Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the
XPERTrM UHF/IR Universal Remote
Control. The XPERT remote control is a
full-function remote designed to be simple
and easy to operate. The XPERT can
control both UHF and IR based HTS and
EchoStar satellite receivers.
The XPERT UHF/IR Universal Remote
includes the following features:
l an arrow cluster design for maximum ease
of operation:
l a battery saving time-out which automati-
cally shuts off the remote if a key is contin-
uously depressed for more than 3 minutes
(as if stuck between sofa cushions);
l a SPEED button which allows you to pro-
gram a frequently used button sequence to
be controlled by a single button.
1 - Choosing an Overlay
The XPERT Universal Remote comes with
an assortment of different colored remote
keypad overlays, one of which you will
attach to the remote. Each overlay has been
designed to be compatible with one or more
HTS or EchoStar satellite receivers. On the
following pages, the provided overlay
“colors” are shown with a list of compatible
receivers, the required internal dip switch
settings for the remote, and any special
instructions needed to use the XPERT
Remote with your receiver.
The rest of this manual consists of:
l attaching the overlay
l dip switch settings
l installing the batteries
l resetting the XPERT Remote
l Speed Button function
