INTRODUCTION
The Remote Control Extender is a revolutionary device which will turn virtually any IR (Infrared) remote
control into an RF (Radio Frequency) remote control. No longer do your electronic devices need to be out in
the open for you to control them. Additional benefits of the Remote Control Extender are:
• Send signals through walls and ceilings.
• Control Audio and Video devices which are placed out of sight.
• RF Transmitter is available wherever the remote control is located.
• Installation is as easy as changing a battery
Please ensure that all of the components below are included and follow the 5 Easy installation steps below
and start enjoying the power of RF control.

1. Remote Extender Receiver
2. IR Blaster Cable (1.5m, 2m and 3.5m in length)
3. "AAA" RF Transmitter Sleeve
4. 2 Rechargeable 2/3 Size "AAA" Batteries
5. "AA" Battery Sleeve
STEP 1: INSTALLING THE RF TRANSMITTER AND BATTERY
Simply install the RF transmitter instead of one of the "AAA" or "AA" batteries inside your
remote control.
NOTE: You may have to change the position of the RF transmitter orientation to have better RF perfor-
mance.
STEP 2: SELECTING THE FREQUENCY
Set the Selection Switch (on the back of the RECEIVER) to:
A : 58KHz (Try this setting if your Scientific Atlanta Explorer or Amino STB is not responding)
B : 38KHz (Default setting and most common setting for IR controlled devices)
C : Sensitivity lower e.g. other equipment using 418 MHz (external
interference). See section: "Interference".
STEP 3: RECEIVER PLACEMENT
Place the RECEIVER next to the corresponding device(s) you wish to control.
STEP 4: CONNECTING THE IR BLASTER CABLE
Connect the IR Blaster Cable into the back of the RECEIVER and place the IR Eye(s) on the receiving
window (IR sensor) of each hidden device you want to control.
TIP: Shine a flashlight at the front of your device to help find the receiving IR sensor window

NOTE: There are 3 IR Eyes to control 3 separate devices.
NOTE: Remove the adhesive tape on the bottom of the IR Eye to secure it on the front of the audio/video
equipment IR sensor.
STEP 5: APPLYING POWER TO THE RECEIVER
Plug the power adaptor in the wall socket and connect the DC connector to the back of the RECEIVER. The
POWER LED on the top of the RECEIVER will illuminate.
YOUR REMOTE CONTROL EXTENDER IS NOW READY FOR USE
RE-CHARGING THE 2/3 SIZE "AAA" BATTERY
The Remote Control Extender's receiver is also used to recharge the 2/3 size battery. The Remote Extender
comes with 2 rechargeable batteries to ensure your RF remote is always ready for use. If your remote control
is functioning at a shorter distance than normal (when the LED (A/B) of the RECEIVER does not blink
when a key on the remote control is being pressed) then the battery needs to be recharged.
