7.Using the remote controller with Radio Frequency

Warning:

To use the remote controller with radio frequency (RF), you need an RF Receiver, which is not included in package.

By default, the remote controller uses infrared (IR) signals to operate devices. This means that you have to point the remote controller’s sending eye towards the device you are operating. IR signals have an operating distance of 10 meters (33 feet).

You can select to operate devices using radio frequency (RF) signals instead of IR signals. RF signals have an operating distance of approximately 20 meters (66 feet) in house and , unlike IR signals, is able to go through obstacles like furniture or walls. The RF signals sent out by the remote controller are picked up by the RF Receiver. The RF Receiver translates the RF signals in IR signals and sends the IR signals to the appropriate device.

Therefore, the RF Receiver has to be placed near the device you’re operating with the RF Receiver’s sending eye pointed to the device. Your devices will always receive IR signals either directly from the remote controller or from the RF Receiver.
