OWNER’S MANUAL
Transmitter (TX): The Transmitter converts the infrared
signals from your remote control into long-range RF (radio
frequency) signals that are sent to the Receiver. The LED
lights when the unit is powered and flashes during signal
transmission. The unit has a built-in antenna.
Receiver (RX): The Receiver converts the RF (radio
frequency) signals from the Transmitter back to the
infrared signals used to control your components. The unit
has a built-in antenna and a jack for an Infrared Extension.
The LED lights when the unit is powered and flashes during
signal transmission. 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 1
Infrared diode connected to a 10 ft. extension wire and plug.

STEP 1:
Setting Up the Transmitter
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 its remote sensor 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
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 Receiver's blaster window
toward the infrared remote sensor(s) on
the audio/video component.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the Receiver is
located within 18 feet of the components
you want to control. Make sure the
Receiver's blaster window is level or
slightly below the remote sensor(s) on your
components.
After setting up your Transmitter and Receiver, operate
the Signal Sender by aiming your remote at the remote
sensor on the front of the Transmitter.

STEP 3 (IF NECESSARY):
Setting Up the Infrared Extender
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 is located in
a closed cabinet.)
• Use when you would prefer to conceal the Receiver in a
cabinet or behind furniture.
How to Use:
1. Plug the Infrared Extender into the EXTENDER JACK on
the back of the Receiver.
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.

Troubleshooting:
1. Make sure both units are plugged into a standard
electrical outlet.
2. If the LED light inside the Transmitter does not flash
when the Remote Control is operated:
• Make sure you are pointing at the front of the
Transmitter (the remote sensor is on the front).
• Make sure you are within 18 feet of the front of
the Transmitter (depending on the range of your
individual remote control, it may be necessary to
move closer to the Transmitter).
• Make sure nothing is blocking the path between the
remote and the Transmitter.
3. If your component does not respond when a remote
control is used, but the LED on the Receiver flashes:
• Make sure the Receiver is within 18 feet of your
component equipment
• Make sure the blaster window on the front of your
Receiver is pointing at the front of your component.
• Make sure there is a clear path between the Receiver
and your component.
4. If the LED light on the Transmitter flashes when you
operate the remote, but the LED on the Receiver does
not:
• Extend the antenna all the way up or move the
antenna to a different position for better reception.
• Make sure the Transmitter is no more than 100 feet
from the Receiver.
