Introduction
This manual provides comprehensive instructions for the Dish Network 3.4 and 4.4 Remote Set. This set includes a 3.4 IR 1 remote with a green color-coded ID pad and a 4.4 IR/UHF 2 remote with a blue color-coded ID pad. These remotes serve as an upgrade and direct replacement for the original remotes used with the Dish Network 322 receiver model.
The remotes are pre-programmed and designed for ease of use, offering both Infrared (IR) and Ultra High Frequency (UHF) capabilities for versatile control of your Dish Network receiver and compatible devices.
Product Overview

The Dish Network 3.4 remote is primarily an Infrared (IR) remote, identified by its green color-coded ID pad. The Dish Network 4.4 remote offers both Infrared (IR) and Ultra High Frequency (UHF) capabilities, distinguished by its blue color-coded ID pad. Both remotes are designed to provide seamless control over your Dish Network 322 receiver.
Setup
1. Battery Installation
The remotes require batteries for operation. Although batteries are not included with the set, the remotes are designed to use standard Lithium batteries. To install:
- Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote.
- Slide or lift the cover to open the compartment.
- Insert the required batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated inside the compartment.
- Replace the battery compartment cover securely.
2. Initial Programming / Pairing
These remotes are pre-programmed for the Dish Network 322 receiver. For most users, they will work immediately upon battery installation. However, if you experience issues or wish to pair them with a different device or for UHF functionality (4.4 remote only), follow these general steps:
- For IR Control: Ensure a clear line of sight between the remote's IR emitter and the receiver's IR sensor. The 3.4 remote operates solely via IR.
- For UHF Control (4.4 Remote Only): The 4.4 remote supports UHF, allowing control without direct line of sight. Refer to your Dish Network receiver's manual for specific UHF pairing instructions, as this process typically involves a menu option on the receiver itself.
- Programming for TV/VCR: To control your television or VCR, you may need to program the remote using specific codes. Consult the original Dish Network remote programming guide or the Dish Network website for a list of codes and programming steps. The remotes are compatible with VCRs.

Maintenance
Battery Replacement
When the remote's performance degrades (e.g., reduced range, unresponsive buttons), it is likely time to replace the batteries. Follow the battery installation steps outlined in the "Setup" section. Always replace all batteries at the same time with new ones of the same type.
Cleaning
To clean the remote, use a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive moisture, as these can damage the remote's electronics or finish.
