How to Write the ROM 102 Card With a Pansat 3500SD

The Pansat 3500SD is a free-to-air satellite receiver used to obtain unscrambled television signals from around the world. Unlike some receivers that require upgrades through USB uploads, the Pansat receiver requires a ROM 102 card. This card, when inserted into the receiver, writes the programming codes onto the receiver, informing it of available stations. It works in a similar manner to the access cards used by some DirecTV and Dish Network receivers.

Instructions

1. Power down the Pansat 3500SD receiver. You can't upgrade and write the ROM 102 information to the receiver while it is on.

2. Open the card access panel. If there is a ROM 102 card currently inserted, push it in slightly to unlock the card. Slide the card out to expose the card slot.

3. Slide the ROM 102 card you have into the open slot, then close the access panel and power on the Pansat 3500SD receiver. Wait a moment and the ROM 102 card information writes its programming data directly to the receiver.
