RF code You can choose to operate your devices with RF signals instead of IR
signals. To use RF signals, you need an RF Extender. The advantage of

words, you can operate your devices from an adjacent room.

them into IR signals to operate devices. When your Pronto sends out RF
codes, the RF Extender receives them and sends out IR codes to your
devices.
