User manual UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL MRF-250

[. . . ] It enables you to control Components that are completely out-of-sight, up to 100' away. The PowerBlasterTM picks up RF remote control radio frequency signals from any direction, regardless of distance, so the remote doesn't need to be pointed directly at any Component. [. . . ] Now you can close your entertainment center doors, hide your Components, and still control them with ease. One of the best things about this is - nothing has to be done to the remotes themselves for this feature to work. Every time you press a button on one of the MasterControlTM RF series remotes, it sends both a standard IR (Infrared Command) AND an RF (Radio Frequency) signal. When you install the PowerBlasterTM kit, it will automatically receive radio signals from RF series remotes and translate them into the infrared commands that control your Components. The Quick Setup DVD Guide will assist you in setting up PowerBlasterTM to work with your RF series remotes by guiding you through an easy step-by-step process. This Owner's Manual is designed as a companion reference source to the DVD Setup Guide, should you need to refer back to a particular section, or review certain instruction detail not covered in the DVD. However, if you are unable to watch the DVD Guide for some reason, everything you need to know about setting up PowerBlasterTM is contained in this Manual. NOTE: PowerBlasterTM is only compatible with Universal Remote Control's MasterControlTM RF series remote controls (RF10, RF20, RF30). The flashers plug in to PowerBlaster'sTM rear flasher line output jacks. Each flasher has a 10' cable to easily reach components on nearby shelves. 5 PowerBlasterTM Parts Guide Quantity 1 1 4 1 6 Description PowerBlasterTM Receiver with integrated antenna Mounting Plate for wall mounting PowerBlasterTM Screws for wall mounting the mounting plate 9V-300mA Power Supply Flashers with 10 foot plug-in cables. 6 The Mounting Plate PowerBlasterTM Red Power LED lights to indicate when PowerBlaster TM is plugged into an active AC outlet.

If there is any flickering, move PowerBlasterTM farther away from the A/V components. STEP 4: Orient the Antenna for Optimum Range. If you need to extend the range of the remote, try adjusting the angle of PowerBlaster'sTM receiving antenna via it's pivoting ball mount.
