• NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for remote control security
devices in accordance with the specifications in sub
parts C and E of part 15 of FCC rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that Radio Frequency Energy does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on.
We recommend the following steps to correct signal
transmission problems:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the
Receiver.
• If the Receiver and the component that is being operated
are plugged into the same electrical outlet, plug the
Receiver into a different outlet.

System Contents
Your TERK LF-IRX Remote Control Extender consists of two
units (Transmitter(TX) Receiver (RX)), a triple infrared
extension, and two AC adapters.
Transmitter (TX): The Transmitter converts the infrared
signals from your remote control into long-range RF
signals that are sent to the Receiver. The LED lamp
indicates that incoming signals are being detected. The
unit contains an antenna and power cord.
Receiver (RX): The Receiver converts the RF signals from
the Transmitter 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 Receiver Unit
can be placed up to 100 feet away from the Transmitter Unit.
Infrared Extension: The Infrared Extension can be used in
situations where the Receiver can not be placed in front of
the component(s) it is controlling. This device consists of 3
Infrared diodes connected to a 4 ft. extension wire and plug.
It can be placed on up to 3 different components.
Compatible Components
The LF-IRX can control virtually any household device
that is operated via infrared remote control, including:
• Satellite Receivers
• Personal Video
Recorders (TiVo,
UltimateTV)
• Cable Converter
Boxes
• VCRs
• CD Players
• Stereo Receivers
• Tape Decks
• DVD Players
• TV Sets

Setting Up the Transmitter
LF-IRX
Where to Use: Set up the Transmitter 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 Transmitter into
a standard electrical outlet.
2. Place the Transmitter on a
level, stable surface, with the
IR 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 Transmitter away
from the AUDIO/VIDEO
equipment and the Receiver
(in another room, for example).
STEP 2:
Setting Up the Receiver
LF-IRX
Where to Use: Use in the room where the AUDIO/VIDEO
equipment’s infrared sensor is located.
How to Install:
1. Plug the Receiver power cord into a standard
electrical outlet.
2. Point the IR logo on the Receiver toward the
AUDIO/VIDEO infrared remote sensor on the
audio/video component.
3. Check to ensure that the Receiver is located within
20 feet of the AUDIO/VIDEO equipment.
After setting up your Transmitter and Receiver,
operate the Signal Sender by aiming your remote
at the IR logo on the front of the Transmitter.

STEP 3 (IF NECESSARY):
Setting Up the Infrared Extender
LF-IRX
Where to Use:
• It is only necessary to use the Infrared Extender when
the Receiver cannot be easily placed in front of the
equipment. (Example: when the component and Receiver
are located in a closed cabinet (see figure 1).
• Use when you would prefer to conceal the Receiver in a
cabinet or behind furniture.
How to Use:
1. Plug the Triple Infrared Extender into the back of the
Receiver (see figure 2).
2. Place one of the Infrared Diodes (located on the
opposite end of the extension cord) in clear view of the
component’s infrared sensor to enable successful
signal transmission. You can control up to 3 different
components with the triple extender.
