Chapter 2 - Getting Started

Installing The Base Unit

The SUR-BU base unit is equipped with 4 IR emitting LEDs which are positioned in a North, South, East and West configuration to flood the room with IR signals. Place the unit so the IR transmission can be “seen” by the IR receiving windows on your TV, VCR, DVD and A/V equipment. You may want to experiment to find a location that gives the best results. Rubber feet for table top placement and screws for wall mounting are included.
1. Plug AC adapter into AC adapter jack on base unit and into 120V AC wall outlet.
2. Set address code if necessary. See page 10, Setting the RF Address
for more information.
3. Position base unit so that it is aimed at equipment. Use IR blaster cable for equipment out of directional range.

Using the IR blaster cable

The IR blaster cable can be used with individual pieces of equipment that face different directions, are located in a cabinet or otherwise not in direct line of sight with the base unit. The cable comes with double stick tape on both sides to allow attachment directly to a device or to aim at several devices. Contact Sima at 800-345-7462 if additional IR blaster cables are needed.

Installing Batteries

The SUR-47 operates on four AAA Alkaline batteries (not included). Batteries must be inserted before you can operate the SUR-47.
1. Turn the remote over, push the tab in the direction of the arrow on the battery cover and slide the cover off.
2. Insert the batteries, matching the batteries to the (+) and (–) marks inside the battery case. Snap the battery cover back into place.
