1. Make sure both units are plugged into a standard electrical outlet.

2. If the LED light inside the Extension Unit does not illuminate when the Remote
Control is operated:

• Make sure you are pointing at the front of the Extension Unit (the Leapfrog logo
is on the front).

• Make sure you are within 18 feet of the front of the Extension Unit (depending
on the range of your individual remote control, it may be necessary to move closer
to the Extension Unit).

• Make sure nothing is blocking the path between the remote and the Extension Unit.

3. If your component does not respond when a remote control is used, but the LED on
the Base Unit is lit:

• Make sure the Base Unit is within 20 feet of your component equipment

• Make sure the Leapfrog logo on your Base Unit is pointing at the front of
your component.

• Make sure there is a clear path between the Base Unit and your component.

4. If the LED light on the Extension Unit lights when you operate the remote, but the
LED on the Base Unit does not:

• Extend the antenna all the way up or move the antenna to a different position
for better reception.

• Make sure the Extension Unit is no more than 100 feet from the Base Unit.

5. Move the Unit that appears not to be working to another location and try it again.

6. Attach the Infrared Extender to the Base Unit for situations where there is an
obstruction (TV Cabinet, etc.) between the Base Unit and the component

When to Use:

• It is only necessary to use the Infrared Extender when the Base Unit cannot be easily
placed in front of the equipment. (Example: when the component and Base Unit are
located in a closed cabinet (see figure 1).

• Use when you would prefer to conceal the Base Unit in a cabinet or behind furniture.

How to Use:

1. Plug the Infrared Extender into the back of the Base Unit (see figure 2).

2. Place the Infrared Diode (located on the opposite end of the extension cord) in clear

view of the component’s infrared sensor to enable successful signal transmission.

We recommend the following steps to correct signal transmission problems:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and the Base Unit.

• If the Base Unit and the component that is being operated are plugged into the same
electrical outlet, plug the base unit into a different outlet.

Your TERK LF-IRX Remote Control Extender consists of two units (Extension
Unit and Base Unit), an infrared extension, and two AC adapters.

Extension Unit: The Extension Unit converts
the infrared signals from your remote control into
long-range RF signals that are sent to the base unit.
The LED lamp indicates that incoming signals are
being detected.

Base Unit: The Base Unit converts the RF sig­nals from the extension unit back to the infrared sig­nals used to control your components. The unit con­tains an antenna, power cord, and a jack for the
Infrared Extension. The LED light indicates that a sig­nal is being received. The Base Unit can be placed
up to 100 feet away from the Extension Unit.

Extension

Unit (1)

Infrared Extension: The Infrared Extension
can
be used in situations where the Base Unit can
not be placed in front of the component(s)
it is controlling. This device consists of an Infrared
diode connected to a 4 ft. extension
wire and plug.

Where to Use: Set up the Extension Unit in the room where
you wish to use your remote control (example: use in the
additional room wired to receive a satellite signal from your
primary receiver).

How to Install:

1. Plug the Extension Unit into a standard electrical outlet.

2. Place the Extension Unit on a level, stable surface, with
the Leapfrog logo facing you. In most cases, the unit can
be placed up to 18 feet from where you will be using
the remote control.

3. Place the Extension Unit away from the AUDIO/VIDEO
equipment and the Base Unit (in another room,
for example).

Where to Use: Use in the room where the AUDIO/VIDEO
equipment’s infrared sensor is located.

How to Install:

1. Plug the Base Unit power cord into a standard
electrical outlet.

2. Point the Leapfrog logo on the Base Unit toward
the AUDIO/VIDEO infrared remote sensor on the
audio/video component.

3. Check to ensure that the Base Unit is located within
20 feet of the AUDIO/VIDEO equipment.

After setting up your Extension and Base Units, operate
the Signal Sender by aiming your remote at the Leapfrog
logo on the front of the Extension Unit.
