Introduction
Introduction
Introduction
Note: In this user guide Pronto is used for both ProntoPro and Pronto remote controls.
LI900 is compatible with RU950 and RU970.
About the LI900
Most remote control systems have to be operated by pointing the remote control
directly towards a device. Any obstacle between the remote control and the device
disturbs the operating signal. But what if you like to place your devices inside a
closed cabinet, a closet or even in another room?
The LI900 provides the solution to overcome obstacles like furniture or walls.
Your devices no longer have to be placed in line of sight but can be operated from
virtually any location. The LI900 is a RF Extender that is used in combination with
the Pronto Remote Control. The RF Extender receives radio frequency (RF) signals
sent out by the Pronto and converts them into infrared (IR) signals.
These IR signals are then sent out to your TV, DVD, preamplifier and so on.
Possible Set-ups
The RF Extender can be used in several situations:
• Your devices can be remotely controlled while the RF Extender is placed in line
of sight (situation A).
• The RF Extender controls devices placed in an adjacent room (situation B).
• The RF Extender is placed inside a closet, a rack or another piece of furniture
together with your devices (situation C).
• The set-ups in situation A, B and C can be combined. If you want to control
devices in different locations, you have to place a RF Extender in each
location. You can control all RF Extenders with the same Pronto Remote
Control. See Multiple RF Extenders on p. 9 to apply the necessary settings.

Installation
Installation
Installation
The following components should be present: RF Extender, power adapter,
4 dual IR emitters, mounting plate and 4 screws.
Before you install the RF Extender, you should decide which of the set-ups
described on p. 5 apply to your needs. It is recommended to read through the
entire User Guide.
Working Angle and Range of the IR blaster
Warning The IR signals sent out by the RF Extender always have to be able to reach the
receiving eyes of your devices. Make sure that the IR blaster (dark plastic window
on top of the RF Extender) is aimed at your devices.
To get optimal results, it is recommended to place the RF Extender horizontally
with the IR blaster facing up or down.
Minimum distance:
4 inches (10 cm)
Maximum distance:
Approx. 16 feet (5 m)
Mounting
The RF Extender can be mounted to a piece of furniture using the included
mounting plate and the 4 screws. Take into account the range and the working
angle of the IR blaster as explained on p. 6. Also make sure to place the
RF Extender in a central position aimed directly at your devices.
Warning It is adviced not to place the RF Extender inside or near a metal closet as
RF signals can be disturbed by metal objects.
1 Remove the mounting plate from the bottom of the RF Extender.
2 Screw the plate to a rack, closet or another piece of furniture.
Provide sufficient space to connect the power adapter and to slide the
RF Extender back on.
Note Depending on the surface, it may be possible to attach the RF Extender to the
furniture using a piece of 2-sided tape. Look for the right position and make sure
there is sufficient space.

Using the Dual IR Emitters
Like the IR blaster of the RF Extender, the dual IR emitters send out IR signals.
You can use the dual IR emitters as an alternative for the IR blaster.
When to use the emitters
The IR emitters can control devices the IR blaster cannot reach, for instance when
there is limited space around the receiving eyes of the devices, e.g. in a small
closet.
Note The IR emitters can also be used in combination with the IR blaster of the
RF Extender. Both send out IR signals simultaneously. This allows you to operate
several devices using both the IR blaster and the IR emitters.
How to use the emitters
The dual IR emitters can be attached to the surrounding surface facing the
receiving eyes or directly to the receiving eyes.
1 Attach the emitters to a surface above, below or in front of the
receiving eyes of your devices (for aesthetic appearance or when it is
difficult to locate the receiving eye).
– or –
Attach the emitters directly to the receiving eyes of your devices.
Connecting the Power Adapter
When connecting the power adapter it is recommended
that you plug the adapter into the RF Extender before
you plug it into the socket. When connected you will
see a red LED on the RF Extender.
Note To avoid interference, the adapter cable should be kept away from the
RF Extender as far as possible.
Settings
As the RF Extender ‘communicates’ with the Pronto Remote Control, you have to
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 for the
Extender ID (ID=0). Make sure your Pronto Remote Control is set to the same
default setting (see the Pronto User Guide for more details).
Multiple RF Extenders
If you want to operate several of your devices independently, e.g. grouped on
different locations, you will need multiple RF Extenders. When using several
RF Extenders, it is important to assign a unique Extender ID to each RF Extender.
16 Extender IDs (from 0 to 9 and from A to F) can be assigned.
2 Plug the dual IR emitters into the RF Extender.
Note To avoid interference, the wires of the emitters
should be kept away from the RF Extender as far
as possible.
User Guide User Guide

1 Choose an Extender ID for the RF Extender
by turning the ID dial with a small screwdriver.
2 On the Pronto Remote Control, choose the
same Extender ID for each device controlled
by the RF Extender.
Refer to the Pronto User Guide for more information.
3 Try to operate your devices with the Pronto
Remote Control.
The red LED will blink when the RF Extender receives a correct command.
4 Repeat this procedure for every RF Extender.
Installation Troubleshooting
RF Interference
If your devices are not responding to commands or if the red LED on the IR blaster
is blinking without sending commands, it might be possible that there is
RF interference. This can be the case when other RF appliances are operated
nearby, for instance at your neighbours.
When you notice RF interference, you have to choose another channel on your
RF Extender. 4 channels (CH from 0 to 3) can be assigned.
1 Choose a channel for the RF Extender by turning the CH dial with a
small screwdriver.
2 On the Pronto Remote Control, choose the same channel for the
devices controlled by the RF Extender.
Refer to the Pronto guide for more information.
3 Try to operate your devices with the Remote Control.
Troubleshooting
Devices do not respond properly
• Check if the power adapter is connected and the red LED is on.
• Check if the ID and channel numbers on the RF Extender match with the ID and
channel numbers on the Pronto Remote Control (see p. 9). Refer to the Pronto
User Guide for more details on the settings of the Remote Control.
• Check the placement of the RF Extender:
• Check the distance between the RF Extender and the Pronto Remote
Control (see p. 6).
• Check the range and the working angle of the IR blaster (see p. 6).
• Check if the RF Extender is placed in a central position relative to your
devices (see p. 7).
• Make sure that the distance between the RF Extender and your device is
at least 4 inches (10 cm).
• Make sure that the distance between the RF Extender and your device is
at most 16 feet (5 m).
• Make sure the IR signals between the RF Extender and the receiving eyes
of your devices are not disturbed by any objects.
• Check if metal objects, for instance a metal closet, wires or cables,
surrounding the RF Extender do not disturb the RF signals.
• If you are using the dual IR emitters, make sure they are connected
properly and that they are placed within range of the receiving eyes
(see p. 8).
• It might be possible that some commands cannot be sent out as RF signals.
In that case you will have to reconfigure the Pronto Remote Control to operate
your devices with IR signals again.

Introduction
Remarque: Dans le présent document, le terme Pronto est employé en référence aux
télécommandes ProntoPro et Pronto. Le prolongateur de signal LI900 est
compatible avec les stations d’accueil RU950 et RU970.
A propos du prolongateur de signal LI900
La plupart des télécommandes s’opérant par pointage en direction d’un appareil,
tout obstacle entre la télécommande et l’appareil perturbe la transmission des
signaux. Comment faire si les appareils à télécommander se trouvent à l’intérieur
d’un meuble, d’une armoire, voire dans une autre pièce?
Grâce au prolongateur LI900, capable de transmettre des signaux à travers les
meubles et les murs, il est possible de télécommander vos appareils quasiment
partout, puisqu’il est désormais inutile de les positionner dans la ligne de visée.
Le LI900 est un prolongateur de signal RF qui fonctionne avec la télécommande
Pronto. Il reçoit les signaux de radiofréquence (RF) émis par la télécommande
Pronto, les convertit en signaux infrarouges (IR), puis les transmet à votre
téléviseur, lecteur de DVD, préamplificateur, etc.
