF Pro remote.
• For UHF Pro remotes with an A/B switch inside the battery compartment: If you use a UHF Pro remote near another
UHF Pro remote on the same frequency (for example, another receiver in the home, or a neighbor has one), selecting
the other band tells the remote to use a different remote frequency, and eliminates conicts with the other remote
control(s). DISH 322, DISH 811, and DISH Player-DVRs 522, 625, and 921 will not operate with Band B.
• For 20.0 and 21.0 remotes: There is an IR and UHF (UHF Pro) switch to assign to the TV1 and TV2 remote controls.
Dual-Tuner Receivers
• TV1 of dual-tuner, two-TV receivers, except the 922, can be congured to accept either IR or UHF Pro commands. A
TV1 UHF Pro key must be installed in the remote (not for 20.0 and 21.0 remotes—see information in section above).
Use the replacement remote's User’s Guide to ensure the correct TV1 UHF Pro key is used (DISH 322s, and DISH
Player-DVRs 522 and 625 use a different key than other receiver models).
• TV2 of dual-tuner, two-TV receivers is UHF Pro ONLY. To operate TV2 via IR, see TV2 IR Converter.
• The TV2 remote control for dual-tuner, two-TV receivers can be congured for use as an IR remote control for TV1 or
as a UHF Pro remote control for TV2 (the TV2 remote ships with the blue UHF Pro key installed).
