[. . . ] When you point the Automator at the components, expect the range to be between 30 and 50 feet. When the remote is not pointed in the general direction of the components, the range will vary (depending on reflective surfaces, lighting, etc. ). By purchasing the optional Expander (a radio receiver), you can operate your equipment with the Automator 50 to 100 feet away (through walls, doors, cabinets, inside or outside). Since the Expander picks up the Automator's radio signals from any direction, regardless of distance, the Automator doesn't have to be pointed! [. . . ]
