The Optional Expander

You can use the Customizer as you would your other remote controls. It transmits very powerful line-of-sight output using infrared light commands (invisible to the naked eye). When you point the Customizer 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.).

However, the Customizer also sends radio signals in every direction. By purchasing the optional Expander (a radio receiver), you can operate your equipment with the Customizer 50 to 100 feet away (through walls, doors, cabinets, inside or outside). Since the Expander picks up the Customizer's radio signals from any direction, regardless of distance, the Customizer doesn’t have to be pointed!

Nothing has to be done to the Customizer for this feature to work. Every time you press a button on the Customizer, it sends both a standard infrared command AND a radio signal. If you install the Expander kit, the MRF-100 will receive the Customizer’s radio signals and translate them into the infrared commands that control your components.

Note: The Customizer's radio signals will not control components directly. You must have an Expander to receive the Customizer's radio signals. Components

that came with "no pointing" radio remote controls cannot be operated by the Customizer unless the component can be switched to standard infrared control via its internal menus. Some remote control ceiling fans are radio only and cannot be operated by the Customizer.
