Expanded “No More Pointing” Operation ­Indoors and Outdoors, Through Walls, Doors
and Cabinets

Thank you for purchasing the EXPANDER kit (MRF-100)!
With the Expander, you can expand the range of your Unifier,
Customizer or Automator remote control 50 to 100 feet
through walls, doors, inside or outside. Since the Expander kit
picks up the remote control’s RF (radio frequency) signals
from any direction, you don’t have to point the remote con­trol towards your components.

Nothing has to be done to the remote control for this feature
to work. However, the Expander is only compatible with
Universal Remote Control’s Unifier (URC-100), the
Customizer (URC-200) or the Automator (URC-300). Every
time you press a button on one of these unique remote con­trols, they send both a line of sight IR (infrared) command
AND an RF duplicate. The MRF-100 radio frequency receiver
will pick up the RF signals and translate them into infrared
commands that control your components.

Note: The radio signals from a Unifier, Customizer or Automator remote con­trol will not control components directly. You must have an Expander to
receive the radio signals. Components that came with “no pointing” radio
remote controls cannot be operated by the Unifier, Customizer or Automator
remote control unless the component can be switched to line of sight
(Infrared) control via it’s internal menus. Some remote control ceiling fans are
radio only and cannot be operated by the Unifier, Customizer or Automator
remote controls.

3. Self-adhesive “flashers” (included in the
Expander kit) affix to the front panels of your com­ponents. The flashers relay commands to compo­nents out of sight of the MRF-100 front blaster. The
flashers plug in to the MRF-100 rear flasher line
output jacks. Each flasher has a 10’ cable to easily
reach components on nearby shelves.

2. The Expander converts RF to IR (infrared) commands and
sends them out to components in the same cabinet space via
the built-in front blaster.

1. The Unifier, Customizer or
Automator remote control sends
RF (radio frequency) signals to the
Expander, which is an RF receiver.
