Before you can set up or operate the remote control, you must install two Alkaline AA batteries.

Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of your remote control.

Check battery polarity carefully, and install the batteries as shown in the illustration to the right.

Replace the battery compartment cover.

Option 1

Place the receiver base station in the room where your equipment is located. Choose a location near an electrical outlet on an opposing wall to where the equipment is installed. Point the front of the base station towards the equipment. Try to use your remote from your chosen location to confirm that it is within the operating view of your equipment.

Plug the AC power adapter into the wall outlet. Attach the small plug from the transformer into the jack on the base station. The power light should flash and go out. The light will only go on when it is receiving a command from the Around the House Remote. The base station is ready to use.

Option 2

Using Your Control Cables

With the proper connection, you can hide the receiver base station behind your entertainment system and still control all your equipment. First, plug the control cable into the back of the base station receiver. The emitter end of the control cable must then be placed in front of each piece of equipment you want to communicate with the remote control sensor. The remote control sensor is commonly identifiable by a small plastic window.

You may have to try different locations for optimum performance. You can permanently attach the emitters using the peel-and-stick backing. This attachment should not interfere with normal operation.
