EN How to Install the RF Extender How to Position the Receiver Unit For optimal performance, the Receiver unit should be placed in a location where there is little or no RF interference. In most cases, however, you will notice no RF interference. There may be RF interference when other appliances (such as WiFi base stations, audio/video devices, microwave ovens, or wireless telephones) are operated nearby. The LED on the Receiver unit indicates the amount of RF interference. The amount of RF interference present is indicated by the rate at which the LED blinks and the brightness of the LED when blinking (a higher rate of blinking and a brighter light means more RF interference). To avoid interference, place the Receiver unit in a position in which the Receiver unit LED blinks and burns as little as possible. Remark Do not operate the Pronto Remote Control while positioning the Receiver unit, since both RF interference and operation of the Pronto Remote Control will cause the LED of the Receiver unit to blink. To find the position with the least amount of RF interference, try out the following steps: 1 Try to create the worst-case scenario, by turning on all devices that may cause RF interference. If the RF Extender and the Pronto Remote Control work properly in this scenario, they will certainly work in other situations. 2 Extend the antenna of the Receiver unit, and direct it upwards.
