MRF-350 BASE STATION Optimizing Range and Reliability 1. Power on all AV components, lower all dimmers to 50% and power on anything that may create RF Interference (particularly devices with high speed microprocessors or hard drives). 2. Check that the address wheel on the bottom of the MRF-350 is set to ID#0 (the interference "sniffing" position). Slide off the mounting plate to reveal the RF ID# rotary switch. Check that the arrow pointer in the center of the wheel is pointed to 0, the default "interence sniffing" position. If it is not, use a small flat blade screwdriver (included) to set the RF ID# to 0. 3. Connect the MRF-350 to its DC wall adapter and plug the wall adapter into a live AC outlet. Place the MRF-350 in a convenient central location in the equipment rack. Unlike an MRF-250, the MRF-350 can be placed next to components with hard drives or high speed microprocessors. There is no RF circuitry inside the MRF-350 itself. 4. Connect the RFX-250 to the MRF-350's RF INPUT. You can connect to either the screw connector or the jack as shown: When connecting a single RFX-250 to the MRF-350 utilize the cable with 3.5 mm plugs on both ends. When you need a longer wire or are connecting up to three RFX-250s, use a cable with tinned ends. Cable can be extended as much as 200', then connected to the removable screw connector plugs. If you use CAT 5 connect four conductors to GND (one from each twisted pair) and connect the remaining conductors two at a time to 5V and DATA . Page 3
