This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

BEFORE YOU
BEGIN
Make sure to set your TV to channel 2, 3, or 4
as directed by your satellite receiver manual.
This manual makes reference to "mode
keys." These are the TV, SAT, DVD, and VCR
keys at the top of the remote control.
After you have programmed the remote, you'll
use the mode keys to select which device
you want the remote control to operate.

RECEIVER BASE
INSTALLATION
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.
