Installing the batteries in the remote control
You’ve unpacked the receiver and reviewed its front and back panels.
Now it’s time to start setting up.
The first step is to install the batteries in your remote control.
1
Unlatch the battery compartment cover on the
back of remote control.
2
Insert 2 AAA batteries as shown, making
sure the + and – ends of each battery
line up with the corresponding marks in
the battery compartment.
3
Snap the cover back onto the remote control.
4
Test the remote control to make sure the batteries have been inserted correctly.
Press the MODE button repeatedly until the DIRECTV mode is selected and make sure the
button lights up. If it does not light up, check the orientation of the batteries.
NOTE
Alkaline batteries are strongly recommended for this remote control.
Inserting the Access Card
The next step is to insert your Access Card into your receiver. (You will not be able to view
DIRECTV
®
programming unless the Access Card is properly inserted into the DIRECTV
®
HD
Receiver.)
For some receivers, the card may already be inserted when you unpack the box.
1
Locate the ACCESS CARD slot.
The slot is located on the front of the DIRECTV
®
HD Receiver.
2
Insert the Access Card.
Make sure the side with the bar code is facing down, and the arrow is pointing away from
you.
The Access Card should only be removed when replacing the card with a new one provided by
DIRECTV or your program provider.
