How to Use the RF Extender Introduction Infrared (IR) remote controls do not work properly when obstacles between the remote control and the audio/video devices disturb the operating signal. This problem can be solved using radio frequency (RF) as a carrier for IR commands. The Pronto Remote Control, in combination with the RF Extender, can operate audio/video devices from virtually any location. The RF Extender consists of two units: a Receiver unit, and a Blaster unit. The Receiver unit recei

How to Use the RF Extender Situation B: The RF Extender controls devices placed in an adjacent room. Situation A: Your devices can be remotely controlled when they are not in the line of sight of the remote control. Situation C: The RF Extender is placed inside a closet, a rack or another piece of furniture together with your devices. The arrangements in the situation shown above can also be combined. You can control all RF Extenders individually with one or more Pronto Remote Controls. Use

How to Install the RF Extender How to Position the Blaster Unit For optimal results, the Blaster unit should be positioned horizontally, either facing up, or facing down. Make sure to place the Blaster unit in a central position aimed directly at the audio/video devices. The IR blaster (the dark plastic window on top of the Blaster unit) in particular should be aimed at the devices, since the IR signals sent out by the IR blaster must reach the IR receivers of the devices. For optimal IR recepti

How to Install the RF Extender Once you have found the best position, you can optionally mount the Blaster unit onto a piece of furniture using the mounting plate and screws, which are included. 1 Screw the mounting plate to a rack, closet or another piece of furniture. Provide sufficient space to connect the power adapter and to slide the Blaster unit back on. Note Depending on the surface, it may be possible to attach the mounting plate to the furniture using a piece of 2-sided tape or velcro

How to Install the RF Extender How to Position the Receiver Unit For optimal performance, the Receiver unit should be placed in a location where there is little or no RF interference. In most cases, however, you will notice no RF interference. There may be RF interference when other appliances (such as WiFi base stations, audio/video devices, microwave ovens, or wireless telephones) are operated nearby. The LED on the Receiver unit indicates the amount of RF interference. The amount of RF in

How to Install the RF Extender 3 Check the LED on the Receiver unit for RF interference. If the LED does not blink, or blinks only sporadically, position the Receiver unit there, and continue with step 7. If the LED still blinks, continue with the next step. Note When the LED blinks only sporadically, with low light intensity, there are no problems with RF interference. 4 Try out other positions moving the Receiver unit around, and check the LED for RF interference. If the LED does not blink, or

How to Do More How to Set the Extender IDs The RF Extender can be used in several situations as illustrated in the picture on p. 4: out of sight, in an adjacent room, or inside a closet. Since the RF Extender ‘communicates’ with the Pronto Remote Control, you must set the same Extender ID (identity) on both appliances. The settings depend on whether you have a single RF Extender or multiple RF Extenders. Single RF Extender When you use only one RF Extender, you can accept the default setting fo

How to Do More How to Fine-Tune the Installation Using the Dip Switches At the bottom of the Blaster unit, you find 5 dip switches (numbered 1-5). When you use Dual IR emitters to send the IR signals to the audio/video devices, configure the dip switches to: ■ Turn the IR blaster on or off (independently from the Dual IR emitters); ■ Configure the power levels of the Dual IR emitters, e.g.: ■ When you configure the Dual IR emitters in wired IR solutions using a connecting block. In this case, yo
