Troubleshooting / Tips
1. If the same button is pressed and held for 30
seconds, your remote control will turn itself off
automatically. This extends the battery life should
the remote become lodged under or between
heavy objects, for example sofa cushions.
2. If you have a TV that’s operated by remote
control, it is recommended that you plug it directly
into a wall outlet instead of the Satellite receiver.
3. If you have any questions concerning the brand,
model or operation of your Satellite receiver,
contact your Satellite service provider.
