: How to use of 2nd RF battery

2nd RF remote control is supplied two battery and RF module. You can show these under the RF receiver unit. You should open the cover under the RFreceiver. One is battery only, the other is battery unit. You must use the battery unit and only battery is have to charge over 8H (Actually all of battery are have to charge before using)

:Angle of remote control use

The IR remote control can be used at a distance of up to 7 to 10 meters, and at an angle of 30 degrees from the remote control led. The RF remote control(hereafter RC2) can be used at Maximum 30meters distance from the RF receiver.

Ch1. Before You Begin | 15

1.4.2 Remote ControlExtender 1)Introduction

This Remote Control Extender uses the smartest and easiest technology in extending the remote control operation. By installing the transmitter in the battery pocket only, your remote control now detects the key signals and transmits them far away.

This extender kit (called Remote Control Extender) includes transmitter (battery type), receiver (UFO shape), two 2/3 rechargeable batteries and AAA sleeve.

*RF transmitter	*3/2AAA	*RF receiver
	Rechargeable battery

Then, the upgraded remote controls with RF transmitter can operate through door, windows, floors and walls. And this extender kit removes the worry about line of sight requirements. When the RF transmitter is installed, the remote control still transmits the normal infrared signal like a normal remote control. That is, your remote control will transmit radio frequency (RF), regardless of distance or line or sight.

-control satellite / cable in living room from bed room

16 | AF-9400PV2R Users’ Manual

2.floor to floor

-control satellite / cable in living room from the second floor

3) Installing the RF Transmitter

Your remote control will use several AAA size batteries, normally 2 to 4. Please install RF transmitter instead of a battery (one of batteries only). Below shows the battery AAA size using in normal remote control.

zAAAbattery

:InstallAAAsize transmitter like a normalAAAbattery

4) Installing the Receiver

Ch2. Connections | 17

5) Function Switch Selection (A, B, C)

You will find slide switch on the bottom of receiver if you remove the plastic case. The positions A, B, C are used to set the receiver to different remote controls. The factory setting is on position C (Most of remote control use position C)

A:56KHz (a few special remote)

B:38KHz (most of remote controls)

C:sensitivity lower (external interference etc)

6) erference

To determine whether your extender is causing the interference. If your receiver does not function properly, the two LEDs(A&B) will blink continuously or one LED will blink even without you using a remote control. IF THIS OCCURS PLEASE SEE BELOW.

1.Move your extender away from the receiver and check + realign.

2.Connect your extender to an outlet on a different electrical circuit from the receiver

3.Reduce the antenna length.

4.Select position “C” of slide switch on the back of the receiver. Please remove the plastic cover first.

5.If you cannot eliminate the interference, please contact your dealer.

7) echarging Battery

Your RF transmitter is installed with small recharging battery (2/3 AAA size), and the performance of the extender deteriorates (the LEDs do not blink when you press the remote control), you need to recharge (replace) the battery.

1.Remove the RF transmitter from your remote control and take rechargeable battery out.

2.Find the recharging pocket on the bottom of receiver. There should be an extra battery, fully charged already in the pocket.

18 | AF-9400PV2R Users’ Manual

3.Install the full-charged battery in transmitter and insert old battery into the 2/3 AAA pocket for recharging. Lose the cover.

While the battery is recharging, the LED CHG (BAT) will blink in the receiver. LED will blink when the recharging battery is inserted in the pocket. Full recharging time is approx. 12 hours and 6-8 hours when the battery is not fully flat.

After replacement of rechargeable battery, you need to test the function. If you feel the same distance or working problem, replace normal battery (AAA) with new one.

--Caution --

1.Do not use a normal battery in recharging pocket.

2.Only use a rechargeable battery.

8) Care

Keep the extender dry, if it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Use and store the extender only in normal temperature environments. Handle the extender carefully and do not drop it. Keep the extender away from dust and dirt, and wipe it with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.
