Pyramid.book Page 3 Wednesday, February 16, 2005 4:00 PM INTRODUCTION The IR-to-UHF Pro Upgrade Kit lets you use an ultra-high frequency (UHF) remote to control an infrared (IR) DISH Network satellite TV receiver from much farther away than with an IR remote control, even through walls that block IR signals. Note: The remote control/converter combination included in this kit works only with compatible DIS H Network receivers, and is not for any other devices.
Pyramid.book Page 4 Wednesday, February 16, 2005 4:00 PM The converter gets the UHF signal, changes it to IR, and sends the IR signal to the receiver. The best way to get the IR signal to the receiver is with the IR extender cable because the signal doesn’t have to go through the air, but you can also use just the converter to send the signal to the receiver (see the example in Figure 3). Figure 3.
Pyramid.book Page 5 Wednesday, February 16, 2005 4:00 PM SETTING UP THE KIT The kit includes a UHF Pro remote control, batteries, an IR extender cable, an IR clip, an AC adapter, a converter, and a UHF antenna. Figure 4. Parts of the IR-to-UHF Pro Upgrade Kit SETTING UP THE SIGNAL CONVERTER 1. Make sure you fully install the satellite TV system. See the satellite receiver’s User Guide. 2.
Pyramid.book Page 6 Wednesday, February 16, 2005 4:00 PM Tighten the connection only by hand. If you use a wrench, you may over-tighten the connection and damage your equipment. Such damage is not covered by the Limited Warranty. b. Make sure the REMOTE KEY switch matches the UHF Pro key at the bottom of the remote. If the switch setting does not match the key or if you'd like to change these settings, see Changing Frequencies on page 31. c.
Pyramid.book Page 7 Wednesday, February 16, 2005 4:00 PM Figure 7. IR Sensor behind a lens 5. To secure the IR head, peel the paper off the strip of tape on the head (the IR signal goes through the tape), and stick the head into place. 6. For DISH Player-DVR 522 and DISH Player-DVR 625, place the IR head about ¼” from the left side of the front panel lens. Figure 8. DISH Player-DVR 522 IR sensor 7. For DISH 301, DISH 311, DISH 322 receivers, you can use the IR head clip to set up the IR extender cable.
Pyramid.book Page 8 Wednesday, February 16, 2005 4:00 PM a. Attach the IR head clip to the receiver’s bottom panel, on the grate directly behind the front panel’s IR sensor. You must center the clip on the second slot from the left. There is a CLIP label on the bottom panel of some DISH 301, DISH 311, and DISH 322 receivers. b. Fit the IR head into the IR head clip, and route the IR extender cable out through the clip’s slot. 8. Route the IR extender cable under the back of the receiver, to the converter.
Pyramid.book Page 9 Wednesday, February 16, 2005 4:00 PM SETTING UP THE REMOTE CONTROL INSTALLING BATTERIES The remote control requires AAA batteries.

Pyramid.book Page 42 Wednesday, February 16, 2005 4:00 PM TROUBLESHOOTING THE KIT What’s Happening What’s Wrong What You Can Do The kit doesn’t work well. That is, when you press a remote control button, either nothing happens or the action you want is repeated. Or, the red light flashes or flickers (maybe very dimly) inside the converter, even though you don’t press any remote button. The converter may be picking up stray UHF signals from other devices nearby.
Pyramid.book Page 43 Wednesday, February 16, 2005 4:00 PM What’s Happening When you press a button on the remote control, the red light flashes inside the converter (but doesn’t stay on) and the receiver doesn’t do what you expect. When you press a button on the remote control, the red light inside the converter doesn’t flash and the receiver doesn’t do what you expect. What’s Wrong What You Can Do • The converter may not be facing the satellite receiver’s front panel.
Pyramid.book Page 44 Wednesday, February 16, 2005 4:00 PM What’s Happening The receiver does things even though you don’t press any remote control buttons. What’s Wrong • The converter may be picking up UHF signals from a neighbor’s remote control or from another UHF Pro remote control in the residence, which may be controlling your receiver. The receiver may be picking up stray IR signals from another DISH Network remote control being used nearby.
