Mounting

The RF Extender can be mounted to a piece of furniture using the included
mounting plate and the 4 screws. Take into account the range and the working
angle of the IR blaster as explained on p. 3. Also make sure to place the 
RF Extender in a 

central position

aimed directly at your devices.

Warning It is adviced not to place the RF Extender inside or near a 

metal

closet as 

RF signals can be disturbed by metal objects.

Installation

1 Remove the mounting plate from the bottom of the RF Extender.

2 Screw the plate to a rack, closet or another piece of furniture. 

Provide sufficient space to connect the power adapter and to slide the
RF Extender back on.

Note

Depending on the surface, it may be possible to attach the RF Extender to the
furniture using a piece of 2-sided tape. Look for the right position and make sure
there is sufficient space.

3 Slide the RF Extender on the mounting plate.

Using the Dual IR Emitters

Like the IR blaster of the RF Extender, the 

dual IR emitters

send out IR signals.

You can use the dual IR emitters as an 

alternative

for the IR blaster.

When to use the emitters

The IR emitters can control devices the IR blaster cannot reach, for instance when
there is limited space around the receiving eyes of the devices, e.g. in a small
closet.

Note

The IR emitters can also be used in 

combination

with the IR blaster of the 

RF Extender. Both send out IR signals simultaneously. This allows you to operate
several devices using both the IR blaster and the IR emitters.
