THE POWER BLASTER

The Optional PowerBlaster

(for ‘barrier-free’ RF control)
[Sold separately]

Of all the fabulous RF20 features, this is probably the most
exciting. When used in combination with the optional
PowerBlaster

, the RF20 becomes an amazing remote

control powerhouse that sends multi-directional RF (Radio
Frequency) signals that pass through walls, doors and
floors - both indoors and outdoors.

This changes everything! It enables you to control
Components that are completely out-of-sight, up to 100’
away. The PowerBlaster

picks up RF20’s radio frequency

signals from any direction, regardless of distance, so RF20
doesn’t need to be pointed directly at any Component. Just
imagine - no more pointing! Now you can close your
entertainment center doors, hide your Components, and
still control them with ease. Control outdoor speakers on
your patio. Control your Components anywhere!

One of the best things about this is -- nothing has to be
done to the RF20 for this feature to work.
Every time you press a button on the RF20, it sends both a
standard IR (Infrared Command) AND an RF (Radio Fre-
quency) signal. If you install the PowerBlaster

kit, it will

automatically receive RF20’s radio signals and translate them
into the infrared commands that control your Components.

The RF20 sends radio signal to the PowerBlaster

, which

is a radio receiver

The PowerBlaster

converts radio signals to standard

infrared commands and sends them out via a built-in front
blaster to Components in the same cabinet space.

Self-adhesive “flashers” (included in the PowerBlaster

kit) affix to the front panels of your Components. The
flashers relay infrared commands to Components out-of-
sight of the PowerBlaster’s front blaster. The flashers plug
into PowerBlaster’s rear flasher line output jacks. Each
flasher has a 10’ cable to easily reach Components on
nearby shelves.

NOTE: The RF20's radio signals will not control Components
directly. You must have a PowerBlaster

to receive the

RF20's radio signals. Components that came with "no point-
ing" radio remote controls cannot be operated by the RF20
unless the Component can be switched to standard IR
(Infrared Control) via its internal menus. Some remote con-
trol ceiling fans are radio only and cannot be operated by
the RF20.
