INSTALLING

THE

RF

EXTENDER

1.

Put the

RF

Extender down close to

the

devices you want to

control.

UNPACKING

First

of

all, make sure you have the following pieces

in

your

package:

An

Xsight

RF

Extender

A power adapter

6

infrared (lR)

LED

extender cables

Congratulations on

your

purchase of the Xsight

RF

Extender. Now

you're ready to unlock your Xsight Touch remote's ability to control

hidden components

or

components in another room.

Your Xsight Touch remote (sold separately) sends two signals when

you press a key:

an

infrared signal (IR)

for

the devices you

can

see

and a radio frequency signal

(RF)

for

the

devices you can't. Unlike

IR

signals,

RF

signals can travel through barriers like walls, floors,

and ceilings. This Xsight

RF

Extender receives those

RF

signals and

translates them

to

IR

signals

the

hidden devices can understand.

In

other

words, with your Xsight Touch and this Xsight

RF

Extender,

you can put your devices

in

another room (up

to

100ft

away) or in a

closed cabinet and control them

as

if

you could see them.

This

RF

Extender

does

not operate devices using

an

RF

signal

only.

Remember,

if

the

devices

you

operate using the

RF

Extender are

hidden

or

in

a

different

room,

you

won't

see

the device respond

to

remote commands unless the device

is

connected

to

a

monitor

you

can

see

or

hear.

This

product will not operate specific devices using

IR

protocol

2-way-TV

IRDA

waveform,

XMP1.4

(works with

XMP1.0)

or

Multi

Media

Protocol

RCMM.

If

you

are unsure

of

the details

of

the

IR

protocol

used

by

your

devices,

please refer to the manual

or

contact the manufacturer

of

the

devices.

3.

Place the

other

end of

each

of

the

IR

extender

cables in clear view of

the

device's

IR

window-this

is

where

the

device receives

commands

from

your

remote control.

Note:

Check

the owner's manual that

came

with your device

to

see

exactly where the

IR

window

is

on

each

device

if

you're not

sure.

You

can

also place the wand about

2"

away

from

the device's

front

panel, facing the device.

4.

Plug one end

of

the

power adapter

into

the Xsight

RF

Extender

back panel. Plug

the

other

end into a wall

outlet

or

surge

protector.

Important:

This

power adapter should

be

plugged

in

so

that

it

stays

vertical

or

lays

flat.

each of the devices

you want

to

control.

For

example,

if

you have a

DVD

player and a

satellite receiver in a cabinet, get
