How to Do More How to Set the Extender IDs The RF Extender can be used in several situations as illustrated in the picture on p. 4: out of sight, in an adjacent room, or inside a closet. Since the RF Extender 'communicates' with the Pronto Remote Control, you must set the same Extender ID (identity) on both appliances. The settings depend on whether you have a single RF Extender or multiple RF Extenders. Single RF Extender When you use only one RF Extender, you can accept the default setting for the Extender ID (ID=0). ■ On the Pronto Remote Control, choose the same Extender ID for each device controlled by the RF Extender. Refer to the Pronto User Guide for more information. Multiple RF Extenders If you want to operate several of your devices independently, e.g. grouped in different locations, you need multiple RF Extenders. When using several RF Extenders, it is important to assign a unique Extender ID to each Blaster unit. You can assign 16 Extender IDs (from 0 to 9 and from A to F). For the three RF Extenders in the picture on p. 4, you can set the Extender IDs as described below: ■ For situation A, set the Extender ID to 0; ■ For situation B, set the Extender ID to 1; ■ For situation C, set the Extender ID to 2. 1 Choose an Extender ID for the Blaster unit by turning the ID dial with a small screwdriver.
