DISH Network VIP222 User Manual

These instructions help you improve your remote control settings to best operate your 
satellite receiver. Use the following instructions to make your remote control operate more 
efficiently with your receiver.

Because UHF signals travel long distances and go through walls, a neighbor’s remote 
may control your receiver by mistake. To keep this from happening, you can change the 
remote address. You can also use these instructions to change the address on Remote 
Control 1.

1

Press SYSTEM INFO on the receiver's front panel. The System Information screen 
displays on the nearby TV and shows the Remote Address.

Write down the Secondary Remote Address: 

If changing the address for Remote Control 1, write down
the Primary Remote Address: 

2

Press and hold SAT on your remote control for about three seconds, until all of the mode 
buttons light up, and then let go of SAT.

3

Use the NUMBER PAD to enter any number between 1 and 16, but not the one you wrote 
in step 1.

4

Press POUND (#). If you entered the address correctly, SAT will flash three times.

Write down the number you entered:

5

Press RECORD. Make sure the Remote Address you see on the System Information 
screen is the same as the one you entered in step 3. If it isn't, the remote cannot control 
the receiver.

6

Press SELECT to close the System Information screen.
