Operating Pronto NG with RF

By default, Pronto NG uses infrared (IR) signals to operate devices. IR signals have an operating distance of approximately 30 ft (10 m).

IR signals

However, you can choose to have Pronto NG working with radio frequency (RF) signals to operate devices from a distance or from an adjacent room.

An RF Extender (not included) is therefore required.

The RFX6000 is an RF Extender that can be used in combination with

Pronto NG. The RF Extender receives RF signals from Pronto NG and converts them into IR signals, sent out to the device. Therefore, the RF Extender has to be placed near the device you are operating with the RF Extender’s sending eye pointed towards the device.
