Step 5: Updating the Harmony Remote and RF Wireless Extender

happens. When this process is complete you'll
be prompted to connect the USB cable to your
remote control . 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.
