1.10 IR Information

10

- IR Blaster is always on the end point (display)

- Use the remote control of the end point device facing the IR receiver.

NOTE: Infrared receiving areas of devices can be located by shining a flashlight onto the front of the device –
the sensor should be able to be seen through the plastic as a small, round object inside. Insert 3.5mm jacks of
IR RX receivers into RX ports, making sure the receivers themselves are placed in clear view to receive an
infrared signal from the remote handset used to control the display outputs.
