Using the Remote Control
with Radio Frequency
Warning To use the Remote Control with radio frequency (RF) you need an RF Extender,
which is not included with the Remote Control.
By default, the Remote Control uses
infrared (IR) signals to operate devices.
This means that you have to point the
Remote Control’s sending eye towards
the device you’re operating. IR signals
have an operating distance of 10 meters
(33 feet).
You can choose to operate devices using
radio frequency (RF) signals instead of
IR signals. RF signals have an operating
distance of approximately 20
meters (66 feet) in house and can,
unlike IR signals, go through
obstacles like furniture or walls.
The RF signals sent out by the
Remote Control are picked up by
the RF Extender. The RF Extender
translates the RF signals in IR
signals and sends the IR signals to
the appropriate device.
