3. You will notice that first box on the top left is highlighted in Yellow. That means that is the active box to work on. Looking to the center of the screen you will see it say DISH NETWORK, and under that you see four rows of digits. Notice that before the long string of digits is a DOUBLE DIGIT NUMBER. You are looking at the KEYS that are used to decrypt signal.

4. The doulble digit is just the NUMBER of the key that you're working on and the long string of eight pairs is the actual key. IT SHOULD LOOK like:

10 xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
11 xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
20 xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
21 xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx

You'll notice that there are combinations of NUMBERS and LETTERS.To be able to enter them easly there is a built in Keypad to the software. Hit the OK button when you have the long string of numbers Highlighted and you'll see KEYPAD pop up.

6. To use the KEYPAD, use the UP, DOWN,LEFT,RIGTH buttons on the remote and move to the number or letter you want to input. When that number or letter is highlighed, press OK and it will show up on screen.
The cursor on the screen will automatically jump to the next position so you don't have to worry about that.

7. When you are done working on line 10 (entered the last pair of numbers in the string), hit the EXIT button on the remote ONCE. That will take the KEYPAD away. You can then hit the DOWN button and move down to the string to the right of number 11.

8. Once again press OK to bring up the KEYPAD and enter That string of numbers.
