If your Flipper remote isn’t working with your Genie box, it may be set to RF (radio frequency) mode instead of IR (infrared). Follow these steps to ensure proper functionality.
Step 1: Check Basic Requirements
✔
Use the correct remote code:
The most common DirectTV remote code is
2324.
✔ Ensure line of sight: The
remote must have a clear view of the Genie box.
✔ Stay within range: The remote
works best within 4-5 feet of
the box.
Step 2: Activate IR Mode on the Genie Box
If your Genie box is in RF mode, it won’t respond to IR signals. To enable IR mode:
- Press "Menu" on the DirectTV remote.
-
Navigate to:
- Settings → Remote Control → Activate IR
- Follow the on-screen instructions.
If these steps don’t match your menu, refer to:
- Your Genie box settings
- The user manual
- DirectTV online support
Once IR mode is activated, your remote should function correctly.
