Step 5: Updating the Harmony Remote and RF Wireless Extender  

Once you have finished the first four 
steps, your account has been prepared 
with all of the information the remote needs to 
control your entertainment system. At this point, 
connect the RF Wireless Extender to the USB 
cord, and click 

Update

. Next, follow the 

instructions to update the RF Wireless Extender 

(fig. 5)

. Don’t plug in the AC power cord for the 

RF Wireless Extender – you'll do that in just a 
moment. Click 

Next

 to download your system 

information into the RF Wireless Extender. The 
progress bar of the Harmony wizard interface 
will show you the status of the download as it 
happens. When this process is complete you'll 
be prompted to connect the USB cable to your 
remote control 

(fig. 6)

. Make the connection and 

begin the update of the remote. After the 
updates, all of the data to control the home-
entertainment system is stored in flash memory 
within the remote and the RF Wireless 
Extender. This ensures that in the event 
the remote’s battery is depleted, the 
system configuration will not be lost.

Step 6: Connecting the Remote to the RF Wireless Extender 

After a successful update of the remote and the extender, a message on the remote's 
display screen will prompt you to connect a Z-Wave module; in this case the module is 
your RF Wireless Extender. Plug the RF Wireless Extender into a power outlet nearby 
the components you want to control, and press the 

Connect

 button for at least one full 

second. Your Harmony 890 remote will then recognize that the RF Wireless Extender is 
part of the Z-Wave wireless network. Confirmation of this process is shown in the 
remote's color display with a green check mark. Place the RF Wireless Extender near 
the components you want to control, and you can then control the components from up 
to 100 feet away.  
 
After basic setup is complete, you may decide to customize the buttons or the color 
display options of the Harmony remote. At any time, you can go back to your Harmony 
member page and adjust the settings. The Web page can be reached by simply 
connecting the remote over USB or clicking on the Harmony logo that should be located 
in your system tray of a Windows OS PC or DOCK bar on a Mac OS X.
